i learned many scriptures and did many a bible study with the NIV it was the
only version i could get in braille for many years, i now have a nkjv and
enjoy it but have also used the nasv and the rsv for study, many folks, good
Christian folks as far as i know like all kinds of versions, i thinkit again
is a personal preference and we should not judge others for the version they
use, i find the idea that one version is the only one to use part of the
legalism that some folks love and push, thanks for the information in this
email
