"because I trust that God will work upon thier hearts and work through the scripture despite the watering down"

While I admire your optimism I doubt that the Holy Spirit will be present to help with that task since it is NOT god's word. This Bible is an abortion of God's word and people who seek out this version clearly have an axr to grind. In this book they will find satisfaction for that as well as justification for their troubled outlook.

Ooops, pardon my error. I meant God's word. Flying fingers forgot to upper case the one and only Judeo Christian God.
