2) It says in several places in the Bible that man is not to add or remove from the word of God. Only parentheses if only one word needs explaining, brackets too if there is more than one.ġ) It's insulting that she thinks her readers can't understand simple words/concepts like "belief" and "rest". Every four to ten verses or so, she decides that there are words and concepts that her readers need some help with, so she adds definitions in parentheses and brackets. So why only three stars? For a Bible?!? The parentheses and brackets the author inserts into the Scripture. I LOVE the Bible, love Joyce Meyer's work and I especially love her Battlefield of the Mind. My thanks to NetGalley and FaithWords/Center Street for an eARC copy of this book to read and review. I do appreciate the publisher for taking the time to contact me to correct my assumption about who input the insertions into the Word. It changes my slightly negative below view of the author, but I am assuming that that translation is what the author has chosen for her works, so my three star rating does stand. I apparently do not like that translation of the Bible. Hachette Book Group has sold over 30 million copies of Joyce Meyer's books.Ī publisher representative contacted me to let me know they reached out to the editor and confirmed that the inserts in the Scripture are from the version of the Bible being used, The Amplified Bible translation, and not added by the author.
