Did you know that the full New Living Translation is available in seven different languages and that the New Testament of the NLT is in two additional languages? These are not translations of the English version into other languages. Instead, translators and biblical scholars from the places that speak those languages use the NLT translation philosophy to translate the ancient texts into their modern-day languages.
In Germany we partner with SCM R. Brockhaus to share God’s Word through the NLB (the German NLT). Here is an update on their struggles and joys as they bring God’s Word to those who speak German.
About 25 years ago, then publisher Friedrich Hänssler was looking for a way to put a new communicative Bible translation on the German market. There was something missing for German Bible readers. There were some communicative Bible translations, but they were not well received for several reasons, like lack of fidelity to the text or having a theological bent that did not go over well with many of our readers.
Friedrich Hänssler believed the NLT could make a significant impact on readers who were looking for an accurate translation that was also enjoyable to read. He saw the NLT as the right combination of Bible translation with appropriate accuracy, while still being very communicative.
Germany has a special situation when it comes to Bible translations. With the strong dominance of the Lutheran Church on the one hand and the Catholic Church on the other, most people only know the dominant translations: the Protestant Luther translation and the Catholic Einheitsübersetzung (“Unity Translation”). They are “unbeatable” in the Bible market due to their strong church and school use.
Beyond this, however, the German NLT has gained a significant place in Bible translations. Though there are no studies or valid data about market share for German Bible translations, we estimate it to be about the fifth most used translation among 12 major translations. The German Life Application Study Bible is one of the best-selling study Bibles in Germany for the last 20 years. Our teen and kids editions are also very popular for readers.
Most churches, apart from those mentioned above, have no preferred Bible translation for congregational use. What translation is used in churches varies greatly, as does the preferred Bible translation for personal use. Many people own several Bible translations. Apart from the very conservative wing of the Russian-German congregations, who almost only use the Schlachter Bible, there are no major faith disputes about the correct Bible translation, which allows people the opportunity to experience the power of reading the German NLT.
We continue to see a very positive future for the German NLT. After almost 25 years, we are currently in the process of revising the text of the NLT to make it even more accessible to our audience and to attract new readers.

by Pastor Chad, Director of Ministry and Innovation for Hope Media Group
In a world where material wealth often dictates one’s sense of security and fulfillment, the question “Is Jesus enough?” cuts to the core of our faith journey. We must consider whether or not our pursuit of comfort and abundance overshadows our pursuit of meeting the spiritual needs of others. I am currently writing from a hotel in El Salvador (which means “the Savior”), a country that has faced significant challenges due to political unrest and economic instability, and my time here has given me a new lens of true community.
Pastor Raul leads a church in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, that focuses on reaching underprivileged youth. The fact that many of these young people were initially resistant to the idea of church yet found comfort and belonging within Pastor Raul’s community speaks volumes about the genuine care extended to those in need. That Pastor Raul is compared to being a second father to these youths shows the depth of his impact and the deep relationships developed within this church community. Despite his initial hesitation to take on the role of pastor, he found himself propelled by a divine calling to share the message of love with those who felt lost and marginalized in the San Salvadorian streets.
“We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people, which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.”
Colossians 1:3-5 NLT
The parallel drawn between Paul’s perception of the Colossian church and Pastor Raul’s ministry in El Salvador hits home. Both instances highlight the rarity and importance of genuine faith and love within Christian communities (Colossians 1:3). Genuine expressions of faith and love can indeed be rare and often overlooked today. It’s a reminder of the importance of living out our faith not just in words but also in tangible acts of love and service to others.
Paul’s emphasis on hope as the source of love in the Colossian church is deep. It suggests that genuine love for others flows from a confident expectation of the future inheritance that believers have in God. This hope isn’t merely wishful thinking; it’s a deep-seated assurance based on the promises of God. Notice the emphasis when he says, “which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven” (Colossians 1:5). A question probes the heart of the matter: Have we lost sight of our true hope? In a world often consumed by quick fixes and Amazon deliveries, it’s easy to lose sight of the eternal perspective that should shape our lives as Christians.
