Mrs. Dixon is not only wise in her prose, but has insight and enlightenment in a wide range of emotions and spirituality to diversity and courage.

Her poetry is positive and compassionate. You can feel her sense of care for the world with each line she writes. She is a composer in the beautiful symphony of poetry. Thank you Hannah Dixon for sharing your crossroads of hope and possibility.

Hannah Forsyth Dixon's book, Inspiration in Poetry gives one hope and encouragement through the words she has expressed through her poetry. I enjoyed the solitude that it evoked when I read the poems.

Leaving the bulk of how the word speaks to you in the Lord's hands, this Bible is still the most reader-friendly and practical resource I have found in a long time. The daily devotional entries are sensitive, encouraging and hit home everytime with relevance. I am still thankful for finding it at such a bargain.

It was always daunting to try to read the King James version of the Bible; archaic language, measurements to which modern readers cannot relate, and a general feeling of failure when an average person attempts to read it. I know I was frequently confused and unsure at what I had read!

Not so with the New Living Translation, which reads very well, yet retains all of the meaning of the original translations. Footnotes are liberally scattered in cases of translation ambiguity - and gives alternate possibility. It is nicely bound (hardcover) and the type is sized right for visibility.

What's nice about this Bible is that each day has a different theme, which allows you to read a short example, story, or anecdote as it relates to specific Scripture. Since I just bought this in August, I didn't start with January 1.

Reading the Bible no longer has to be a daunting task, with trying to figure out the "begat"s and the "thine"s and attempting to figure out a "cubit". It's a pleasure to read and makes one want to keep reading!

Absolutely the most beautiful books I have ever purchased and worth every penny. I will definitely buy classic books from this company again. Though next time I will have them delivered to my mailbox instead of home so I don't have to run to the Post Office to pick them up and sign for them.

These are beautiful books. I will have to save my pennies. Exquisite quality.

While this book is focused at teens, it is a fantastic Bible also for people who are for the first time digging into the Word. I have given this Bible to younger 20's new believers and find it meets them where they are at. The NLT is a very approachable reading translation for people to get started with. The ESV remains by far my favorite translation, but the NLT is more "new user" friendly. The little additions of commentary and notes through this Bible are handy and helpful when people are just learning things for the first time.

Excellent, easy to understand version of the Bible. Highly recommend it for teens. The notes keep the focus on Jesus.

This book is an outstanding sample of art and artisans from the Heartland of the USA - Kansas! The author has put together a fantastic collection of the artwork of John Steuart Curry, thus creating not only an enjoyably educational picture book for children - but for anyone of any age!
You never tire of going through this book, looking at the awe-inspiring images of the murals painted on the walls of the Capital building in Topeka, Kansas. The artwork is captured in excellent reproduction and the story is told from the heart - as only a fellow Kansas artist could have accomplished!
My compliments to the author!
And, my compliments to Leathers Publishing (another Kansas great) for producing another literary gem!
A must-have for anyone's library - and a wonderful coffee-table book for home and office.

This is a beautiful book and the murals are almost as incredible as they are in the State House in Topeka!

This is an excellent and well-researched story of a remarkable Civil War regiment from "Bleeding Kansas," with copious pictures, biographies of not only generals but foot-soldiers, and descriptions of battles from diaries, letters and newspapers. Often shirtless, shoeless and hatless, the unit traveled over 10,750 miles, and participated in 15 battles and 13 skirmishes (Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta, Nashville, etc.), while "keeping the flag forward."

Bill McFarland has put together a very good, very readable Civil War regimental, plowing new ground for the nearly forgotten Eighth Kansas Volunteer Infantry Regiment Bloodhounds. Skillfully using local news accounts, letters, diaries, pension records and unpublished personal narratives, and mixing in some 140 photographs and illustrations including nearly sixty pictures of Eighth Regiment personnel, McFarland tells his story from the ground up.

Organized in 1861 as Home Guards with the promise they would serve only in Kansas, this regiment traveled 10,750 miles to their muster out in San Antonio, Texas in January of 1866. Along the way they served in forts and communities on the western frontier, and fought against guerrilla leader, William Quantrill. Their travels took them through the battles at Perryville, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, the Atlanta Campaign and Nashville where they faced and defeated Confederate John Bell Hood. During their four years, four months and eleven days of service, they participated in fifteen battles and eighteen skirmishes. They lost 64 men killed, 272 wounded and 21 missing. Of the missing nearly all were killed. Of the wounded nearly one-third died.

