Always a danger sign when a religious publisher becomes purely secular, for profit.

I believe Nelson holds the copyright for the NKJV Bible.
I hope they don't follow Zondervan's example and destroy it like the NIV Bible.
Not that anyone can really destroy the Word of God, but they can assist "The Father of Lies" in deceiving people.........

Zondervan is an HC imprint, IIRC. Thomas Nelson should be okay. IMO :-)

By way of that, I have heard that a major publisher of contemporary "praise and worship" music is owned by Seagrams.

Certainly reflected in Pat Robertson’s sale of CBN, now a cesspool of godlessness masquerading as “ABC Family”. What if instead Robertson had plowed profit back into becoming a “CBN Family” cable outlet?

That sounds like a good pairing. "Turn to page 34 and let's sing together . . . Seagrams, Golden Wine Coolers . . . Seagrams . . . "
