Brother Tim:

Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure about the Bible version he is advocating (I don't remember reading any Bible version comments in his book). What he is advocating is rearranging the book order back to the "original" Jewish order and the New Testament books into their proper "original(?)" order before Jerome rearranged the Vulgate into the order we have now, supposedly due to his desire to elevate Rome (e.g. Book of Romans & the other "Gentile" epistles) above the more Jewish epistles (Peter, John, James, Jude, etc.) by putting them first.

It's been a few years since I read the book, but if I remember correctly, he says that if the book order is restored, then the harmony and message woven through all of the books of the Bible is much more clearer when read, and that numerically speaking, it also attests to the perfection of God: 22 OT books+5 Gospels/Acts+22 NT books = 49 = 7x7, etc, etc.
