✌🏼Bibles, Bibles, Everywhere!

🎶 The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me…

Did anybody else learn that song as a kid? If so, you likely heard a lot of ye, thee, thy, and thous. I actually thought Jesus talked like that.

The Bible continues to be the best-selling book of all time, selling an estimated 100 million copies each year. There are over 3,000 versions in over 2,000 languages available. That’s a lot of choices.

What Is The Best Bible Version?

That depends on who you ask. I’m not going to try to prove that point in this post. That battle has been raging for ages. I just want to share the versions I find most useful. My hope is that you may find them useful too.
