YLT

Thanks be to the Lord God for a second English translation Bible with the Textus Receptus-based New Testament.Together with Mr J.P. Green's LITV, it has formed "the tripartite" for this reviewer, viz. KJV-LITV-YLT.Feedback:Has unusual binding for such a thick 'book'- looks dangerously weak.It being paperback may well limit its robustness.The font size is small, tough on the eyes truly.not withstanding the its physical form, precious 66 books to possess & read.may the authorized publisher see this review and give us a bigger font and leather bound version very soon.

the Word of GOD

When I read alone or really need to know what GOD thinks of a situation the Young's Literal is the bible I grab.The verb usage is as close to GOD speaking as I can find,and I have 30 years of study,and taught the manifestations of Holy Spirit.If the King James seems contradictory this Bible will help show you how the Word fits,that there are no contradictions just different circumstances and events that make it seem contradictory.The only weakness is the binding,I've worn out four of this edition.This is the translation to seek if you want clear insight into the Father's ways.

This book is the Best!

Not just like normal Bibles, it gives the literal words that GOD used. It sounds like the sentences are written backwards, but Young says that most translators changed the Hebrew and Greek tenses around to fit it into english grammar, so he uses the literal tenses. A normal Bible might say "Thou shalt not murder", but this one says "Thou DOST not murder", as if GOD is saying it in faith, and He is.
