Query: Before buying this book...

This book is simply written, true. But then, so are most children's book.If you are a serious student of the Bible, this probably is not the best translation for you.Interesting to note that while Mr. Lumpkin has written/translated many so-called Christian books, he has also authored some very dark literature, e.g., "Sex before Murder" and others. Personally, I would not trust anything he writes that has to do with Judeo-Christianity.
