For those of you who have asked, you can find more information about the English Bible translations at this good site. Read the FAQ's. The books available at this site are very good, and not too deep for someone like me to understand.

The Bible This book is the inspired, infallible Word of God. The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, its prophecies are accurate, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains Light to direct you, Food to support you, and Comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s Map, the pilgrim’s Staff, the pilot’s Compass, the soldier’s Sword, and the Christian’s Charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. CHRIST IS ITS GRAND SUBJECT, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a Mine of Wealth, a Paradise of Glory, and a River of Pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the Judgment, and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.
“For ever, O Lord,
Thy Word is settled in Heaven.”
Psalm 119:89

My hope is that maybe one person reading my posts will be led to love the Lord Jesus, to love his word, and to have a zeal for that which is right.>>
I just wanted you to know that there are some of us who do appreciate what you post. I am currently going through a transition myself where the Lord is teaching me HIS ways. HE is showing me there is only ONE way. YES, HE can reach us at whatever pointe we are in, but it is not meant for us to stay there.
Thank you so much for allowing our Lord to use you as a tool to reach those of us who do not wish to stay where they are at spiritually, but have a zeal and a hunger to learn more of HIS ways and change daily to the women of God HE created us to be. With a Purpose and a Vision for His way everlasting.
May our Lord Bless you with all the desires of your heart.
In Christ,
JEN
