I have an NIV, NLT, NASB, KJV and NKJV. I like them all pretty well. I think the easiest to read would be the NIV or the NLT.

I have NASB - the International Inductive Study Bible from Kay Arthur. My husband, who went to seminary, has definite opinions about bibles, and NASB is a literal translation, so I like that about it. I also have others - KJV, NIV, etc. When we lived in TN, I did get into a little debate with someone I taught with. She was KJV all the way. In fact, she said, "It was good enough for Jesus, so it's good enough for me." When I told her I was pretty sure Jesus didn't speak English and wasn't on earth in 1611, she didn't appreciate it too much.

Ok......I have three questions......
What Bible do you use?
And......for a struggling read, what Bible would you recommend......(an adult who reads at the middle school level).
And, for your children........what Bible do they read?
I use the NIV for preaching and teaching and NASB for Bible study.
You never want to use just one translation.
The NIV does have errors.
The KJV has many errors as well.
The NASB is the strictest translation to the Greek manuscripts.
I would suggest NOT using the KJV for study because no one speaks in that language anymore and its very hard to understand unless you are Shakespeare! LOL!!!

When I am reading the Bible just to read and hear God's word, I like the KJV. It is beautifully written and gives me a sense that I am reading something very special and sacred. When I am studying the Bible to understand God's word, I use the Illustrated Holman Christian Standard Study Bible. It is written in simple everyday English but not to the point that you feel like a child reading it and is a thought for thought translation/word for word combined. I agree with the other posts that recommend a variety of translations be used to ensure accuracy of thought.

My personal favorite is KJV. I have LOTS of Bibles and probably have at least one in most translations. After KJV, I'd have to say I like ESV next. The translation is in plainer English, but it gives a similar feeling to reading the KJV. I'd probably recommend ESV for someone reading on a Middle School level.
My church primarily uses KJV, but my Assistant Pastor frequently quotes NIV and The Message Bible in his teaching. My least favorite translation is probably the TNIV.
