First sentence: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
When I found this one at a thrift store, I was super excited because I misread the copyright of the narrated notes by F. Lagard Smith for the copyright of the translation. For most of the world, "which" year for the NIV is a non-issue. There is a percentage for which it matters a great deal. NIV 84 forever! I partly jest. Still the NIV 84 is what I first read and loved. It is ALL the comfort and nostalgia I need. Have I moved on? Yes. Mostly. But don't ask me to gush about the NIV 2011.
This one is arranged into daily dated readings. It is single columns. Each day's reading is marked with a symbol. It is black letter. The font size was decent. It is, of course, chronological, that is what sets this one apart from other Bibles.
I first read the NARRATED BIBLE in 1997 or 1998. It was the second Bible I read cover to cover. I read the NARRATED Bible in three weeks--in between Christmas and the start of the next college semester--so mid January. I absolutely fell in love with F. Lagard Smith's narration. It was just a great experience all around. So I was happy to try to recreate that with this one. Same notes or narrations, different translation. It wasn't the same experience. ( )
I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone looking to read the entire Bible. Until I participated on a year long bible study, reading the NIV Bible according to the schedule laid out by F. LaGard Smith, I really didn't understand the overall chronology of The Old Testament and how the various history, law, wisdom, and major and minor prophet books in it fit together and related to one another. Smith's harmony of the gospels is also very enlightening, as is his use of the book of Acts as a guide to Paul's letters. Smith's commentaries along the way aren't exstensive enough for in depth study of any particular book, but they are helpful in understanding the order in which he guides you through the entire Bible.
