~NLT Life Application Bible published by Tyndale~

My New Bible! 

A prize I won from Tyndale Publishing.

A few weeks ago I published a blog post about the New Living Translation Bible from Tyndale Publishing. I was one of the first 50 bloggers to post about the NLT version and send a link of my post to Tyndale.

I received a certificate for a free NLT Leatherlike. I needed to take my certificate to my local Christian bookstore (in my case, Lifeway).

SO... yesterday I drove 40 minutes to my nearest Lifeway bookstore to redeem my certificate for my new NLT Life Application Bible... I love the crisp new pages and smooth cover!

I have never studied out of a NLT version Bible before, I grew up using a NIV and NKJV. 

AND... I have never used a Bible published by Tyndale. I've always used Thomas Nelson Bibles, not for any particular reason, just because that was the Bible that I liked or was gifted. My favorite Bible to study out of has been The Nelson Study Bible in the NKJV, which I was gifted by my parents for my high school graduation in 1999.

BUT... since I now have a Tyndale published Bible in a new version I've never used, I will be giving my new NLT Life Application Bible a try.

I can't wait to start highlighting and leaving notes in the margins... that is my favorite part of getting a new Bible, but also the hardest part of getting a new Bible... I have notes and highlights in other Bibles that a great and have meaning, do I transfer the old notes and highlights to the new Bible or just start fresh?

Any ideas????

*My particular Bible also came with a Gold Premium ILUMINA Starter Edition software disc to download to my computer (which IS MAC compatible!)
What 'Starter Edition' means is that is a demo. Still, for free, it's worth having a demo to see if I'll like the program before investing the $50-$90 for the full version.
