To all,
Please let me know what you think about these two translations.
1) Lamasa Bible (translated from George M. Lamasa). According to wikipediam “It was derived, both Old and New Testaments, from the Syriac Peshitta, the Bible used by the Assyrian Church of the East and other Syriac Christian traditions.” When you think the Christians there are giving up their lives every day for their love of Jesus Christ, far more dedicated than your average Christian here, I personally would like to see their translation and compare verses to other translations.
2) The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). This was actually found in my yard. It was as it ‘fell’ from someone’s car and bounced in to my yard from the street. It is a nice little bible, leather bond and all. It looks like it took a tumble with the leather a little beat up on one side. I never really heard of the HCSB before. But I am just a ‘novice’ so to speak. Maybe God was trying to tell me something*.
Thanks all!

Or maybe they tossed it from the window...
