Made a watchlist and wanted to get some opinions on it.

Let me know your thoughts, what you like or don’t like about the list, what you’d change or leave the same, etc.

If it’s all good I might try and get some copies printed and consider handing them out at my church or something. I was aiming at a mix bag that gives people something that keeps them entertained over what’s flooding the tv today, gives scriptural depth to those who want to learn but have a hard time getting into the reading, and gives the kids something to enjoy between the studies of their parents- still my biggest concern is the use of Superbook as that might be too kiddy for the list I’m shooting for- if you have suggestions that are better suited then please let me know.

I’ve essentially always used a KJV, but I’m wanting something translated more recently. I go back and forth through several translations and am having a hard time settling. So for those who’ve read these I’d like to know your opinions: I’m considering the ESV, the AMP, or the NIV more than others. They all three differ a fair bit.

This will be my daily reader and study bible, my pastor uses a NIV for his sermons, I like the literal word for word the ESV offers, and the AMP seems like it would be good for deeper study.

Edit: Thank you all for your input and help 😄

Edit 2: After reading all the comments and doing some more digging- I’m still torn, though on different translations now. NKJV, ESV, and LSB. And it just so happens that parallels don’t exist of these translations without additional ones 🙃

Edit 3: Thank you fine folk your assistance 😄. After some deliberation and further research I’ve decided to get 2 bibles. I’ll be getting a NKJV and an LSB Study Bible.