The illustrations in "Keep the Flag to the Front" published by Leathers Publishing in Overland Park, Kansas seem to jump out and bite you.

From the painting on the dust cover to the end notes and index, this is the best overall regimental history I have read in many years. Like the 8th Kansas, this book is built to last.

I have been looking for a bible with conservative, literal study notes. I looked at a lot of King James bibles and was frustrated with most of them. By luck I found this one on sale at my local Christian Book Store, I had a coupon for 10% off any purchase, so I went ahead and bought this book. I was pretty sure it would be just as ridiculous and "modern" as most of the study bibles I had looked at. Wow! what a treat I was in for. This bible addresses many issues that are significant for women, but it also stands alone as an accurate and scholarly work. Headcovering, Submission, Hospitality, Motherhood, Modesty and many other feminine concerns are addressed in a literal and comprehensive manner. There is even a lovely little chart detailing the herbs mentioned in the bible with pictures of each one and details about the way they were used. In addition the letters and words are pretty easy to read. I usually buy large print bibles because of my astigmatism, but this one is perfectly easy for me to read. Besides all of this, it is a lightweight, and compact bible. It easily fits in a medium sized purse. Oh yes, Christ's words are in red too, which is something I always like about a bible. I beleive my search for a great bible is over. I don't usually buy books or bibles specifically aimed at women, but this one really hits the mark. Very Highly Recommended.

I was looking for a KJV study Bible for quite a while when I came across this one. I bought one for myself and one for my long time best friend so we could study "together" (we now live 400+ miles apart). We both love it and really appreciated the conservative view presented in the study notes. Many helpful topics for women. I've enjoyed mine so much I also purchased one for each of my daughters-in-law and have presented them to each on their wedding day. Covers many topics, including headcovering and submission. Such a wonderful change from the "modern" versions. I would highly recommend this Bible to other conservative women.

The Loose-Leaf Reference Bible is an excellent copy of the Bible.

The print quality is very sharp and clear compared to most of the other Bibles published by other companies which are faint and thin. Personally, this is a very important feature to me.

This Bible is printed similar to the superiority of the Bibles printed by Cambridge University Press.

I am a preacher and purchased this Bible because it is a KJV Loose Leaf version.
Now I bind my Bible study and sermon notes as part of my Bible.

Never be without your notes again!

The Holiness of God is certainly displayed in any version of the Bible. Any version is worth reading. This is just one of the many good ones.

BOOK REVIEW:

I was a very big fan of the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible and had no plan of ever getting the King James Version (KJV). The KJV was like Shakespeare to me; I had no idea what it was trying to say. I preferred the NIV, because it was something I could understand; it was also the Bible that was used by everyone when I used to go to church.

One night, I've read on the internet that the KJV is better than the NIV. The very next day, I bought a KJV Bible.

It just might've been my imagination, but when I opened my newly purchased KJV Bible, I found that what I've read on the internet was correct. There are some things that aren't translated very well in the NIV, making the NIV a little bit different from the KJV.

From now on, I'll try to stick to the KJV, because I feel its translation comes closest to the words found in the original Hebrew, Greek, and Armaic texts.

What I like about this Bible:

- Quotes made by Jesus Christ is printed in red, making them stand out against other text, which is printed in black
- There's an illustrated dictionary and concordance
- There are colored maps.

One thing people might not like about this Bible is that the printed words are quite small, which some reviewers here at amazon.com have already pointed out. I didn't mind the small print, but if you prefer a bigger print, I suggest you get the "Large Print" editions. ...

my father-in-law and i had this bible on our 30 day hiking trip through the mountains of oregon and washington. it held up great and was the prefect size for the limited space we had.

Being the New Testament and bearing witness of the one, true Living God who has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, the content of this book is unequalled in history... The physical makeup of the book is good. It has a sort of softcover that is still somewhat sturdy. In the front it has an index of important verses regarding the nature of God and salvation. The are given letters for each topic. In the text of the book these letters are beside verses which relate to them. At the end of the verse is a cross reference where that same topic is addressed again. It's very intuitive and easy to follow. The print is a little larger than most pocket New Testaments. The paper looks and feels almost like linen paper although I'm not sure. At any rate, it's not rough pulp like in most paperbacks and should last a while.
