For a reader's GNT, I'd go with the UBS4 reader's edition. It's about $45 or
so, but its font is more legible than either of Zondervan's versions, the
definitions are in columns versus Zondervan's disorganized list, and it
parses hard verbs, which makes casual reading or reading along at church
(presuming you're not the pastor or teacher...haha) without the benefit of a
standalone parsing aide much easier.
