When I was saved in 1990 i was given an NIV bible which is my main 'reading' bible. The bible i use for my daily reading and it has become familier and if you like a bit safe. however I do read others now and again and find the differences quite jaring in the sence that i am used to one use of words over another. This is good as it helps me think about what I am reading rather than just reading. The last time I did that was with the NASB which was excellent. To study with I use the new ESV study bible which has replaced the NIV study bible i used to use as my first point of reference. This has felt like the jump from o'level (or GCSE for you kids) to A level and has taken my study onto the next notch. I am not in favour of gender neutral translations as i like to read what was 'origially' put rather than have it changed for my benefit. But to each there own.....
