I often will read a few passages, go back to my KJV or NIR version and compare language, it translates about the same. I am not through this book cover to cover, nor have I ever finished the Bible cover to cover, but it's very well done. Anyone interested in spirituality anyone having doubts or downright disbelief shouldn't say one word for or against God and/or the Bible without at least reading it. (as well as many other things)If you've had a difficult time wading through all the thou's and thine's and language of your old Bible, give this one a shot. You may find you can stick with it easier.