Amid the struggles and challenges faced by communities like those in San Salvador, the hope of Christ shines all the brighter. Stripped of the distractions and illusions of affluence, individuals are compelled to confront their deep need for the true Savior, Jesus Christ. With the absence of a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality, there’s a profound recognition of reliance on God’s grace and provision.
Paul’s closing statement in Colossians 1:5 serves as a reminder that the hope and expectation found in the gospel are not new but foundational truths that have been proclaimed since the earliest days of the church. He says, “You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.” By keeping our focus fixed on Jesus, we can navigate the challenges of life with confidence and courage, knowing that He is indeed enough for our present and our future.

We often hear people ask, “Can I read through the whole Bible in a year?” And the answer is yes! But the length of time it takes for you to read through the Bible isn’t what’s important. What really matters is that you are spending daily, consistent time in God’s Word. For some people, having a Bible with a reading plan helps them stay on track. The goal of reading through the Bible in a year might be the motivation they need to push through some of the more difficult passages. There are lots of good reasons to read through the Bible in a year, but the most important reasons are to gain a better understanding of who God is and of his relationship with us and to experience his full story of salvation. Like any great book, it’s important to read the beginning, middle, and end. You don’t want to miss out!
Think there isn’t a Bible for you? We beg to differ. We have lots of great Bibles that can help you not only stay track but also enjoy reading Scripture.
Not ready to tackle the whole Bible? That’s okay. OurOne Year Bible New Testamentstake your through the entire New Testament in a year. And the gorgeous illustrated interior will make it a delight to open every day.
The traditional daily reading format includes a passage from the Old Testament, the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs for you to read each day. It is available in English, Spanish, and large print editions.
The One Year Pray For line of Bibles uses the traditional daily reading format and includes daily prayer prompts that focus on a specific topic to help connect your Scripture reading and prayer time. Our most recent edition is The One Year Pray for the Family Bible that focuses on the needs of your family and the broader family of God. Connect with each other and God through reading and prayer next year.
The One Year Bible for Womenand The One Year Bible for Men use the traditional daily reading format and include a short devotional that connects a truth from one of the daily Scripture passages to real-life issues women or men face. These Bibles can be used for personal or couples’ devotions.
The One Year Bible Expressions adds wide margins and Scripture line art to the traditional daily reading format, allowing plenty of space for notes, art, and more as you creatively interact with the Bible and read through it in a year.
The One Year Chronological Study Bible uses the chronological reading format to create a more robust experience. The Bible text is grouped by era using the innovative 14-era framework and includes articles and charts to establish context and connection. With study notes introducing each day’s reading and discovery questions following, this Bible allows you to read, reflect on, study, and apply God’s truth as you read through his big story.
The One Year Chronological Bible Expressions adds wide margins and Scripture line art to the chronological reading format, allowing plenty of space for notes, art, and more as you creatively interact with the Bible and read through it in a year.
In addition to our family of One Year Bibles, there are a few more Bibles that include reading plans and can help you stay on track while reading through God’s Word.
Immerse: The Reading Bible splits the Bible into six volumes and is specially crafted for a distraction-free reading experience, helping you get immersed in Scripture. Chapter numbers, verse numbers, and all other modern additives have been removed. Each volume includes reading plans so you can read through an individual volume in 8 or 16 weeks. Created to be read in community, it’s a great way to read the Bible with others, such as your church, Bible study, book club, or friends.
The Daily Walk Bibleoffers a simple daily reading plan that shows how the Bible fits together. Each day’s reading includes an overview to give you a bird’s-eye view of the day’s reading, several chapters from the Bible, an interesting fact from the day’s reading, and a short devotional to help you reflect on and apply a specific insight from the day’s reading. Every seventh day offers a pause on the journey as you are invited to Look Back over the readings from the previous week, Look Up to God, and Look Ahead to the readings to come.
