FREE NLT BIBLE SOFTWARE
Pastorport.com, the New Living Translation's site for pastors, is still offering a free Bible CD-ROM. I ordered it a couple of months ago and I love it. As a matter of fact, I removed another Bible software program from my laptop because this freebie works better than the one I paid for.

It doesn't take much to figure out that I'm a big NLT fan. I use several translations, depending on the task. For study I use the English Standard Version (on the more literal end of the spectrum) and the NLT (on the dynamic equivalence end of the spectrum) -- along with some original language texts. By the way, the CD-ROM that comes with some of the ESV Bibles is the same program as that which is being given out for the NLT. In other words, if they are installed in the same folder (as mine are) both translations will work together -- column by column.

I also recently acquired a Roman Catholic edition of the NLT so I could have the Deuterocanonical books (a.k.a. Apocrypha) for reference. Translation was by a couple of Wheatonites -- go figure! (Perhaps this is why no RC bishop has given it his imprimatur). The Deuterocanonical books are not on the CD-ROM.
