Anyone ever heard of the Holman Christian Standard Bible? Our Sunday School cirriculum uses it as it's text and it just hit the shelves this month I think. My pastor has been excited about it for some time. I picked up a copy on Saturday and, frankly, I like it. I'll put some quotes from it here in case someone hasn't seen it before.
Quote
"You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you." John 15:16
"I pray for them. I am not praying for the world butfor those You have given Me, because they are Yours. All My things are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I have been glorified in them." John 17:9-10
"So then it does not depend on human will or effort, but on God who shows mercy." Romans 9:16
"But the natural man does not welcome what comes from God's Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to know it since it is evaluated spiritually." 1 Corinthians 2:14
