Everyday with Jesus Bible (HCSB)

[CoJoJax]

Just wanted to give a friendly heads-up to an awesome deal @ Lifeway.

I've started to really warm up to the HCSB and Lifeway has this Everyday with Jesus Bible in the HCSB translation for $5.00.

Everyday it covers a few verses.. has a prayer for the day.. and a little message.

I just thought it was a pretty awesome deal and I've enjoyed it these first 2 days of 2010.

Just thought I'd throw this out there for people who enjoy this translation!!!

Holman Christian Standard Bible...or as some like to call it, the Hard Core Southen Baptist translation...

I wasn't sure if it was that or the Harper Collins revised standard version bible. What version is the Holman Christian?

It is it's own version, the HCSB. http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/Holman-Christian-Standard-Bible-HCSB/

Not a big HCSB fan but anything that gets people into God's Word on a daily basis is all right by me.

Mexdeaf,

Why do you not like the HCSB? Just curious.

Thanks

Nothing doctrinal. Just personal preference. I read through it two years ago and it didn't 'light my fire' so to speak. I am more of an ESV fan and use the NIRV when I want something more colloquial.

Good Mexdeaf!

If it doesn't include every verse of Scripture, should it have "Bible" as the title?

Wouldn't that apply to a NT with Psalms as well? What else should it be called?

"Bible" simply means book.

NTs I have state "New Testament" on the cover, not "Bible".

This item sounds like a devotional book. Should Daily Bread change their name to Daily Bible?

 

[franklinmonroe]

"Bible" simply means book.

That may have been part of the 'textbook' definition but "bible" connotates in today's vernacular that the work is a nearly comprehensive and authoritative treatment of a subject (for example, The Macintosh Bible on the popular Apple computers). The word "bible" is getting tossed about too freely, I think.

...so the NT with Psalms is not the Bible?
