Incidentally, why do you use the Great Bible for all your quotes? It's a fairly obscure, archaic translation. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

I use the Geneva Bible because it is our Reformed & Protestant Bible. I love the language. And, it is very plain in meaning and didn't apologize by the translation with the abundance of Calvinistic verses. Many people don't like the Geneva Bible because it is too Calvinistic.

And, in my daily devotionals this year, I have put up my cherished NJK translation (I've flat worn the thing out and it is falling apart) and am reading from the Geneva Bible.

Also, in my special project I'm actually building my own Geneva Bible, which I will have bound after it is complete.

P.S. Thanks for calling it the "Great" Bible.