TheDaySpring Hope & Encouragement Bible is a beautiful wide-margin Bible that takes you deeper into God’s Word using twelve indisputable truths about who you are in Christ, such as you are known, you are blessed, and you have a reason for hope, that highlight God’s promises and devotion to his children. Devotionals and reflections connected to these truths are scattered throughout the Bible, and each truth has a unique icon to help you visually connect the dots.
Looking for a digital way to get into God’s Word? The Filament Bible app also has reading plans that you can use with your Filament-enabled Bible to read through the Bible in a year. And the Life Bible app also has a One Year Bible reading plan.
Whatever Bible you use next year, we pray you grow in your understanding of who God is and his abundant love for us.
Bible Team’s Christmas Wish Lists
Tyndale House Publishers
As we celebrate the amazing miracle of the Word becoming human, we thank God for the gift of his Word that continues to transform our hearts through Scripture.
We absolutely love being able to work on Bibles and help you find the one that’s perfect for you. And we love using them in our own lives as well! Is there anything better than opening a new Bible? That first glimpse of the cover, hearing the crack of the spine as you tenderly open it for the first time, smelling the fresh pages, and just basking in the beauty of God’s Word in your hands—it’s a glorious experience!
That is why Bibles are at the top of our Christmas wish lists. Here are our top picks. What are yours?
Sandra—I’d be thrilled to find the Chronological Life Application Study Bible under my Christmas tree this year. I’ve wanted to read the Bible in chronological order to gain a deeper understanding of how the various pieces of the Bible fit together. I love the vibrant pictures and illustrations in this full-color edition—they are visually engaging and help bring the stories to life. Plus, the Life Application study notes will help me apply the Scriptures to my everyday life, providing guidance, insight, and a deeper relationship with Christ. This Bible truly combines my desire for wanting to read the Bible chronologically with my desire for the Bible to be visually appealing and packed with incredible study notes to help me understand and apply Scripture to my life, making it the perfect gift for me this Christmas.
Mindy—This Christmas, I would love to find a Courage For Life Study Bible for Womenunder my Christmas tree. With a Bible study on every page and the rich, beautiful design, I can’t wait to dig into the lessons that bring God’s Word to life and remind us that we can live courageous, purposeful lives for Christ. In fact, I would also be excited to find a Courage For Life Study Bible for Men under the tree for my husband. We could study the Bible together as we begin the new year!
Maissie—This Christmas, I hope to receive the DaySpring Inspire Illustrating Bible. This is just the Bible I need to creatively interact with God’s Word. There is so much beautiful, new artwork that I can color or paint and plenty of space to create my own art based on what God is teaching me in Scripture. A great added bonus is the Filament Bible app! I can scan the page number with my phone and read devotionals, study notes, and articles, watch videos, or interact with maps to help me understand the Bible better. This is a beautiful Bible that I could leave for future generations.
Jeff R—My wish for this Christmas is for the new Life Bible app. I have enjoyed reading so many different Bibles as each one provides me new insights for my life no matter what I may be going through or dealing with at the time. My only challenge has been having a specific Bible ready at my fingertips to reference when I need it. With the Life Bible app, I literally could have all my Bibles (study, devotional, reference, etc.) in the palm of my hand and build my own custom daily reading plan. Not only that, I would have content from thousands of top biblical scholars to pull from and reference and could also compare different translations side-by-side to see how each of them was translated from the original Scriptures. That is my Christmas wish!
Maria—I am hoping to find Immerse: Messiah as a Christmas gift because it promises a transformative spiritual journey. This will be the perfect read for me to start the new year as we celebrate Jesus coming as a babe to all humankind. Its immersive format captivates me, allowing a deep dive into the life of Jesus and his teachings. I long to experience the Scriptures in a fresh, engaging way by reading Messiah and seeing how it will foster a profound connection with my faith during the Christmas celebration. Reading Immerse: Messiah will enrich my new year with divine wisdom and deep reflection.
