the best version for reading the old testament

If you speak English. I'm here to set you free.  You have permission to read the Bible using the New Living Translation (NLT). I"m not kidding.  It's that clear.  Be advised, you will LEARN SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.  There's much to learn in the Bible.  Why not learn it in a version that communicates clearly?  Here's a recent video I did on the NLT if you have questions about it.

The Revelation of God to man can be known, understood and accepted when we UNDERSTAND IT!  Praise God!
