Bible Recommendations

BIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS​

In choosing a Bible translation, there are many things to consider.  You can find some helpful articles below to help you make your choice.  In Student Ministries, we typically use NLT translation in teaching as we find it to be easier for students to understand than such translations as NASB or NKJV.
