The NLT
The New Living Translation is based on the most recent scholarship in the theory of translation. The challenge for the translators was to create a text that would make the same impact in the life of modern readers that the original text had for the original readers. In the New Living Translation, this is accomplished by translating entire thoughts (rather than just words) into natural, everyday English. The end result is a translation that is easy to read and understand and that accurately communicates the meaning of the original text.

Latest reviews of The Holy Sanctuary GoBible Read it/Hear it App app for iPhone and iPad
I jumped on this app as soon as I saw it was available. There are a few things that need attention: - The word spacing is messed up in several areas. Some words run together. There is no spacing after punctuation in several instances. Needs to be proofread. - The audio sounds a little funky, not clean and crisp as one would expect. - The interface seems incomplete visually speaking. It looks more like a beta version rather than a polished, high-quality $22 app. - It would be nice to be able to bookmark the audio in a simple way just like the actual GoBible audio Bible unit. - When attempting to clear the search field by tapping the "x", the page turns every time. Needs to be fixed. This app is a good start, but I feel like it was rushed to market. It falls short of the high standard of quality that I expect in products created by Christian people and Christian companies. I look forward to the next version!
Like the app very much except for the fact that the audio seems messed up at 1 samuel 20, just stops abruptly. Thought it was a little on the pricey side but reading/listening at the same time was a big draw for me. Overall seems worth it so far.
Im sure this app would be awesome if it would just open up!!! Update it PLEASE or DO SOMETHING because I just spent $22 for nothing!!!! Not happy:(
Its really nice. Works great. An audio jog to move back and forward in the audio instead of just jumping to the very beginning would be nice. Would be awesome if it highlighted each word as it is spoken.
The reading isnt high lighted and it doesnt scroll down the page, although it does flip to next page. Would be great if it would high light the words as we were reading it on our iPad. Nice to have it read to us, just be 10x better if it highlighted to read as being read to us. Hope GoBible will do the upgrades and increase sales. Thanks.
