Holy Bible - Easy-to-Read Version Paperback – January 1, 2016

I’m a 20-year-old with autism, and this ERV Bible is a life-changer. I've always struggled with reading and understanding complex texts, and the traditional King James or even some modern translations felt overwhelming. The language was often too abstract, and the sentence structures were difficult to process. But the Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) is exactly what it says it is: easy to read.The simple vocabulary and shorter sentences make a world of difference. I can finally focus on the message without getting bogged down in archaic language. It feels like someone is explaining the Bible to me in a clear and straightforward way. This has been incredibly helpful for my comprehension, and I find myself actually enjoying reading the scriptures now.One of the things I appreciate most is how the ERV handles metaphors and idioms. Instead of trying to translate them literally, it explains them in a way that makes sense in modern language. For someone who sometimes struggles with figurative language, this is a huge plus. It removes a lot of the ambiguity that I often encounter in other translations.The layout is also very user-friendly. The font is clear and easy to read, and the pages aren't cluttered. This may seem like a small detail, but for someone with sensory sensitivities, it makes a significant difference.I've been able to engage with the Bible in a way I never thought possible before. It's not just a book on a shelf anymore; it's a source of comfort and understanding. I highly recommend the ERV Bible to anyone who finds traditional translations challenging, especially those with learning differences or sensory processing sensitivities. It's truly made a positive impact on my life.

This Easy-to-Read Holy Bible is perfect for those seeking clarity and understanding. With simple language and a reader-friendly layout, it makes Scripture accessible to all ages. Ideal for new believers or anyone wanting a fresh perspective, it retains biblical truth while enhancing readability. A great choice for daily study!

This Bible is such a huge blessing to the community. This Easy Read Version is the only version available on Amazon & it has saved my life. I have purchased this book multiple times for family members & friends so they don’t miss out on this great deal. Please keep this version available. It is truly one in a million. The words could be bigger for those who can’t see well but overall it’s GREAT!

This bible so amazing and easy to read, I really recommend it 🥰

I didn't tell the seller it was a gift, but they incidentally gift-wrapped the gift in blue- the recipient's favorite color. Win! Also, the Bible was a Easy to Read Translation, had summaries of key Bible verses grouped by themes like healing, financial success, marriage, etc, and a perfect gift. The recipient is a 18-yr young woman starting a Christian faith, and needs a Bible that's easy to understand, and this was the ideal gift to get her started.Thanks for your ministry!

The Bible translation itself gets 5 STARS from me. The formatting of the Kindle book gets 3 STARS. So, I had to average it out to 4 stars. **Buy the hardcopy version if you want to find Scripture passages easily. The Kindle version WILL NOT HELP YOU DO THIS.** When I read the Kindle version, it's usually to read a large chunk of Scripture like an entire book. Not to search through it.The translation is 2nd to none in terms of accessibility to the largest number of readers. This Bible is good for anyone. Many people who critique its accuracy to the original texts may not actually have studied Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek along with ancient Eastern and Western Mediterranean culture. When you combine the language translation with the cultural translation you get an amazingly faithful translation (ERV) that is easy for most people to understand.What makes this version easy to read is the expanded nature of the language. Where the KJV or NIV expresses a verse in one sentence, the ERV expresses the same verse in two or three. This expansion is due to the usage of smaller words that may even define a term like "repentance" by saying "change your life." This makes it accessible. Whereas a person may not understand the concept of repentance upon their first read of the Bible, they can understand what it means to "change your life." That's the core message, which I consider to be a faithful translation. I usually buy this Bible in hardcopy by the case lot so that I can give it away. Usually, when people (teens mostly) talk to me after reading their ERV they say something like, "This is the first time that I've read the Bible and understood it." Translate that.
