I love 'em all! I got involved in the "version wars" some time back and discovered that it only served to make me question the reliability of them all - to the point that I wouldn't read any of them. If God can speak through a donkey, He can speak through whichever version I have on hand.
BTW - when I was leaving for the Women's Refuge, He told me to take my Living Bible with me...not a translation at all, but a paraphrase. Today that Bible reads like my journal for He used it every day to tell me what was coming up and what I needed to do to get through.
