The Truthful Bible
Question
Hi
I once contacted a rabbi who recommended that I should buy my Bible from Artscroll. But in that Bible it is written that I should love G*d with all my resources (meaning money), and I think that it should not be so.. Christian Bible says “with all your spirit”… What Bible I should buy and where, or why one should love G*d with all his resources?
Best Wishes

The ArtScroll Bible is excellent. It has a contemporary translation and an incredible selection of footnotes taken from the commentaries.
The ArtScroll translation is the correct one. The Oral Torah teaches that God is commanding us to be prepared to serve Him with all of our physical resources.
