[Faith-talk] Bible Translations

[Jeanette]

well the cds are not very friendly in my experience, i like my little 
digital Bible i got from blind mice mart but i understand there are cheaper 
ones out there, this one is around a hundred dollars and you can go frm book 
to book and from chapter to chapter but not from verse to verse. but i do 
love it
