Though I have to admit I like the NASB Bible more, this Bible holds a lot of significance for me. It was my first real Bible. I remember going to Sunday School with one of those picture storybook Bibles when the teacher told us to bring our Bibles, and was regretfully told that this was the wrong sort of Bible. So my parents faithfully bought me this one.
I read this particular Bible twice. The first time I finished by September 23, 2006 and the second time on June 7, 2008. My motive to begin was that well, since I am a Christian, and the Bible is our Scripture, why shouldn't I read the whole thing? I discovered that actually many Christians have not read the entire Bible, which astounded me, so I decided in my little 9-year-old heart of hearts to finish the thick volume, though it may take years.
I read the Bible everyday. My grandparents--one of the select few who had actually read through the Bible several times over--advised me to read the Old Testament and the New Testament together, which I did the first time. When I completely finished the Bible, I was satisfied. I had finished! I didn't need to continue reading it since I've reached my goal. But those rushed hours when I did read it now felt extremely empty, prodding me to reread this Bible along with all the little footnotes, and I succeeded once again.
I am currently reading the Bible for the 3rd time in my NASB study Bible which is much more informative and helps me understand the Bible better, yet at the same time drives me crazy because it has SO MANY NOTES AND FOOTNOTES AND MAPS AND DIAGRAMS AND CHARTS. But at the same time, I'm gaining new understanding of God's purpose in my life.
I would definitely recommend this Bible to anyone!!! It was perfect for a child my age with plenty of for-kids explanations, little biographies on important biblical figures, activities, maps, a concordance, and much more! Happy reading to all!

The best Bible out there!
This is the only Bible I ever owned. I got this as a kid, but never read it. It took a youth trip - a week long conference - where my friend asked me, "Have you been reading your Bible?" Big fat no lol. This book is dumb, its old, how is it relevant for me? He encouraged me to read it. That night we went into the stairwell of the dorm (it was the only quiet place we could find), and we sat down on the cold, dusty concrete floor.
We turned to Matthew 5. And we started reading. My eyes were opened. This was the most incredible things I've ever read in my life!! I got so excited, we just kept reading and talking about Jesus' words. I've never heard anything like this! I've grown up in the church, but I never listened, never cared. And now here I am reading this ancient book with my friend and everything is just so amazing.
I kept reading until I finished the Bible on June 29, 2019. I've continued to read it ever since. There's so much here, praise God for showing me his truths and wonders. I'm inspired and I just want to jump into this book whenever I can!
Edit (second read - 6/5/2023):
I've finally read all the books in the Bible twice (some books many time more than that, but at least each book twice now) and I've barely tapped the surface in my exploration of God's Word. I barely know anything about the Prophets, and my understanding of the NT letters is still shallow; my knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures is just simply lacking. I'm gonna dedicate more time to reading the Bible, uncovering its truths, and renewing my mind and heart.

Bought this Bible for my daughter Morgan and she takes very good care of it and reads it often. Easy for a fourth grader to understand and very girly looking. What's not to love?

This is a great resource even as an adult who is new to Christianity to break down the events and people of the Bible in simpler terms (especially to someone who grew up not hearing these stories as a kid, I found it helpful!)

I bought this Bible to help me teach children, but it has become my favorite Bible for myself. I love the historical facts in it. I don't think I'll ever actually be done reading it because I'll use it in continued study.

The bible is not for children and to indoctrinate children is one of the greatest evils. You rob them of the sanctity of their freedom of choice. To choose a religion is one of the most meaningful decisions a person can make in their lives. Underhanded tactics like coercion (missionaries) and indoctrination (baptism) rob one of this beautiful choice. It is no coincidence therefore, that christianity is the worlds most widespread religion, because they are the most liberal users of just such tactics. This dying religion has to resort to these tactics because very few adults who have not been indoctrinated at their most vulnerable and impressionable willingly convert. Ironically it is this very book that converted me to atheism all those years ago. Even at that age I could not reconcile the story of Uzzah with my views on morality. The predestination bit really did it for me.
Book is good in terms of explaining references though.

This book is what I base my life off of. I really like this bible not only because it is NIV and the wording is easy to understand, but it explains different stories of the bible, gives ideas as to what you can do to become a better Christian, explains biblical terms, and points out what people of the bible did for God and Jesus. It puts God's word into easy to understand formating, and that is just...wonderful.

A gift given to me after "graduating" the 3rd grade Sunday school program at Golf Course Road Church of Christ in Midland, Texas. This was my 2nd Bible to have & read as my very own. I liked some of the practical life applications for kids written in the margins, even thru high school.

I have to admit, I haven't read the whole bible, but, if I did, i would choose this one. The side boxes explain things about the culture of the world at the time of the story, helping to clear up possible misconceptions.
