Distribution NotesMike Dennis sent an email to on 15-May-2003 requesting permission.
Response on 19-May-2003 was: "CrossWire Bible Society will need to contact us, we do not work via 3rd party requests. Thank you for your support of the New Living Translation."

David Abbot sent an email and received a response on 24-Jan-2005 from Dan Balow :
Thank you for your letter David. I was not aware of the Crosswire Bible Society, but found it on the internet and it certainly looks like a worthwhile ministry.

We won't be able to grant permission to place the NLT in your software. Over a dozen software companies license the NLT and it wouldn't be fair to those Christian organizations and companies if we allow someone to offer it free. We are working on a number of projects that will offer handheld formats of the NLT for $20 or less, so cost will not be a big issue. Prices are coming down as downloaded formats replace CD's, etc.

That said, the NLT is available on the internet for free viewing at several sites (our own www.newlivingtranslation.com , at Gospelcom and others). We limit the number of sites offering the NLT and arrange partnerships with large ministries and companies.

Thanks very much for your interest. Let me know if you have further questions.
