This affordable, pocket-sized book of comforting passages from Scripture features the clear, natural English text of GOD''S WORD Translation.

It also includes lists of the parables of Jesus, the radical ideas of Jesus, the promises of Jesus, and encounters with Jesus during his ministry. Biographies of each Gospel writer, a map of the main places of Jesus''s life and ministry, and a timeline of Jesus''s life make this book ideal for studying the life of Jesus.

Produced to the high standards for which Cambridge is renowned, this Bible is printed on thin but opaque paper, finished with brilliant gilt edges that protect the delicate pages and give the book a touch of class. There are colorful head- and tail-bands, and a ribbon marker to keep the reader''s place. This lovely Bible is bound in tan imitation leather, with a two-tone effect reminiscent of the distinctive pattern of ostrich leather bindings. This particular Bible is not for sale in the EU.
