• Excellent Bible Translation, Very Bad Print Quality. 05 December, 2007
The bible fits your pocket very well, however the print quality is pretty bad, from blurry to crossed prints, extremely uncomfortable to read, unless you want to keep rubbing your eyes. Not recommended unless print quality is improved significantly. Get the other full version, AMP for mass market, cheap paper, but the print quality is so much better.

• Good Idea, But Awkward And Amplifications Often Questionable 16 March, 2002
The Amplified Bible follows a rather unique translation principle. It claims to express "nuances" of the original Hebrew and Greek texts.Now this idea does sound noble. There are many nuances of especially the Greek text that do not translate very easily into English. However, in trying to be so expressive, the Amplified can be very awkward to read. The extreme "amplification" of the word "blessed" in the Beatitudes demonstrates this problem. Each Beatitude begins, "Blessed-happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous [that is, with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation regardless of their outward circumstances]...." Reading nine such amplifications in a row is very tedious.But even more importantly, many of the Amplified Bible's "amplifications" are rather questionable. For instance, in Hebrews 1:4 in the Amplified, Jesus is said to have inherited "the glorious Name (title)." But Jesus' "glorious Name" is more likely merely a reference to His nature not just His title (see John 17:5). "Name" in Scripture often has this wider meaning.So the idea behind the Amplified Bible is good, but the readability and quality leaves something to be desired. I review the Amplified in further detail, along with many other Bible versions, in my book Differences Between Bible Versions.

• Excellent Pocket Edition 02 March, 2008
I bought this small pocket version of the Amplified Bible earlier, and I love it! It's easy to carry with me, but easy to loose. I did, so now I'm buying a new one.
I will highly recommend this Bible for those who want to study the scripture instead of "just" reading it.

• Mini Amplified 02 October, 2000
Very handy,but easy to lose! Needs to be about an inch larger. I like the cover. Publisher might consider adding the Old testament. Add a small concordance and it would be great for travel. That would be awesome! I've been to bible school and never was introduced to this helpful tool. Today, it is a very close friend! I really appreciate the Amplified. Thanks publishers!
