About this ebook
Remember as a kid how fun it was to read a book in which you could choose your own adventure? The paths were endless; every page offered a new discovery. While the Bible is one unchanging story comprised of many smaller stories, it doesn't mean you have to read it the same way every time. Often it's hard to know where to start: which path is best for me? The NIV Pathways Bible offers you multiple ways to enter into God's Word.
Maybe you want to spend 30 days getting to better know Jesus. Or maybe you want to read the more obscure parts of the Bible—the not-so-famous stories. There are 20 of them provided for you. Have you ever thought about reading through the entire Bible in a year? A reading plan for doing so is in this Bible too. And if that seems too intimidating, try the 60-day overview of the Bible. The NIV Pathways Bible has so many options that you'll find fresh new ways to enter into God's Word . . . so that his Word can enter into you.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm an atheist but I respect everyone's beliefs (as long as they respect mine!), and I'm reading the Bible for the first time in an attempt to understand others' perspectives better. It really is fascinating and is an incredibly valuable historical and anthropological resource. I'm only up to Deuteronomy, but I'm very much enjoying the read already--though I do find myself skipping over the census parts and the stuff about how many cubits the tabernacle has to be. :) I think this will be an extremely educational read and I'm glad I decided to try it. I'd recommend it to anyone regardless of their spiritual inclinations.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very difficult task tackling The Bible, since The Bible is, after all, not a book but an anthology housing 66 books written by dozens of different authors on different continents across thousands of years. Billions of people of at least three major world religions consider The Bible, or, at least portions of The Bible, divinely inspired: Muslims, Jews, and Christians.The leather bound copy I own, a Christmas present from my parents, circa 1980, has my name on the cover inscribed in gilded lettering. I used to read it every day. In fact, I had entire chapters of it (mostly in the Psalms and Gospels, memorized). I'm surprised, picking it up again, after so many years, how good it is. Proverbs for instance, contains some of the finest Wisdom (common sense) Literature, ever written. Check out chapter 6, verse 30: "Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving,". Makes sense to me! And that verse, even though it mentions only "men," applies to women too. You think maybe the French magistrates in Les Misearables could've had that verse handy when they arrested Jean Valjean for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's (a widow) starving children, maybe? Of course Victor Hugo knew that verse too, and was commenting on his culture's abuse of the very tenets those in power claimed to live by. One of my favorite verses from The Bible, taken from the Hebrew (Torah or "Old") Testament, is Ezekiel, chap. 23, verse 20. It's about the "Two Adulterous Sisters" who, of course, symbolize the rebellious, backslidden nation of Israel. "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." That's some solid sensuous imagery, eh? And it's not even from The Song of Solomon! mind you, the "honeymoon" book of The Bible. I always enjoyed reciting this verse (I had to memorize Bible verses for Sunday school in order to win cool prizes like Vanilla Wafers) and also for my Boys Brigade meetings (now called "AWANA"). Funny how my Sunday school teachers and Boys Brigade leaders didn't much appreciate my memorizing that verse, though my snickering peers seemed to appreciate it mightily! Once, one of my volunteer teachers suggested I pick another verse to recite for the class. And I said, "Well what about 2 Timothy 3:16 and 17?"And she said, "What about it?"I replied, "it proves that Ezekiel chap. 23, v. 20, is a valid verse for me to recite.""No it doesn't," she said."Oh yes it does," I confidently retorted (I think I was 12), and recited her the verses from memory, 2 Timothy 3: 16, 17 "'All Scripture," I said with my own emphasis on the "All," "Is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God [and that means woman too] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.'"She hemmed-and-hawed, not sure it seemed, in retrospect, how to handle this precocious geekwad twerp (yours truly), while I tried sincerely (not obnoxiously) explaining inbetween her counter arguments that there must be a very valid reason indeed for Holy Scripture to compare the size of a Babylonian's (i.e., an "unbelievers"), uh, "unit," to the size of a donkey's "unit," shouldn't there be? And that if there wasn't a good reason that God compared the volume of "emission" from said same Babylonian's "unit" to that same volume ejected from an equine "unit" (neighhhhhhhhhhhh) then why in the world would God have ever bothered including such a verse in the Holy Bible to begin with? "All Scripture is God Breathed, right?"Sunday school teacher: "Uh, next question please." Another awesome passage, one of my favorites, which never ceases in ruffling personal and political feathers and has divided Biblical scholars and churches for centuries: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner." - 1 Timothy, chapter 2, verses 11-15. Women! Can't live with 'em; can't sin without 'em! I believe the Bible can, in fact, despite often being mislabeled by many as "boring" or "archaic," indeed be a fun, informative, infuriating (at times) and exciting read. You just gotta know where to look!

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5LIES!!!!! NOTHING BUT LIES!!!! Theres no scientific proof for a god with freaky powers. For being forgiving he seems hate everyone.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A flat, fictional work, describing the lives of neanderthals who believed they met Jesus, the supposed "sun of god." This book is full of lies, fallacies, and contradictions. The characters are flat and one-dimensional. This book also contains myriad murder, violence, and violence-based laws that have no place in a civilized society.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Awful, faithless translation and notes
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, full of life and wisdom and love - from above.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is not my favorite version, but it is nice to have such a small, pocket version for travel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5not the best translation but has a good reference section
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you're going to insult this book you ought to read it at least once. Most of its cultured detractors are so ignorant of its contents that they should sit still and learn and not talk. I love the English Standard Version, a clear, readable translation that sticks close to the manuscripts. I like the footnotes, only the most important stuff included.
