I see so many wonderful reviews of this Bible and then condeming woes. There are translations missing from this Bible that are in the King James and I have those booked marked to refer too. If a Bible gives you transformation and the fruits are there than the word is working for whomever reads it. The NLT is not sugar coated, I started in the King James Version and I had a hard time understanding when my dad sent this to me I was a little nerved up because I wanted a correct translation. This has been perfect. I am filled with the spirit walking in a new life . This Bible transformed my heart my mind and my life. Thank you
