About the CSB translation
I personally (and theologically) prefer to study the English Standard Version (ESV) Bible, but I am not closed to reading other translations except NIV – I will spare you the reasoning, but that’s my exception. This is my first CSB translation (edited from the former Holman Christian Standard Bible) and I have not found any discrepancies that would keep me from reading or letting my kids read it.
The CSB website says:
The Christian Standard Bible presents the truth of God’s Word with accuracy and clarity for today’s readers, equipping them for lifelong discipleship. It’s a Bible you can teach from with confidence and a Bible you can share with your neighbor hearing God’s Word for the very first time.
Please check out CSBible.org for more information about the translation.
Final thoughts, purchase information, and giveaway
Overall the Life Counsel Bible is a great tool to help yourself and others through times of uncertainty. I probably won’t use this as a study Bible, but it will definitely remain on my shelf to reference the topical articles.
