I love the Amplified Bible. I was very disappointed in my purchase of the e-bible because it never worked correctly on my tablet. I really needed it for areas I travel with no Wi-Fi. I appreciate the fact that Christian Book refunded my money. However I really wish I can find an e-Bible to work on my tablet.

IMHO The Amplified Bible has not been surpassed by any of the later offerings in Bible translations, though I love ESV and The Voice. The only issue I have had in the past with my copies has to do with quality of construction. But when they can be replaced for only $20, it isn't really so bad; in general, Zondervan Bibles are no threat to Cambridge in the quality department. The large print serves my aging eyes well. I could wish for weaker commitment to the definition of grace as "unmerited favor" and occasional interpretive restraint as at Rom 5:12 in the Amp Bible, but otherwise I can't imagine life without mine. Count 1 happy customer.

I wanted a simple Bible;one that would be able to be read easily, but with the very greatly added feature of expanding upon the usual translations' simple word-for-word translation, such as the KJV or NASB. This Bible does that very nicely. The Amplified text really does justice to the original Hebrew & Greek/Aramaic, in that it does just as the word "Amplified" suggests-it very conveniently brings out the fullest meaning of the original languages, and does so without spoiling in any way the beauty of the original intent of them. The concordance is VERY good for most reader's needs; certainly for the average student of the Word. I chose the Bonded Leather binding and had my name engraved as well. It is one of my favorite "work-horse", every-day reading Bible. I feel the
purchase of this Bible was one of my best for the money. I recommend
this Bible highly.

I use the Amplified Bible for my study because it gives all possible meanings of the words without having to look up information in other books. It's kind of a one-book resource that gives a great deal of information. This edition combined with the ASV, which is another of my favorite translations, simplified my study by having them together. The size type used is readable, and the price for this edition is very reasonable.

I love the Amplified so much, especially with the large (more like giant) print. Although there is more reading involved, it takes the Scriptures into deeper understanding without knowing the original languages (Hebrew/Greek). English is not always a descriptive language, feminine vs mansculine, and we tend to take simple words such as 'keep' for granted. With the AMP it helps with adding the more descriptive details often missed in other translations. The NJKV is nice to read, but if one would like to get a deeper meaning of God's word, I HIGHLY recommend the AMP. The print is also bigger than even our NASB large print, so that helps for those who have trouble seeing smaller print.

The large print is truly large. The AMP version is awesome. The only thing this Bible doesn't have is the Words of Christ in red. Other than that it's perfect. Did I mention the AMP version is awesome? :-)

I had always been a KJV only kind of person; but when I discussed with my pastor how cumbersome bible study was when referencing back to the lexicons to find the deeper meanings of what was written, he let me borrow a copy of the Amplified Bible. It didn't take long for me to see this was the Bible for me. The way the Amplified Bible brings out the richness of the Hebrew and Greek languages is phenomenal. But, what really did it for me was the way I could feel the Holy Spirit when reading and studying from this bible. I would have given a 5 star review if only there were more cross references, but that is the only area where I can see this Bible lacking.

I appreciated the ease to move around in this ebook version of the Amplified Bible. It was easy to switch from any book to another book - including finding chapter & verses. Just wish all the other Bibles were set up in the same way.
