Incidentally, my husband was born in Helsinki and grew up there. He was 17 when he moved to the U.S.--a looooong time ago.
PS: He's not yet a believer but he will be
Ok... say to your hubby hyvää päivää, let's see that does he still remember any Finnish ...lol
May GBU ..

Hi, a Christian man called Jari Iivanainen (A Finn) is going to make the Bible program (websites) and he wanted to know what English Bible version is good to use in that program. The Bible program will include different subject areas with Bible verses. By that way you can find verses to subjects you are looking for.
You can familiarize Jari through his websites: http://koti.phnet.fi/elohim/harvestenglish
The Bible program will be completed about June or July 2008, and I will inform about it all of you.
Jari would appreciate your suggestion to which version is best to use that he can choose a good version to that program. I suggest to him KJV (1611), but he wanted to hear as much as possible suggestions, so thank you to you all, who will answer!
