When we first saw this translation of the Bible we were amazed to find that there was finally a translation out there that understood Hebraic thought. The words of this translation bring the text to life unlike any other translation we have seen.

I just received the Ancient Roots Translinear Bible and srarted reading some key chapters; and I have to say it reads very well, its very poetic. I love the Idea of striving for 100% accuracy to the original languages. I LOVE, ABSOLULTY Love that you are using Yahweh instead of LORD. I hope they use Yashua (sp) instead of Jesus in the New testament as well.

I also notice in some cases they are putting the Hebrew Names, such as Adam, and than listing the English meaning (Human) in parentheses, this is a great idea.

Now this is not done in Gen chapter 5, but if it were we might see this. ADAM (Human) SETH (established) Enosh (Mortal) Kenan (sorrow) Mahalalel (the blessed God) Jared (coming or shall come down) Enoch (Teacher or teaching) Methuselah (his death shall bring) lamech (despairing) Noah (rest). {Human established Mortal sorrow, the blessed God, shall come down teaching, his death shall bring (the) despairing rest}. I would love to see this putting the English meaning in parentheses throughout the whole text.

I like the cover and also the text in the ARTB, I need reading glasses and I am putting off getting them, and I have to say the print hear is very clear and dark and is easy to read.

So far so good, great JOB, and an excellent study tool

I know that many may be leery when any new translation of the Bible is released. The fear is always there that perhaps the translation will put forth something contrary to what the Lord is actually saying and it could lead to some confusion in our Spiritual walk. In my opinion I have to say that this is not the case with this new translation by A. Frances Werner. This is one translation that can only enhance your Spiritual understanding of God's Word. Having been in the ministry with my husband for almost 30-years I have seen many Spiritual works come and go, but I truly believe this one is here to stay.

I love to read the Word and often cross-reference to try to get a deeper revelation of a Scripture. I would want to know, where in our world was Abraham living, exactly where does certain countries and cities appear in the Word? Our author gives us those answers and more, right in the verse we are reading, no more digging out tons of reference books to find it. Not only is this helpful but this knowledge definitely brings the Word alive in your spirit.

As I sat and read through the Psalm's I was delighted. The meaning became more clear within my Spirit than I ever thought possible. I especially loved Psalm 103:1, "Bless Yahweh, my soul, and all that is in my center, bless his holy name." I had never realized the full meaning of that, but when the word 'center,' was used, a greater understanding filled me. Think about it!

To me this translation is a God-send. One more step to knowing our Heavenly Father and His Word in a clearer way.

The book is well written, the type is crisp, clear and easy to read. If you are truly looking for a translation of the Word of God that will help you in your walk, this one is for you. I can't wait to see what the New Testament holds. Very highly recommended; a must have for all those who believe and hunger for the true Word of God.
