Just what I need: another Bible! My biggest complaints in the past is our utter dependence on study Bibles. We don’t study the Bible enough! Also, I’m not a personal fan of the New Living Translation. I like it as a pastor, however. It is a great translation to give to people who have not… Read more

It’s actually a new translation called “The Voice” from Thomas Nelson. They sent me a complimentary copy for review. I admit, seeing one of the contributors (not one of the translators) had me skeptical. But I took it to my son’s swim meet tonight and read through some passages. I am pleasantly surprised!
