[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

I decided to begin my year of daily Bible reading with a new version and I was pleasantly surprised that this version is NOT a paraphrase as I originally thought. Instead, the American Bible Society produced a highly readable, easy English translation that compares with other word for word translations. I found myself comparing it with NKJ and NASB translations and sure enough, they are the same, but in much easier language. I admit, I still prefer memorizing from the others as I’m more of a traditionalist, but I truly enjoyed this version. I may begin 2021 reading this version again.
