Carole--

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, easy to read would be helpful. :o]  I'll 
check that one out.  Ebony mentioned that she likes it as well.  I'm 
also interested in the one Barbara posted.  I'm looking for a bible 
that is the most accurately translated from the original.  I'll start 
checking out different sources and see what I can find.  Thanks for 
the info.
