My main physical copy is NLT. I also have an eBook version on my nook for leaving behind comments, which is AKJV. Further, I use the Bible Gateway app, which provides tonsod translations and more (which I generally also use to keep track of favorite verses). I doubt a review of its contents is necessary from me or anyone else. However, I’ve never read it strictly from beginning to end, but more piecemeal. ( )

What can I say? There is so much of value in the collected works we know of as "The Bible," meaning simply, "The Book." I can always find something good to read in it.The New Living Translation (Second Edition) is currently my favorite translation for reading, and I carry this particular edition with me almost everywhere I go. I am perpetually reading Paul, the Gospel accounts of Jesus, and something from Old Testament historical or prophetic literature. ( )

An excellent modern translation that I refer to almost daily!
