<i>GOD'S WORD</i> Translation (GW) accurately translates the meaning of the original biblical texts into clear, everyday language. Readable and reliable, GW is living, active, and life-changing. The combination of accuracy and readability makes GW ideally suited for devotional reading and in-depth study; preaching, teaching, and worship; memorization; and discipleship.<P>Most Bibles present the biblical text in one of two ways: either all text is presented in two columns (most Bibles) or all text is presented in a single column. The GW Thinline Bible presents text in the way best suited for each book of the Bible. Books that are primarily narrative are presented in two-column format that creates shorter, easier-to-read lines. Books that are primarily poetry are presented in a single-column format that beautifully presents poetry and highlights parallelism, a key element of Hebrew poetry.<P>Additional features include: <P><BR>an index to the teachings of Jesus<BR>an application index<BR>a dictionary/concordance<BR>full color maps<BR>a presentation page<BR>black-letter text<BR>a ribbon marker<BR>reading plans
