I’ve heard a lot of questionable stuff about this Bible. I’ve heard even more questionable stuff on out its main translator, but I just don’t see why. It’s really just an easy to read, almost novel-like version of the Bible. It has an explanation in the beginning explaining why it’s not exactly word for word; it has great explanations and commentary to help the reader understand the verse and the translations; it encourages readers to compare with other translations; and it has all “added for context, explanation, or better understanding” words in italics so if your skeptical about anything, you’ll know whether it’s added context. I love it. It’s helped me to read the Bible so much more than I ever have before and it’s strengthened my relationship with God so much because I can not only understand what I’m reading better, but I can understand it AS I read it. Previously, it used to take hours of questions, researching, studying, and learning the history and context of even the simplest verses. I still research and make sure I truly understand what I’m reading, but this has just made it so much easier and also made it possible for me to not have to make an Olympic sport out of reading my bible every time I go to read it.

I have been enjoying the thoughts found in this translation. I use the King James Version for most of my study but this version opens thought to new ideas on the familiar verses. For example, I John 3:1 - KJ: "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:" Passion: "Look with wonder at the depth of the Father's marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children".The Expresso binding is tight. The pages: you can see through where the white, non-typing is on one page and not the back page. Where typing is on both front and back pages there is no problem. The thinness of the pages is good for reading but probably not good for writing notes in the margins. The type is clear and easy to read. The font is small and you will need to use glasses if reading in the middle of the night with low light. I use this as a research Bible so I am not reading it chapter by chapter, therefore, the font is ok. I looked at other stores to buy this book but Amazon had the least expensive price, which I appreciate.I'm very pleased with this Passion translation.

Overall: I have been reading the Bible since I could read and this has enriched my understanding. I read this along with ESV daily frequently comparing with NKJV, NIV, NLT, NASB, and WEB. IT IS NOT misleading. Please do your own comparison before following the reviews of others.This has brought LIFE to me in so many ways. It fully agrees with, substantiates, and fortifies the Good News spoken by Jesus.Quality: I've used this mid-size brown "leather" copy every day for a year (as of 02-2021), and it's holding up well! See my photos for wear. I toss it in my tote with other bibles and journals, and while it's getting pretty dirty, it's not falling apart.Size/font: I personally love this size. I have it pictured with an A5 journal for comparison. For someone with good eyesight the font is great. The verse numbers and footnotes are very small. Some of my friends prefer the large print version in order to see more easily.Pages: The pages are not as thin as other bibles, but not as thick as some. I show the front and back of a page with heavy highlighting. My highlighters are not traditional, they're the Pilot Frixion erasable. Ballpoint pen definitely shows through, but no bleeding.If you are determined not to like this Bible, then it will be just a book for you. If you are open to reading it side by side with your trusted Bible I KNOW that the Holy Spirit will guide you into new revelation because 1) that's what is promised to us by the Holy Spirit and 2) the Word of God is the Word of God, and is more full of power than any human can mismanage. To tear down the Word of God is dangerous. To allow the Word to transform us through believing it is LIFE!

I love the Passion Translation! The translators have done an amazing job digging into the depths of the original languages. The footnotes are incredibly helpful. The Passion Translation (TPT) has become my favorite translation. The Word comes alive! It is impossible to read TPT without falling more in love with Jesus!This compact edition is lightweight and easy to carry with me in my purse or luggage when I travel, yet the paper is still thick enough to underline and write notes in the margin.

This Bible is excellent gift for men. Print is good sized and the cover attractive.

It’s a Beautiful Gift and very affordable.Easy to read and a nice Translation too. NIV is also a favorite easy to read Translation for me.I Gave away my first copy of the Passion New Testament Bible as a Gift to someone else.And feeling Happy to receive the Beautiful meaningful N.T. Bible for myself today.You will be very Blest as you read this N.T. Bible.
