I think it can be great as another tool, but I wouldn't want to read it as my only Bible version. It is a paraphrase, not a translation. I think the New Living Translation is a good compromise--it is easy to understand, but it's still a translation. I tend to read many versions when I'm studying a passage (NLT, NIV, NASB, ESV...), but read the NLT for daily reading.
