Summary: Footnotes Not Included
Review: I bought the Recovery Version New Testament 2-3 years ago and was pleased to find out that the Old Testament translation was soon to be published as well. I assumed there would be footnote and study pages for the Old Testament version as there had been for the New Testament. When I received my Bible, I was disappointed to find out that there are no footnotes at all for either the old or new testaments. While the translation itself is fine, it was the notes and comments that made me "think outside the box" of my faith. Witness Lee has a unique way of describing Bible passages and making me see in a fresh and different way. I gave this review 3 stars because without the notes and comments, I find the translation to be equal to any of the other excellent translations out there, but not better.

Summary: It's the best!
Review: I use this all the time! It's the only one I have read since I came to owning it. I am a High Schooler and there are many things that I don't understand. With this version I was able to understand what is being said. I belive that it is easier to read than some I have read, and I enjoy it very much :-)

Summary: I love and treasure this Bible
Review: If you see strong likes and dislikes regarding any matter, you know there must be something deep within, especially when it comes to the matter of interpreting God's Words. Let's first go back to the history a little bit. In the year 1385 when John Wycliffe translated the Bible into English from the Latin Vulgate, he suffered intense persecution. He was expelled from his teaching position at Oxford, and 44 years after he died, the Pope ordered his bones exhumed and burned. Intense persecution stamped out his followers and teachings. One of the reasons that all those happened is because of his translation. God's Words bring light, life and nourishment to all His genuine seekers through a healthy interpretation from the original languages. The Devil certainly does not want to see this happen. That is why he stimulated many malicious minds to damage and deframe those who endeavor to spread God's Words and gospel. I have many versions of Bible in English in front of me, and I have to tell from my conscience and experiences that the Recovery Version is the one that I treasured most. I have been enlightened and nourished by God's Words and the healthy interpretation in this easy-to-understand translation. God bless you in the name of our dear Lord Jesus!

Summary: Clear understanding
Review: The Holy Bible - Recovery Version is the most clear interpretation of God's Word in clear english and yet not compromising in its translation. I have been studying the Bible for Over 24 years and have used many different versions. This version truly recovers and reveals the spoken Word as recorded by men inspired of God. Where translations vary for certain verses or words, there are clear footnotes indicating the other possible meanings and root meanings. The literal meanings of certain key words are also presented. It is a pure translation from a true steward of God's Word.
