Thank you for the ARC.

There is a lot of history that we do not know of. This is a beautiful translation for the First Nation people in North America. Canada as well. Calling God, "Grandfather" is a beautiful touch. Brother Kindness, Sister Faithfulness, the words just flow. The first part deals with the five books of Psalms. The second part deals with the book of Proverbs. Shared by Grandfather and Grandmother Wisdom. Enjoy this book, as I did.

i absolutely love this translation. reading it side by side my usual one gives me a deeper understanding of the verses, and a greater mental picture. it feels so simple and straightforward, yet deep and heartfelt. i’d definitely recommend!

Great contextualization and translation of these Old Testament writings

(I received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review)

I have used the First Nations version of the New Testament and I am so thrilled that this group has also created this version of Psalms and Proverbs, I found the translations very fresh and moving. It felt like a new way to hear the psalms and I really appreciate that.
I will highly recommend this version to readers who want a new way to hear the words of scripture.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

I love this First Nations version of Psalms and Proverbs. I find it a great complement to other versions of the Bible. This version gives nuance and insight to verses that are not seen in other translations. I received an Advanced Reader copy via NetGalley and I look forward to receiving the copy that I will be pre-ordering.

I loved this version of the psalms and proverbs. The language which evokes the language of the indigenous people of North America was lovely and the way these beautiful and rich oral traditions were able to come through in the words of scripture was so fantastic. I immediately ordered the New testament in the same "translation" and it is even better in my opinion. I hope that in the next few years the rest of the bible will be released in this translation and it will help churches to engage better with the indigenous people the live with.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions are my own.

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!
