I have used the paperback version for years. I loved it sooo much that it feel apart. I'm sure the hardback version will last longer.

The Amplified is a wonderful translation for expanded understanding. Although wordy at times, it has the ability to open up the meaning of a verse in a new, clear way.
I love it!

My Granddaughter came to me wanting to know more about my faith. I bought her this Amplified Bible because while in Bible college I took a Greek and Hebew class and this Bible does follow the meaning behind the original text.

For the person with limited time to study the full intended meaning of words within a context, this Bible offers understanding and illumination. Additionally, with all of the study helps, it removes any excuses for ignorance of the Bible no matter what your religion.
