For reference, I count this as 66 books added to my finished total between this & last year 😃 as that's the way I approached my goodreads goal. Enough about that, though:
WOWWWW. In the last year or two, I really understood what it means to be in a covenant of love with our Maker. And since that true understanding (beforehence completely lacking, and rooted in ignorance and lies of the demonic doctrines found in the churches I grew up in, and jezebel/witchcraft lens in my family), the Holy Spirit really guided me on revelation and understanding that I've never had before!!
All the sub-books I thought I would struggle with, not understand or enjoy, I RATHER ENJOYED THE MOST!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!! The Holy Spirit lens is what makes all the difference, HE REALLY IS OUR HELPER!! Our Father LOVES and cares for us so well, and it's so clear how abundantly full of mercy He is, even in the "old" covenant.
Read the Bible through His lens, in the way He intended. Ask Him for revelation and understanding. Love & fear of Him is after all, the BEGINNING of all wisdom. Draw near to Him, and HE SHALL draw near to you. That's a promise! 🎯🔥

I love this translation, even though it doesn't have a poetical "sound" like the KJV does. It uses the real names, which is much more legitimate. Why on earth would any translator change a proper name?! I read lots of other translations, but this is the one that I turn to the most, and have it all marked up with notes and highlighting.

Replaced my KJV with this gift - adding in a few Hebrew words/names to enrich the reading experience/revelation.
