A review and rumination involving the 1973 New International Version New Testament, produced in hard cover by Zondervan. #biblereview #nivbible #nostalgia
Like you, I grew up on the NIV. I think I had the 1984 update. I still love it to this day, though I have switched to NKJV for my daily reading. I grew up with this cover around the house. Floods of nostalgia. Thanks for highlighting it!
I was raised on the KJV, but as soon as I got a Living Bible for christmas around 73/74 I read that until the NKJV came out around 82. I read many translations now, but the Living Bible still holds a special place in my heart as I read that daily as teenager. The NLT took it's place these days, but I still go back. Thanks for sharing
Also nostalgic from the 80s: that shade of brown in everything from wall paneling to ash trays and Bible covers! The NIV was huge in my church too but I also haven't stuck with it.
And maybe the ubiquity of ash trays explains why everything was brown: not because the tobacco tar coated everything (which it certainly did) but because decorators just accepted that and made everything brown from the start.
I've owned one fountain pen in my life: a cheap Hero my mother bought me, which was a quite capable pen. My daughter owns it now, and still uses it, though she has collected many more expensive pens. I accompanied my daughter to the Ohio Pen Show last fall, and it was fun. But for me, I'm probably sticking with pencils. I
I'd say, at this point, I definitely still read the KJV more than any other version. And since no one is forcing me ... Must be the KJV! Runner's up: RSV, ESV, Jerusalem.

I eventually got over my youthful suspicion of The Living Bible. I mean, at least it's not The Message. (Joking! I'm joking!)

Seems like you maybe had this exact Bible and showed it on your channel. Or do I misremember?
@@ma-mo I definitely remember something like this, might have been an NKJV though. But definitely the same era and aesthetic!

...here I am, stuck in the middle with you...
On second thought, count me among the jokers.
Do you ever get into fountain pens?
