After I gave my Chinese/English Bible to a NEW beliver a few months ago, I needed to get me a NEW one. So, I went to the store, and they didn't have the kind that I had before. However, they had a NEW version out. It is the NEW Chinese translation for today's generation and the English Standard Version, which is relatively NEW.
I am a very happy camper!!
If you are looking for online tools or for a NEW year-long reading plan, check out this post from earlier this week.
"And he who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.' Also he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'” (Rev 21:5)
P.S. Remember what you are invited to participate in tomorrow!!
Hi Amanda,
Just wondering. What type of Bible you had before? Chinese Union/NIV? I wonder if they sell Chinese Union/NKJV in Taiwan.

Great picture for new. 2 Corin. 5:17! He specializes in new, doesn't He.
Happy New Year.

Very cool Bible, Amanda. I didn't know that they had a dual language one like that. I started reading the ESV this past year.
Happy New Year to you :) - I am sure it is already a new year for you, right?

Happy New Year!
I decided on a new Bible before Christmas. Actually used a gift certificate I received for my Christmas gift last year...(I have a tendency to really take my time at figuring out what to get) My choice was a New Living Translation which had a lot of extra commentary in it.. helps so much with the BSF of the book of Romans.

Very cool bible!! That is great that you can also read Chinese. I really need to learn another language.
What better thing to share for new than God's word? I can't think of any.
