Hey Jongo, I only just discovered the @jonsjourney when you sneaked a bible review into CTPTalk (LOL) ;)...
On the question of the KJV translation versus more recent translations, there is a very good book that might be of interest. It is "who Killed The Bible?" by Ian Robinson (available on Amazon.com). It's a deep dive into translation methodology and a trenchant criticism of new translations that use "dynamic equivalence" instead of the more faithful and literal method of the KJV.
