I just read that Kenneth Taylor died today at 88. He is special to me because he was the translator of The Living Bible - Paraphrased (1971). It was the first Bible I ever had (my parents got it for me one Christmas). It was a great help in getting me to both understand the Bible (since it is in easy to understand and modern language) and to increase my desire to read the Scriptures. As an adult, I still use it to help shed light and insight on difficult to understand verses. In 1991 I purchased the autobiography of Ken Taylor ("My life-a guided tour"). He seems like a very kind man. I thank God for how He used this man's life. God bless you, Ken. I'm sure you're enjoying your first few hours in Heaven!
