Facsimile of William Tyndale's 1526 New Testament

Over the past year I have read some of the 1560 Geneva Bible facsimile and it is a great treasure. Highly recommend it, But, Tyndale's New Testament reads so smooth do to the fact that Tyndale made the words so simple and it even flows along so well that I can't put it down. Also the word of God speaks so clearly to my heart that I have recently got down on my knees and asked forgiveness for taking God and grace for granite,as well as his Word. What I mean is that even though I read it daily,I'm not allowing it to change my life daily,only going through the motions. Do you find that to be true in your life or I'm the strange one?  Part of this I believe is because Tyndale's translation a fresh translation straight from the Greek text and does not try to compete with markets or other translations. Just a pure heart wanting his people in England to know God,pure and simple. This follows my hearts desire that I to desire that all men,and women to know Jesus Christ and have a powerful relationship with him.  Please let me know what you think of this or other facsimiles.
