As I mentioned in an earlier post I’ve been trying to test the value of Holy Bible: Mosaic NLT (Meditations) for a lectionary preacher or teacher. I use the weekly lectionary texts regularly for my personal devotions, attend a lectionary study group each Wednesday at noon, and also use the texts on those few occasions…
I’m quite late on this one, for which I apply the preselected excuse that I have been very busy. I first noticed the change in name and the upgrade of the software when I upgraded my Ubuntu installation from 9.04 to 9.10. Then today I found a post on Xiphos at futurebible.org, and so I…

You can find Keith regularly on the NLT Blog, or follow him on twitter, @keithwilliams. Don’t forget to look at the rules for my contest to…
Note: I am participating in a blog tour for the release of this Bible. More details on the HolyBibleMosaic.com site. I was very excited to receive a copy of The Mosaic Bible from the folks at Tyndale House, because I had great hopes for this devotional and study Bible. It’s very hard to get me…
I am excited about the release of Holy Bible: Mosaic NLT, just released by Tyndale House. What is even more exciting is that I have been looking at a copy they sent me for a few days, and I have been invited to participate in their blog tour for the release. In addition, Tyndale House…
