Summary: 


	I've not been exposed to very many versions of the Bible,
	but of those I have read, I prefer the Standard Revised
	Edition. While the English isn't much more up-to-date than
	most other translations, I find it VERY easy to understand
	(perhaps in a clairvoyant sense; I believe that there is more
	power to the Book than ink on paper), and my own edition a
	bit more friendly than other Bibles I have seen - for instance,
	Jesus' words aren't typecast in blaring red. I read the Bible
	privately, at home...not once in my life have I ever gone to
	church. I've only been a Christian a few years (an I'm only
	15 years old), and, having started on my own in finding God
	(actually he found me), I've discovered I can't seem to find
	a church I agree with. So my Bible is my closest tie with
	all Jesus has to teach me.
