Explanation In Favor Of Books Holy Bible: New Living Translation
I grew up reading the King James Version ("KJV") of the Bible. A few years ago I laughed at modern Bible translations. "They don't even come close to the historic and poetic language of the KJV," I would argue. That was until I actually picked up the New Living Translation ("NLT") and read the whole thing. It was refreshing! I could actually understand the Bible! I especially enjoyed the NLT's thought-for-thought translation. This is important because many phrases used in Hebrew hundreds of years ago don't make sense to us today when we read their word-for-word translation. The result: I loved reading the Bible. Many books that I struggled with before, such as Isaiah, became page turners. I even found new favorite verses that I had not noticed before. While I will always look to my church leaders for guidance involving interpretation of the scriptures, the NLT is a great way to gain a greater understanding of the Bible.

Amen BrotherI do have to say, the language in this New Living Translation feels a little trying-to-hard at times. The message is the same, but in the translators attempt to be hip it comes off a bit silly in it's wording. I'd probably have preferred NIV or NAS, but it was a gift and it's still God's word and a great discipline, encouragement and reminder of His truths each day. Read it in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and again in 2010. Fantastic way to keep daily focus. Might try a different
Enjoying the NLT as a fresh, easy-to-read translation; a little bit less interpreted-for-me than The Message. Because it's a dynamic-equivalence rather than word-for-word translation, it isn't so good for detailed study of individual verses.
It's funny to think one can write a review on the Bible. To me, this is not a normal book. It keeps me grounded, reminds me to treat others well, to live a life pleasing to God, and most importantly, reminds me of how very much God loves me even when I am at my worst. This is a book that gives me peace. No matter what is going on in my life or how chaotic my world seems, I can open this book, spend some time with God, and feel totally refreshed with a calmness that is unexplainable.If you've

I finished! This is my first time reading the entire Bible! The idea of reading it intimidated me, because I worried that I wouldnt understand it. I decided that I was being a coward and that nobody fully understands it the first time. I love the daily readings format in the print book and the Audible narration. It made my year of Bible reading less daunting. If this is your first time reading the Bible, I recommend this version and suggest you do your own read-along as I did. By the way, my
