To generalize a whole lot, a translation can either render each individual word into its equivalent, or render each idea. Now, I mostly read other translations because I'm familiar with the Bible and want to get closer to the original text. It's easy to read and understand for someone who's coming to the Bible for the first time. I don't know about "most Christians," but I'll answer for myself: when I was just starting to read the Bible as a kid, I read the New Living Translation, enjoyed it, and got a whole lot out of it. That's great you're wanting to start reading the Bible! I hope you enjoy it!
