Are mushrooms in this?
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m not sure mushrooms are in this. It has zero earthiness or creaminess to it, like other mushroom coffee I’ve had. I like it in that it’s organic and it dissolves well. The flavor of coffee is nice and strong

So far so good
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Taste good, has a nice coffee taste. I like the amount you get, I was doing those expensive mushroom coffee brands, and this one gives you more for your money. They mostly taste the same but I like this one better. Will update with other benefits

Never Thought I'd Drink Mushrooms!
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been wanting to try a mushroom coffee to see if I feel any benefits. It's only been maybe a week, week and a half, and haven't really felt any difference so far. However, one needs to give time and I'm willing to wait and see. Also, I am NOT a mushroom lover, and try to avoid them in my food. I do know they're good nutrition wise, so decided to see if I could stomach the taste. I chose this brand as it was much more cost effective than the other advertised brands, and I only use organic. The taste by itself is a bit bitter, but when cream is added as I usually do for my coffee (no sweetener for me), well, *wow*, it's absolutely delicious. Super happy with the flavor! In fact, I think about it often during the day when not drinking it! Will be buying more for sure. I bought the instant as it's so easy to pack around with me when traveling and road tripping.

Strong and Bitter flavor.
Size: 28 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This tastes like extremely bitter and strong coffee I can't taste any mushroom and it whatsoever (not sure if there is even mushroom in it) but I definitely recommend using some form of creamer, honey, or cinnamon or maybe even hot chocolate to help out with a very strong and bitter flavor. But the bag is very large and a very good price. It was delivered as promised and very quickly.

Excellent LXX
Format: Hardcover
The NETS is the single best translation of the Septuagint on the market (at least at the moment). The translation follows an ultra-literal method of translation they call "interlinear". The reason for this is that the LXX follows the same pattern and is very jarring. So, where the Hebrew and LXX agree, they translate the Hebrew text and translate it as literally as possible following the LXX at the same time. Where it disagrees, they follow the LXX. It has as a "boiler-plate" the NRSV, but it eschews many NRSV translation principles like gender-inclusive language. All gender-inclusive language except when the LXX's language is itself gender-inclusive (and this happens). The method of translation further removes it from its English parent. In the end, the only way you can know that it started as an NRSV would be to read the introduction. It really only has a few drawbacks. First, because the Bible is written for scholarly study, it is not useful for liturgical use or for private devotional use. Its language would also be too hard for the average reader because of its audience. This, however, is its stated goal. It may be a draw-back, but that's a side-effect of what it set out to do. I do not like the way they translated "pnevma theou" as "divine wind" in Genesis. It's justifiable to a point (it means "breath" and "wind" as much as it does "spirit), but everywhere else I checked they translated translated "pnevma" as "spirit". It should be consistent. The reason for this is plainly obvious: it was produced by an inter-religious committee of Christians and Jews. Since Jews are not Trinitarians, and that would be a valid understanding of the Hebrew and to a degree of the Greek, they would naturally not want anything like this. Christians, almost from the beginning, have made the connection between "Spirit of God" in Genesis and "Holy Spirit". The connection is further exasperated in English, because "spirit" for us does not have the same range of meaning as it does in Greek or Hebrew. So, the only fault I can give them is that it is an inconsistent translation, not that it's an invalid one. The prefaces also almost invariably favor the theory that the LXX is a translation with liberties over that it has a different parent text. Both are truly present, but we generally cannot tell when the LXX reading cannot be derived from repointing or re-dividing the Hebrew words (at that time, they had not yet pointed the text or put spaces in it, and so there were more ways to interpret the consonants than in its current form). Again, however, they do not say anything that is invalid regarding the relation of the LXX and its parent text. I simply divide the text differently than they do and so do not always like the introductions' emphasis. Going back to its strengths, its production standards were exceptional. The binding is excellent, the font is excellent, and it has generous margins. It even does this by being as cheap as the "cheap" Bibles. Short of going back to rag paper, this is about as good as I would normally expect. Overall, if you have good reading skills, I would reccomend this translation hands-down over any other English translation.
