I am starting to become intensely interested in red letter Bibles. I want large print and just the red letter text by themselves. Why?
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young has given me an altogether different perspective. It is really much like a translation in that she says what Jesus is quoted as saying in the Bible but in her own words.
I might call it a colloquial translation. Instead of translating every individual word, she is translating every group of words comprising their ideas, the ideas of Jesus.
The publication numbers has made the author the number one Christian writer of all time. It is the only devotional I ever read right thru. It's secret, I believe, is that it conveys the emotional atmosphere, sort of like a spiritual atmosphere engulfing me that I am listening to Jesus Himself myself.
