The New Living Interpretation. Just know that it's not a translation and is very much an interpretation. I read old testament stories in that version, and it probably turned out okay.
The Living Translation, the predecessor, was the interpretation. The NLT is an actual full translation. It gets hate for some spots, but I'd say it gets 95% of it where folks wouldnt squak. My big thing with it is the modernization of the measurements and currency. It really helps understand in some areas.
