I feel wrong for rating any part of the Bible with only 4 stars. It just feels wrong. But I'm NOT rating the Bible itself, it was just this version (NLT) of Mark, I didn't care for too much. I know I shouldn't feel that way. 🤨 I had never read the Gospel of Mark in it's entirely, in the NLT translation before. Maybe I'm just too use to the ESV and the NIV so the NLT of Mark just didn't sit well with me. I read the NLT of Matthew and even though I personally like the ESV much better, the NLT was okay. Soooooo..... I feel bad for giving this a rating of 4 because it is of the Bible, I just couldn't give it a 5. Just personal opinion.

I love how the NLT gives me a fresh set of eyes for words often-read. This time I was struck by how so much of it is clearly told from Peter’s perspective and how that influences the book. Even the fast paced nature of the writing flows from his intense and (I’m guessing here, but) naturally impatient bent.
