First sentence: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
I have come to love the New King James Version in recent years. Is it in my top three? I'm not sure. Is it in my top five? Absolutely.
The Nelson 746 has a layout and design that is almost perfectly perfectly perfect. IF ONLY it was black letter instead of red letter. IF only the red letter was darker. But the size of the Bible, the weight of the Bible, absolutely perfect. The font size worked with the size and weight. It is, of course, on the smaller size being a compact Bible. I absolutely love, love, love that it is center column reference. It is double column.
This is one of my favorite thrift-finds.
As for the Bible, I love, love, love reading the Bible. The New King James Version is a good translation choice.
