I was first exposed to the Good News Bible about 11 years ago. At the time, I was not a believer. I was simply a young guy living life. I had Bibles; (four were the Authorised Version, one NIV, and one Living Bible) but to me, the Bible was just one more interesting book on the shelf to read. That was until a family trip I took in late 1993. During the trip, I stayed at a family member’s house. At that house they had a box of Good News Bibles. They gave me one to read during my stay. Reading the GNB made me realise that the Bible was a special book and not just one more book on the shelf. Because of the GNB, I started to read the Bible more. A year later, I became a Christian. The Christmas after my salvation, I got a copy of the GNB. To this day, I value and cherish the GNB.
