Aug 12th, 2007 by makeeshafisher
I just read about this cool Bible format from Doug today - if you want one of these, let me know, we’ll get a bunch sent to us and you can pitch in whatever you can afford. They’re only $9 ea as is it…or $8 if we can get 12 people interested.
Here’s an explanation from the IBSDirect website: and this site explains more
The Books of the Bible project encourages better Bible reading, particularly by emphasizing the reading of whole books. The result is an inviting and clean visual presentation of the Bible, in Today’s New International Version (TNIV), that can be understood and enjoyed more easily. The Books of the Bible differs from the format of most current Bibles in significant ways:
- Chapter and verse numbers are removed from the text
(A chapter and verse range is given at the bottom of each page)- Each book’s natural literary breaks are shown instead
- There are no notes, cross references, or section headings in the text
- Text is presented in one column rather than two or more
- Books that have historically been divided into parts are restored
- Books are presented in an order that gives readers more help in understanding
