I bought this for my grandmother who is 95 this month. It was perfect. Big and Bold letters, easy for her to read and not too big for her hands to handle. I am pleased and now know what to get for myself in a few years !

After much working and searching this New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs Large Print - these guys understand the importance of LARGE PRINT, it is so easy to read; I would have liked a different translation, but this works well for when my eyes get sore. Very good quality, and very readable

In response to the other review, this is the Contemporary English Version. From what I have been able to gather, it is a new translation and not a paraphrased version. It is in very modern English and is being promoted as being easy to read.

I was greatly disappointed to find that this was the "Contemporary English Version" rather than one of the standard translations. It should have been clear marked! The NT of this version may be all right for some purposes, but it does not deserve to be called a "translation" or even a "paraphrase". The NT which was written in "trade" Greek suffers much less than the Psalms which were written with skill and care by men who were poets. This kind of "version" is another exercise in the "dumbing down" practice so prevalent in our society.

I purchased the Large Print New Testament for my older relatives. User friendly language? I could not continue with this text. The word 'Parable' has been replaced by the word 'story'. The Stories of Jesus. The story of the lost coin, the story of ... . Even Aesop has the dignity of 'Fables'. Is the life of Jesus just a story? I suggest you try a different version of the New Testament.

What version of the Bible is this? King James New King James NIV ????????????
