There are so many options out there for you to choose from.  What color should you get?  Should you get a leather or a hardcover version?  Should youo get a NIV, NLT, NASB or what? What the heck do all of them mean???  My suggestion is to go with what YOU like.  Your bible is an expression of you, of what YOU LIKE.  A great source to find out about all the translations and such is zondervan.com  There, you can find all of the information you need regarding translation.  After you have done that, you will be happy if you check out the ebay store listed below.  You can find all the bibles that you need here, no matter what version, color, or whatever?  For goodness sake, they have METAL bibles there!  God Bless!
