The Surfers Bible is the ‘New Testament’, a collection of books written by different authors after Jesus’ death and resurrection (AD). We have printed the Surfers Bible in the New Living Translation (NLT), which is highly regarded as a simple, easy to follow version for modern readers. Our hope is to help you get started reading the Bible, focusing on the life of Jesus.
