A beautiful addition to the First Nations translation! I am thoroughly enjoying this and look forward to reading a new translation anytime I am reflecting on a Psalm. I appreciate the translation providing the context as to why they use certain words and the background on the reasons why. This is a beautiful translation and the vernacular is so important. I look forward to seeing more First Nations translations of the Bible!

I was introduced to the First Nations Version a few years ago, and have enjoyed it so much! I was so happy to see this Psalms and Proverbs book, and enjoyed reading some of my favorite Psalms through a new lens. I highly recommend this version and think it's a great way for anyone to read scirpture in a way that can bring new things to light!

I was so excited to see that I can add this to my First Nations New Testament. The translation is beautiful and thought provoking, and I’m delighted it exists. I can’t wait to get a paper copy.

Terry Wildman is the Chief of Rain Ministries as well as a musical artist who has been nominated for several Grammy Awards. As the project manager of the First Nations Version Translation Council, he (and his team) have brought the Native American's love of storytelling to the Scriptures. This particular portion of Scripture, "First Nations Version Psalms and Proverbs: An Indigenous Bible Translation", brings to life some of the most well-known Bible passages. Take Proverbs 3:5-6 for example: "From the strength of your heart, put all your trust in Grandfather, and do not hold yourself up with weak human thinking. As you walk the road of life, make every step a prayer. Grandfather will then make your eyes straight and your paths safe."
I found it very interesting to read another translation of some of my favorite Bible verses, and think it's wonderful that there is now a Native American version of Scripture! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Before I begin, I want to thank the NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC copy!
I fell in love with the New Testament First Nations Version after reading last year at the recommendation of several friends at my church. This translation brings such an important perspective that often gets missed in American culture. The scholarship involved in bringing this translation to life really shows. I cannot wait for a full bible translation!
