I’ve always been big on literal translations for the bible, and the research I had done way back when (27yrs ago) said that the New American Standard was about the most literal in translations.
When it comes to scripture memory, I prefer the New King James version, similar to the King James, I love the wording.
Well recently I decided to splurge on ME, something I had not done for a very long time. So while out surfing the web across the Family Christian Store website, I came across a very feminine covered women’s study bible in the NKJV and decided it was time for a new bible. They use this version at church too so that helps, and it is pretty close to literal as well. I only ordered it on Monday so I really did not expect to see it so soon, but there it was on the porch from the UPS man when I arrived home from work today. I am SO excited!!!! It seems to be a great study bible, with a lot of study tools specifically for women. My sister was quite pleased that I took time to Google for a coupon code and saved $17 on the purchase as well, ever the thrift queen that she is!
I’m looking forward to more time in the Word again tonight as I continue with “Psalm 51; The Way Back To God”, which already with one chapter has me craving more and more of God’s Word and learning about the forgiveness and restoration I can claim as mine in Christ.
One more way to motivate myself to memorize Psalm 103 and 51.
To God Be the Glory….God has anwered my prayers…and He has drawn you to himelf. I will continue to pray for your transformation. 🙂
love,Lisa T.
