Lowest Price in Five Years or More--the Amplified Bible. Now 99 Cents (90% Off)!

This ebook Bible has been marked down before. Many times before. Many times before recently. But the lowest price that it has been, going back to January 2011, was $3.99, according to ereaderiq.com. It's 99 cents now, a super 90% off of the digital list price.

The main thing about the AMP that makes it special is its giving inline within the text "additional phases of meaning included in the original word, phrase, or clause of the original language" for a key word, phrase, or clause. There is an excellent elaboration on this, and an example, in the Preface (view-able in Amazon's preview).

People seem to love this Bible--it's got a 4.6 star rating at Amazon.

Although I didn't see it mentioned anywhere on the title page, it is mentioned later on in the book that this is the 1987, "Expanded" edition.

If my source is correct, the sale price of 99 cents on this ebook goes through April 10.

Amplified Bible. By Zondervan. Rated 4.6 stars, from 1,090 reviews at Amazon at the present moment. Print list price $19.99; digital list price $9.99; Kindle price now $0.99. Zondervan, publisher. 2018 pages. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZSIS94/.

The Bible is available as an ebook also at Christianbook (ePub, DRM Protected), for the same price, $0.99. I didn't check elsewhere.
