I still say though - if this was merely a man's thoughts, feelings and flashes of inspiration rather than a Bible translation, why does he promote it and label it as a bible? That really is wrong, because some will read it and nothing else and believe they are getting pure, unadulterated scripture, which they are not.
All he had to do was be honest about what the book is - as have the authors of countless prayer books, inspired poetry, stories akin to parables, commentaries, re-written bible stories...they all have merit, but they do not make the false claim of being scripture. For that reason I can enjoy and learn from them.
Bible=library.
The word, "bible" is not a word to be revered. "Bible" doesn't mean "scripture".
