This is one of the best books I've ever gotten!

Excellent idea, enjoy!

Ne'er will ye find such a wonderful Book o Books anywhere on the Seven Seas! It will make ye a soundin' smart to yer mates an' kin. Also it'll 'elp ye find treasure in God's Word that there may 'ave been 'idden from ye fer many years. Be like a treasure map it shall brin' the Bible to life if yours 'as becomin' dusty from lack o' use. Gather yer mates around the fire, fill yer cisterns with non-alcoholic rum an' startin' drinkin' from the wise words o' the Cap'n! Kaptain Karl Bastian

AWESOME. So much fun to “see” the message from a slightly different perspective. Haven’t looked through the whole book (yet), but what I have read is great

Perfect gift for Christmas!

I had seen the PB first noted in a religion blog and knew I had to have a copy. It is an Amazon print on demand product and was ordered and delivered in under 24 hours. There are places in it where the sentence structure gets confusing, so the 2nd version of it will be much better. So is it a faithful, scholarly translation, a mockery or something in between? All readers will determine that based on their own criteria. Excellent uses for it certainly lie in beach ministry, Ren Faire chaplaincy, camp, student, and youth ministries, if for nothing more than a springboard into reading another version of the Word. It definitely draws the hearer and reader in. The Book of Jonah sounds better in the PB than any other translation!

Love it. It’s a fun way to enjoy scripture

Love it!

Love the Pirate Bible, it's hilarious! Never did get the free KJV, but didn't really need it anyway.

Wife absolutely loved the Bible as a Christmas gift.

I did not however see that the free Bible would be delivered by missionaries unfortunately and we are already set in our faith.

I enjoyed browsing through it. I also bought three more for my adult kids. They got a kick out of it, too. Maybe I can understand Isaiah better in Pirate Speak! It's always good to get a different take on the Scriptures because it makes you think.

Got this for my brother as a Christmas gift, but I can't just give it to him without reading some of it first! The rest of my family gathered around it together in endless laughter looking up our favorite verses, each slipping into the accent and briefly taking on the role of a swashbuckling seafarer.
In addition to the content, I like the physical appearance of the book itself, resembling an old book that might be sitting on an old captain's shelf, and it was actually bigger and heavier than I thought it would be, which also added to the pirate-y immersion.
Overall, very satisfied, and I'm sure my brother will get a big kick out of it.

I say this is better than expected because it’s just a different feeling reading every verse in pirate. It’s fun but also surprisingly useful as it helps contextualize some of the harder to understand passages due to the KJV’s prose.

Standing before the mast with the scurvy dogs I be sailing with be challenging on good days but when it comes time to be distributing the booty each yule, this here captain be regularly challenged. In the past, giving some sea rats the black spot was not taken too well by the crew. The Pirate Bible be the best solution to that annual yule giving. Even better than a broadside on an English merchant vessel on a calm sea it be! This here captain highly recommends the giving of the Pirate Bible. Arrrr!

I bought one to give as a silly gift for my brother's kids. I may have to go all the way and add the hat and a stuffed bird.

As far as reading, it seems like the translation is well done and it gets the main point of verses across. It's a soft cover and while a hard cover would be cool, whoever is selling this really isn't making much money on it as it is and I don't think I'd be willing to pay what it would cost for the full hard cover. So, paperback works for me. The idea is to have the kids take turns reading the KJV and the Pirate bible back and forth to make scripture reading fun for the under-ten crowd.
