Ducktape Bible

Great bible we teach Youth at our church and we got these for them. I teach out of one as well. New Centry is easy to read and under stand. Plus it got real Duck Tape on it so it can handle a little more then your average Bible.

nice size Bible, easy to read

I bought this Bible first from a Christian bookstore because it's lightweight. I thought it was sort of odd, but I bought it anyway. The pre-teen kids in my Sunday School class loved it and I bought several as prizes. After I gave mine away to somebody who needed one, I ended up ordering me another one because I really missed it. The New Century Version isn't a translation one should use for serious Bible study, but it's very easy to understand and good for daily devotions or for young people.

It's About the Metaphor...

With the hundreds of Bible choices available, what makes The Duct Tape Bible stand out is its appearance. Some might think having a paperback Bible wrapped in Duct Tape is nothing more than a money-making gimmick, but others might appreciate the visual metaphor that can be both a conversation starter and also a personal reminder that God's Word, even more than the ever-durable duct tape, never fails, is totally reliable, accomplishes its job, and lasts forever. Combining this visual object lesson with the readability of the thought-for-thought New Century Version (NCV) makes this a Bible especially suited for teenage boys or others who are not content to remain inside a cushy comfort zone, but are into "living it" or "keeping it real," or rolling up their sleeves and getting busy after leaving the Sunday morning pew. Though the Bible doesn't have too many extra features, not even cross-references, it does have a decent overview of the layout of the Bible and how to approach it. It also includes the "plan of salvation" (how to be right with God) and a 90-Day Overview of the Bible reading plan. Structurally, it flops right open nice and flat, the print's clear, and while it might not have the word-for-word accuracy of translations like the NASB, NKJV, KJV, or ESV, for regular reading rather than intense studying this NCV is a fine choice for a translation. The silver duct tape version speaks to me more than the camouflage version, though I can see how those heavy into spiritual warfare might choose the camouflage version.

Great gifts for men in the family

This is a great item. The duct tape cover makes it a good gift for men. It's also a very readible version of the Bible. The description says a Bible covered in duct tape. I received exactly what I ordered.

Durable Bible

This is exactly what the description says it is. "An Everyday Bible covered with Duct Tape". The title might be confusing for some but the description of the book is very clear. Very durable and great for kids who are tough on things.
