Summary: Good Readable Word for Word Translation
Review: I actually prefer the King James because it is more referred to (more quoted and used in studies), but the New American Standard Bible is also a word for word translation, completed in 1971 by a team of over 50 evangelical scholars with doctorates in Bible languages. I sought out this version as a supplement. Sometimes I find it refreshing to read other translations of the Bible to keep my interest fresh. Other good translations also make excellent cross references.
For many perhaps the King James Version is rather hard to understand. Translated in 1611, many of its words are not used in today's modern English or have changed meaning. I feel more modern translations (New American Standard Bible, New King James, New International Version...) to be great versions especially for new readers. It is also good to research your choice of translation on how true it is to the original text (word for word?, sentence for sentence? paragraph for paragraph?) and how many were involved in the translation as to keep true to the meaning of the scripture vs. one persons point of view.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: New American Standard Bible
Review: Perfect size, nice and simple, great translation, nice concordance in the back. Accessible, convenient, overall just what I was looking for. Color is not obnoxious like I thought it might be.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A plain and simple NASB...
Review: This Bible is the new updated NASB translation. The translation is accurate, but this particular Bible has only the basics. The print is fairly cramped, and as far as extra perks go, there are a few B&W maps and a small concordance. A good economy Bible to own, but no special frills.
