[Faith-talk] A braille bible for anyone who would like it

[Doris & Chris]

English Bible translations are a pet subject of mine as you guys are 
so blessed with the many translations you have available. As a young 
adult, I began reading the Bible in English though this is not my 
native language. There were somany translations to choose from (I was 
fully sighted at the time) that I had a hard time deciding which one 
to pick. The more I read up on the subject, the more fascinated I 
became with it. *g*

While the wording of the NWT is  a bit unusual at times, I do have it 
in esword and refer it to it sometimes. It is actually quite readable 
and I find as with so many translations, if one keeps in mind when 
they were translated by who and under what circumstances, comparing 
different translations can stil be quite helpful.

I have no interst in bejoining up with the jw but their Bible can 
still be helpful. After all, jw's for a while used the American 
Standard Bible that uses the name "Jehovah" for God and was one of 
the most widely used and widely trusted translation for personal, 
public and academic use just as its successor the Revised Standard 
Version was for many years.

Pass a hug to Ms. Penny when you see her and catch a cyber one across 
the Pond from us!
