Or borrow Don's ESV. I use ESV and NASB and still cannot decide which one I like better. @TARA,

Windows users The e-Sword - http://e-sword.net/ Mac users http://www.macsword.com/ I use macsword, and it is great. Although, the interactive abilities of the windows "e-Sword" is a little more user friendly, which causes me to prefer the e-sword, they just don't make a Mac version of it - these two resources are NOT related (FYI).

I, too, favored the NASB - and still do to some extent. I have the older Ryrie Study Bible, NASB. It's a little different from the updated NASB, but still doesn't have the poetic language when addressing God (thou, thee, etc.), which I am thankful of. The Inductive Bible=Uber love points. I want one of these. It makes you do a lot of work if you really follow it's suggested study methods. However, I might be a little too lazy to do it right now. Never knew NKJV was considered "literal." I can use it, and I have and do sometimes, but prefer not to, just because the wording is a little odd in some places. Actually, the last church I was preaching at held it as a standard, thus I had no choice! Lol. Great post, Don. I, too, favored the NASB – and still do to some extent.

A guy who went to our church had one, I thought it was so cool. It looked and felt like a mole skin (and only cost $10 more!). They used to cost closer to $40, but now they are $24ish (if you follow the link in my article, you can find them there). @Josh I just double-checked Zondervan's site, the update is not considered literal because they "smooth out" some of the statements to make it more readable...I think I know what that means... But don't worry, no KJV for me (I do have two of them in my home...maybe three). I could barely read it. @Sister

I really like the sound of that journaling Bible, I am forever writing notes or questions on random pieces of paper and stuffing them in the pages of my Bible or writing short hand comments in my Bible. Kurt's mom has my Promise Bible, and your right about not needing all the "extras" in those types of Bibles. She really liked it and has kept it captive for over 6 months now though, so I guess it's good for some! Great post!
