I use the New International Version. I feel this is an excellent
translation. In the conselors copy I have it explained
how the bible was translated. It was very impressive. 

While looking for a Bible for a friend, I talked to several Chistian
stores clerks. They mentioned that the NIV was becoming extremely
popular with bible study groups.

It is amazing the differance between the different translations.
During Bible study often the Pastor refers to different translations
to compare specific words.

You can buy a couple of soft covered Bibles for around $7.00 each.
This way you can see which one you feel more confortable with.
