There are a number of things to keep in mind when you get ready to buy your new Bible. Here are some tips.

First, decide on the version. This is the most important decision you have to make. Some versions are very literal--others just a paraphrase of the Bible. Not all Bible versions are accurate--some are outright frauds.

If you are a new Christian, I suggest getting a New International Version (NIV) Bible. This Bible is, by far, the easiest to understand--and it remains faithful to the original text. More experienced Bible readers may prefer the New King James Version (NKJV). The NKJV Bible is a more precise translation--though not quite as easy to understand. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is the most literal Bible translation. Few Christians use it as their primary study Bible. However, it is an excellent reference Bible which you can use to help determine what a particular scripture really means.

If you can afford it, I suggest buying one of each. You will benefit from reading more than one translation. You will learn your personal Bible preference(s). And you can refer to all three versions to better understand what a passage really means.

For young children, the New International Readers Version (NIrV) is recommended. It is a simplified version of the NIV (New International Version). This Bible is also appropriate for adults who want an English Bible, but have trouble with the English language.

Second, pay attention to the size of the text. The size of the text is measured in points. Don't rely on descriptions like "large print" or "giant print"--instead look for specifics like "9 point type" or "11 point text." The larger the point size, the bigger the text. Even if you have very good eyesight, I would still not buy a bible that has less than 8 point text.

Third, the Bible should include references at the end of selected verses. That is, at the end of some Bible passages, there should be listed another scripture that speaks to the same issue. This will help you in studying the Bible.

Fourth, for adults, I generally do not recommend "Study Bibles." Study Bibles contain a lot of study notes. My reason is simple: You will be reading your Bible daily for decades. Once you have read all those study notes, you probably will have little reason to read them again.

Instead of buying a "Study Bible," I recommend buying a separate Bible commentary.

Fifth, if the Bible is going to be used as a primary study Bible, I recommend buying one that has a "ribbon marker." This will make it easy for you to keep your place in the Bible.

Sixth, Some Bibles are "thumb indexed." This is desirable--though few Bibles contain this feature. Thumb indexing means that you can tell where a particular book in the Bible is located by looking at the indentations on the outside of the Bible.

Seventh, If you're going to shop online: Christianbook.com provides the best selection of Bibles--at good prices. You can compare their prices to other online retailers by copying and pasting product ISBN numbers from one website to the other.

So that's it. You have everything you need! Go ahead and get that new Bible. You'll be glad you did.

Jim Crow's Counterculture $24.95 In the late nineteenth century, black musicians in the lower Mississippi Valley began to create a new musical form that lamented Jim Crow’s social, legal and economic restrictions---the blues. In Jim Crow’s Counterculture, R. A. Lawson offers a cultural history of blues musicians in the segregation era, explaining how by both accommodating and resisting Jim Crow life, blues musicians created a counterculture to incubate and nurture ideas of black individuality and citizenship. These individuals, Lawson shows, collectively demonstrate the African-American struggle during early twentieth century. Derived from the music of the black working class and popularized by commercially successful songwriter W. C. Handy, early blues provided a counterpoint to white supremacy by focusing on an anti-work ethic that promoted a culture of individual escapism---even hedonism---and by celebrating the very culture of sex, drugs, and violence that whites feared. According to Lawson, blues musicians such as Charley Patton and Muddy Waters drew on traditions of southern black music, including call and response lyricism, but they didn’t merely sing of a folk past. Instead, musicians saw blues as a way out of economic subservience. Lawson chronicles the major historical developments that changed the Jim Crow South and thus the attitudes of the working-class blacks who labored in that society. The Great Migration, the Great Depression and New Deal, and two World Wars, he explains, shaped a new consciousness among southern blacks as they moved north, fought overseas, and gained better-paid employment. The “me”-centered mentality of the early blues musicians increasingly became “we”-centered as these musicians sought to enter mainstream American life by promoting hard work and patriotism. Originally drawing the attention of only a few folklorists and music promoters, popular black musicians in the 1940s such as Huddie Ledbetter and Big Bill Broonzy played music that increasingly reached across racial lines, and in the process gained what segregationists had attempted to deny them: the identity of American citizenship.By uncovering the stories of artists who expressed much in their music but left little record in traditional historical sources, Jim Crow’s Counterculture offers a fresh perspective on the historical experiences of black Americans and provides a new understanding of the blues: a shared music that offered a message of personal freedom to repressed citizens.

Jim Thorpe, Original All-American $5.42 Jim Thorpe was one of the greatest athletes who ever lived. He played professional football, Major League Baseball, and won Olympic gold medals in track & field. But his life wasn't an easy one. Born on the Sac and Fox Reservation in 1887, he encountered much family tragedy, and was sent as a young boy to various Indian boarding schools--strict, cold institutions that didn't allow their students to hold on to their Native American languages and traditions. Jim ran away from school many times, until he found his calling at Pennsylvania's Carlisle Indian School. There, the now-legendary coach Pop Warner recognized Jim's athletic excellence and welcomed him onto the football and track teams. Focusing on Jim Thorpe's years at Carlisle, this book brings his early athletic career--and especially his college football days--to life, while also dispelling some myths about him and movingly depicting the Native American experience at the turn of the twentieth century. This is a book for history buffs as well as sports fans--an illuminating and lively read about a truly great American.

Rimbaud and Jim Morrison-PB $6.15 "The poet makes himself into a visionary by a long derangement of all the senses."--Rimbaud In 1968 Jim Morrison, founder and lead singer of the rock band the Doors, wrote to Wallace Fowlie, a scholar of French literature and a professor at Duke University. Morrison thanked Fowlie for producing an English translation of the complete poems of Rimbaud. He needed the translation, he said, because, "I don't read French that easily. . . . I am a rock singer and your book travels around with me." Fourteen years later, when Fowlie first heard the music of the Doors, he recognized the influence of Rimbaud in Morrison's lyrics. In "Rimbaud and Jim Morrison" Fowlie, a master of the form of the memoir, reconstructs the lives of the two youthful poets from a personal perspective. In their twinned stories he discovers an uncanny symmetry, a pattern far richer than the simple truth that both led lives full of adventure and both made poetry of their thirst for the liberation of the self. The result is an engaging account of the connections between an exceptional French symbolist who gave up writing poetry at the age of twenty, died young, and whose poems are still avidly read to this day, and an American rock musician whose brief career ignited an entire generation and has continued to fascinate millions around the world in the twenty years since his death in Paris. In this dual portrait, Fowlie gives us a glimpse of the affinities and resemblances between European literary traditions and American rock music and youth culture in the late twentieth century. A personal meditation on two unusual, yet emblematic, cultural figures, this book also stands as a summary of a noted scholar's lifelong reflections on creative artists.

Heaven Overland by Murphy, Jim [Paperback] $20.44 While some singularity or egotism may be unavoidable in poetry, not every poet chooses, as Jim Murphy does, to temper subjectivity with sensitivity to the world around him. Murphys choiceor his compulsionto attend to his community, its geographies and histories, is a gift to all readers: this poetry concerns us as much as anything else. Over the last fifty years, Americans most visible poetry has been a poetry of ego and personality, in which the writers self serves as a primary subjectso much so the most readers seem to expect every poem to be a confession or autobiography. But the poetry of communityof environment, of city, of nationthe poetry of concern has also abided, albeit less visibly, as a counterpoise. Heaven Overland draws from both traditions. As it turns outward, this collection extends the ethical tradition, and as it turns inward, marries the subjective to the receptive, recalling Whitmans work more perfectly. This is to say that this book is important, that its commitments and accomplishments are rare and always to be kept in mind.
