Can I please ask – what bible do you use or recommend? Thank you for all that you do

Hi Tania
The simple answer is as follows: I use the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition which has the extra books. The NRSV which does not have the extra book is used by Protestants.

The more complicated answer is understanding what the extra books are and why there a difference but that is a longer answer.

Hope this helps.

God bless

Bruce

I firmly believe we do need to keep trying, but, as you say, without God, we cannot do it alone, and being able to surrender to God to help turns the impossible into the possible. A sermon I was lucky enough to listen to once said (paraphrasing!) “God makes us who we are.… Read more »
