"I remember distinctly the summer I got my first NIV – I couldn't put it down. Even though I loved the King James Version I'd been brought up with, I spent most of my summer break reading the NIV just for the fun of it because it spoke my language! But that was 24 years ago and language changes quickly in these heady postmodern days. Congratulations to the TNIV translators who have continued the tradition of the New Testament writers and Martin Luther by producing a translation of the Holy Scriptures in the normal vocabulary of everyday people. Nothing must stand in the way of getting the Word of God out to the people in a way they can understand. I'm so impressed and inspired by the tenacious work of the TNIV team to provide us with a new translation which is sensitive to our culture without losing any of the ancient heritage of God's Word."
