5.0 out of 5 stars The Holy Bible: English Version for the Deaf, November 10, 2004

If you are looking for "The Holy Bible: English Version for the Deaf" be VERY careful to see which ISBN # you are ordering. I ordered the above because I have an issue and wanted one for a friend of mine. When hers came it was TOTALLY different: in two volumes with plain white covers. They call the bible by the same name but apparently they quit printing the one voume edition with the nice maroon cover about 3 years ago. Here are the ISBN # to watch for:

One volume edition with nice maroon cover, ISBN#0801043034

Two volume edition with plain, white covers, ISBN#0801065208

Buyer beware!!!!!

This bible breaks it down and translates literal meanings of stories and parables. It is very helpful to get across the true meaning of what is being said. My wife, who is deaf, finds it very helpful in explaining concepts that the hearing take for granted. ...

We love using this Bible to memorize verses in ASL. It is easier to sign directly from the text, than trying to interpret everything in your head. My Deaf husband also uses this to compare with our regular NASB translation.

I just wanted everyone to know this book is still available from www.wbtc.com, the original translaters and publishers. It is also sold under the name "Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version."
