Hello Everyone!
A life long anti-trinitarian. On October 17, 2018 my beautiful wife lovingly sat down next to me - consistent with 1 Peter 3:1-2 - and humbly said, "I think it is time for you to read this." She handed me A Little Devotional Bible. It is beautiful, breaking up each day with an OT, Psalm, Proverb and NT reading along with a modern application story of one of the principles covered in the first 4 sections.
After a couple of weeks I realized that any translation with 'James' in the title was not for me. So, I intensely compared various translations for the rest of the year and settled on CEV & NLT. I arbitrarily read OT & Psalms in the CEV & Proverbs & NT in NLT beginning in January 2019. So, technically I finished reading the Bible at the end of that year - 1/2 of one translation and 1/2 of the other.
In January 2020, I switched. So, on December 31, 2020, I finished reading 2 entire translations of the Bible. I can say that in the first month of reading God's word it changed me. Ironically, the single verse that was most convicting was in none of the above mentioned translations. I look forward to many interesting discussions. Shalom.
Don’t let even one rotten word seep out of your mouths. Instead, offer only fresh words that build others up when they need it most. That way your good words will communicate grace to those who hear them.

I always loved psalms, but any of the historical accounts were more my speed; especially the conquest of Cannan.
