Query: Definitely worth checking out!

First, it goes without saying this is an excellent value. It provides a great opportunity to check out this new translation.The HCSB is one of only two new translations that I like (the other being the ESV). The only thing I don't like is its tendency to be a little too conversational at times.On the other hand, the translators seem to place a high priority on accuracy (my one problem with the NIV, at times).Bottom line: get a copy of the ESV and a copy of the HCSB and you'll have two great alternatives to the NIV (for those times when you want a change of pace).
