Today you have what seems to be unlimited Bible editions and translations. I know I have many different Bibles including KJV, NKJV, LB, Message, NIV, NASB, RSV, ESV, and maybe a few more. That may be a problem but that is not the real problem. Companies are producing Bibles like other commodities, reaching out to specific groups as if the Bible is a self-help book. If we read the Bible as a self-help book then we fall into the consumer mentality however, if we read the Bible to understand God and then to understand ourselves we will always come away renewed in our spirits. The Bible may be a help and a comfort in a time of need but it is not about helps but about revelation. Remember who is God and who is not.
