In December I started reading The Bible in 90 Days (NIV) and I am already in Judges. It has been a great experience already. I am leading a Sunday School class around it starting December 31st.

I have read from all of these except the Spanish one. What translation do you enjoy most and which are you currently reading?
I usually read the NIV but I also like the NLT.
ReplyDeleteI think The Message is a great way to read the Word too, but can't really use if for studying and such :)
Which is your personal favorite?
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love The Message (I know, it doesn't really count as a 'translation,' but it's great.)
I like The Message too ... Eugene Petersen has some cool insight into the scriptures ... paraphrasically speaking :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day they'll have The Source in Christian book stores!
ReplyDeleteNah...probably not.....
