  What is the harm in a legitimate tool to further God's word to those who haven't heard the Good News?! The NIV is a respected translation of the Bible. I think you all need to get lives for your knee-jerk reactions surrounding this topic. The Good Shepherd will leave the 99 to seek out and bring home the 1 lost sheep. If this publication brings in even one new believer to the priesthood of all believers we should all rejoice for the good work done in the Kingdom!

  I agree with Online4Him. Well stated fact. Kudos also, to JasonJeffrey, Slacker and Citizen. What has the world of "Christianity" come to? It's all about money and new Bible translations!!! Sad!
  Let's get back to praying, fasting, reading our Bibles and seeking the Lord for guidance and direction.
  And by the way, Jesus said, "Freely you have recieved, freely give." What's free about "under 5.00 each" for one of these new "Bibles." And how sad that the Old Testament is left entirely out of God's Word these days.
  Shame, shame, shame!!!

  If someone finds a tool "out there somewhere" that enables them to share their faith and preach the gospel without compromising the gospel - then I'd say use it but it shouldn't replace the boldness that comes with being filled with the Holy Spirit.

  Oh, the old discussion of which translation is better... Folks, there is no one perfect translation. Sometimes the NIV translates a passage well, sometimes the NRSV does a better job. But to say that the NIV, or any other translation, is incorrect because it does not match the KJV assumes that the KJV is the absolute standard - which it is not.

  Here's the answer Jason, Christianity had no problems...until man became involved.

  Here we go again... just another addition to the already over 1000 English translations/study Bibles available which no doubt will cost the same as the entrie familys monthy income of over one billion people who have never heard the Gospel of Christ. It is distressing to think that over 4000 languages still do not have a Bible translated in their own language... it is a shame to Western Christianity. Why do we need a new evangelism Bible??? Why can't people just spend a couple of hours each day reading praying and seeking the Lord and reading their own Bibles and listening to the Lord's voice for scriptures to evangelise the lost???

  Because they Hate the truth, they will believe anything except the truth of the word of God and that is what the cross represents...

  Why do these handout bibles just feature the new testament? The ones I've seen previously were also the just new testament, plus the psalms and proverbs.