Amy—I would love to find The One Year Bible New Testament under my tree this Christmas. Like other One Year Bibles, it will take me through 365 daily readings. But rather than cover the entire Bible, this will zero in on the New Testament, allowing me to read through it in about 5 minutes each day. But I will want to take more time with this beautiful New Testament, reflecting on the words and enjoying the beautifully designed pages. I love the way this Bible is put together, with lovely illustrations and plenty of journaling space to invite me to spend time with the stories of Jesus, the early church, and our calling as God’s people who are living in the “now and not yet.”
Becca—This Christmas, I would love to find The One Year Chronological Study Bible under my tree. This will be great to help me meet my goal of reading through the entire Bible next year. I’m really looking forward to the unique perspective this Bible will give me as the chronological order will help me see God’s Word as one connected story rather than just individual books or verses. And if that wasn’t enough, I know the daily introductions, questions for personal reflection, and articles on other biblical themes will further encourage my spiritual growth. I’m so excited that this Bible exists, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it will help me grow in my walk with God as I gain greater understanding of his story this next year!
Kim—I’m hoping to receive the beautiful teal Student Life Application Study Bible this year. This Bible is truly amazing, and I want to dive deep into the full-color visuals, robust study notes, infographics, and more! It’ll add so many fresh insights into my Bible reading this coming year. I can also scan the page to access Filament Bible app resources to supplement the study materials in this Bible or to listen to worship music or the audio Bible—and more. If there is a student of the Bible you’re looking to find the perfect gift for, I highly recommend this Bible.
Sibley—This Christmas, it would be so special to receive as a gift the new Santa Biblia NTV, Edición personal, letra grande [Holy Bible NTV, Personal Size Edition, Large Print] in Rose Metallic. The size of this Bible is perfect—not too big or too small—making it a great Bible to have at my bedside for nightly reading. The large print also makes it easier to read without needing to reach for my glasses. However, what really draws me to this Bible is the unique cover design. It’s modern and elegant with an abstract pattern that slightly resembles flower petals or peacock feathers, depending on how you look at it. Usually I’m more of a pink, girly girl, but I really love how this Bible is neutral with a little bit of glam. It makes me feel like this Bible will really last the test of time as fashions continue to change each year.
Callie—This Christmas, I’m asking for the new Thinline Center-Column Reference Bible, Filament-Enabled Edition with the rustic brown cover. I’ve seen the trim size of the other Thinline Reference Bibles, and I love it. For me, the font size is comfortable—not too small—and somehow it doesn’t feel bulky like study Bibles tend to be. The brown LeatherLike cover is my pick because I always gravitate toward neutrals that are timeless, and I don’t want to splurge on a Genuine Leather edition this year. I also love that it comes with the Filament Bible app, which I can use when I want to dig into something or find answers. What’s even better is that it’s already downloaded on my phone from another Filament Bible purchase, so I’m all set.
Evie—I am hoping to find the updated Hands-On Bibleunder my Christmas tree. There is nothing more precious to me than my kids and time in God’s Word. With busy schedules and conflicting priorities, I would love to have a Bible that helps us all better connect in Scripture through fun games, weird facts (my elementary kid will love that), delicious recipes, interesting cartoons, and crafts. Now that it’s in full color, we’ll love looking at it even more!

Transcript:
I am very blessed to be able to have anInspira Bible in my hands. Since I first received an Inspira Bible, I began to use it for my prayers and testimonies, and every time I write in it again, I see either my spiritual progress or where my prayer life has been abandoned. My previous testimonies written there help me have faith in where I am today. I know that in coming to read the Bible, studying it isn’t an easy thing; it’s not something we humans do naturally. It takes a lot of discipline, but the InspiraBible makes us have the intention to hold the Bible in our hands. I confess that I sometimes don’t want to read it, but I see it on my desk, and it makes me miss holding it in my hands, opening the Psalms and praying along with a Psalm. And maybe that happens with any Bible because it is the same Word of God, but to me it happens specifically with the Inspira Purple Cover Bible. Sometimes I just enjoy reading page after page without writing anything down, just letting God speak to me whatever He wants to speak to me that day. It’s more than a pretty Bible; you can feel the devotion and prayer from the team when they created it so that we could all access the Word of God.
