While I have been constantly updating
Daily Divine Service Book to correct the typos that users have found in the first edition, it has always been my hope to eventually offer a fully reworked second edition. As you might imagine, this is a lot of work and I wanted to make sure that a full-blown second edition would really have something unique to offer. If I'm not going to be able to produce a product that is significantly different than the first edition, then I can make better use of my time.
Well, today I got an offer from Thomas Nelson publishing to allow me to use the New King James Version translation for the readings. But they are in this to make money and I don't know if the price they are asking is feasible. So, please see the poll at right to help me out with a little market research. And thanks in advance.

How about using the ESV, the Missouri Synod's translation of choice in all its current worship materials. You will pay a lot less, if anything, to Crossway, plus you won't be further lining the pockets of the world's largest producer and distributor of pornography: the Rupert Murdoch Media Empire, which now owns Thomas Nelson.
ReplyDeleteFr. McCain,
ReplyDeleteWe tried ESV first. They turned us down, alas. If you know how to put in a good word with the permissions folks, please do!
