Query: The Bible for dummies

People praise this book because its "easy to read" and because they can understand it better then a real Bible. This is hogwash people. Would you buy a dumb down version of The Lord of the Rings because you couldn't understand it how Tolkien wrote it? Would you water down Hamlet to make it easier to read? NO! This is NOT a Bible, it is one mans, yes, ONE MANS interpretation of what HE thinks the Bible means. Putting the words of God into "plain, everyday language" by changing his words in the end changes the ideas and meanings themselves, thus making this book irrelevant to any serious Christian. Sure, you can read this book for entertainment purposes and such, but for goodness sake do NOT use it for Bible study, for church, and for converting others. This is nothing more then a watered down, dummyfied version of the Bible that I for one refuse to ever use again.Re-read value; medium.
