Before the actual text of this New Testament begins, there's a clear, gospel presentation starting on the very first page after opening the cover. That is my favorite thing about this New Testament, because many NTs either don't have such a how to be saved section at all or have it in the back or have it not so clearly or accurately presented. Also, although the NASB version is not my personal favorite, it is at least a word-for-word type English version. It's not as easy to memorize as the KJV imo, and it is based on different underlying manuscripts, but it's modern English and easy to understand. Unfortunately, it is a bit too large to be pocket-sized, but just barely. Unusually, but not necessarily wrongly, the "introductions" to the individual books of the NT, are not located at the beginning of the individual books, but are at the end of the entire New Testament in a section called "Introductions to the New Testament."… (more)

Excellent for beginning students of Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic because the NASB's translation remains close to the original.

I appreciate the readability of this version, while still respecting some form of accuracy and faithfulness to the original texts. I've found I can read through various chapters in one sitting for breadth's sake, and really capture the overall meaning and direction of the portion, without stumbling over words or questioning what I just read. A definite go-to for a quiet, peaceful read in a nook before going to bed.
