I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time with the new NLT Waterproof Bible. This isn’t a Tyndale Bible, but of course we’re exicted whenever an NLT Bible comes out, and this one is particularly unique.  (We have an exciting lineup of Tyndale NLTs releasing this fall–watch this space for information and announcements) The Waterproof Bible [...]

I periodically get questions about how to repair an old family Bible or how to get a premium leather cover on their favorite NLT Bible. The following is a list of my favorite Bible rebinders. I find these business owners to be universally friendly and helpful. Most of them are particularly delighted that their work helps people read the Bible more. Bible rebinding is costly, but

What’s the first thing you do with a Bible after you purchase it? Look up your favorite verse? Write your name on the first page? Hit someone over the head with it? (just kidding, please don’t do this) If you want to make your Bible last a long time, the first thing you do once [...]

We’re relaunching the Hands-On Bible, which is Tyndale’s best-selling kids’ Bible.  If you’re familiar with the previously published version, this one is a bit smaller, has blue type inside, and the full-color pages inside (called tip-ins) have been completely redesigned. A bit of trivia: the Hands-On Bible was the first Bible published with the NLT second [...]

The Tyndale Español team launched the Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV) at Expolit (the largest Spanish Christian trade show) this month. The launch is the culmination of a 10-year effort and partnership between Tyndale, Unilit, and the Luis Palau Association. The goal for the NTV is identical to that of the NLT: to communicate the Scriptures to today’s readers as clearly and powerfully…

Thanks to Ray Fowler for posting a fascinating chart about the most popular highlighted Bible passages in the six top-highlighted Bible translations on Kindle (which are all also six of the top 50 highlighted books on Kindle).

Ray observes, “I found it interesting how many of these highlights focus on trusting God and not worrying.” Commenter Thomas points out, “users of NLT and ESV appear to highlight several different passages, while users of all the other translations concentrate exclusively on just a very few verses.”

The top highlighted verses were all highlighted in multiple translations, but one set of verses, Romans 8:38-39, was highlighted (relatively) often in the NLT, but not often in any of the other six. Why do you think

Right after I announced that the availability of the NLT for download in YouVersion was about to end, Tyndale and YouVersion decided to extend the offer for another 30 days to accomodate all of the new iPad owners. YouVersion has a classy HD app for the iPad and until May 5 you can download the NLT [...]

We’re happy to announce the release of a new binding of the NLT Life Application Study Bible. The design was by Tyndale designer Stephen Vosloo. It’s a personal size edition, which tends to be a popular size around graduation/Mother’s Day/Father’s day. The content inside the Bible doesn’t feature the Lord’s Prayer any more than any [...]

We were going to make the announcement soon ourselves, but Wayne Leman has  broken the news at the Better Bibles Blog.

If you are subscribed to the NLT Blog through our old RSS feed, I hope you’ll join us at our new RSS Feed. Since we’ve switched to a new blogging platform, we’re switching our RSS feed location. You’ll still be able to read new posts from the old feed for a short amount of transition time, [...]
