And thanks for reminding me of a journal entry I made back on March 3, 2007, on Bible translations. Might be a good idea to upgrade and repost that entry for those who haven't seen it. May the Lord share much oversight in your husband's growth in the Lord. Looks like he has a good heart. According to the Lord, all it takes is a "good and honest" heart to walk the right path with Him. Blessings, Buddy Hi Jen,

Thanks for sharing a bit of your testimony. And thanks for reminding me of a journal entry I made back on March 3, 2007, on Bible translations. Might be a good idea to upgrade and repost that entry for those who haven’t seen it.

May the Lord share much oversight in your husband’s growth in the Lord. Looks like he has a good heart. According to the Lord, all it takes is a “good and honest” heart to walk the right path with Him.

Blessings,

Buddy

I recently found this information. I have been praying to find a Bible - so thank you for posting this information. I had a KJV - I was given for my 1st Communion, but I am now 26 and I cannot find it anywhere. My parents went through a divorce and even though the Bible came with me to college - and home...we moved a few times because of the divorce. I lived with my father and brother. I am married now and live in my own home, but I recently "rejoined" Christ and I am looking to build my relationship again - I would consider myself more "non-denominational," because the man I married isn't Catholic...sadly isn't really...anything, but we are working on that. I figured that we could meet in the middle and being "non-denominational" would work for him and I...and I am happy with that. What makes me entirely happy is that although my husband (wonderful man, like seriously, one in a MILLION) - wasn't really raised with a "church" or even a "faith" - is now being open-minded to work on understanding a Bible/Jesus/God..etc. Online one night - we read a prayer to help him get "saved." - as sad as that sounds - with me being "raised" in the church, and him never "knowing" the church...I am trying to help him and help myself at the same time. I thank God though that he is working through me to have a relationship with my husband, and that my husband is truly willing to "attempt" to learn more about Jesus and understand he is the the only ticket to heaven. I really thank God for my husband and more importantly, that fact that my husband is putting forth an effort, even though it is so foreign to him and...scary at times, to be honest...almost like teaching a...child, if that makes sense. This is all very new to him - and we are new in our attempts. We have yet to select a church, and I pray that he is willing to go with me. Please pray for both of us, if you could..that he finds his faith and a strong relationship with Jesus Christ soon. Long story short, I have been looking and God knows that I have been trying to figure out what Bible is best to help my husband - and get myself back on track. By what it seems - your blog was such a help - and I think I am going to go with the The New American Standard Bible. Thank you again - and God Bless - great information! Jen Hello Pastor Buddy!
