I really like this version of the Bible. The context it provides and the way it combines thought-for-thought translations with word-for-word translations makes for an interesting read. The only negative thing about this Bible is the way the pages are labeled with the book and chapter that is on the page and not the chapter/verse of the first (or last) verse on the page, thus making navigation and finding specific verses more difficult. I hope they correct this in the next version.

A worthy and creative translation of both testaments. The rendering of YHWH (or LORD) as the Eternal is brilliant because it knocks us out of our tendency to anthropomorphize God. We need language like this to continuously re-imagine the unimaginable God. I'm a stickler for translating biblical poetry. The Voice falls short in this regard, but it doesn't do the harm to the poetic integrity of the Psalms like other modern translations do, even the thought-for-thought translations.
