5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Tool for English Language Learners: NIrV Bible, May 8, 2008

This review is from: NIrV Gift and Award Bible (Paperback)

While searching for a more comprehensible version of the Bible for my adult English language learners, I found the New International Readers Version. It's very close to the NIV but uses a more limited vocabulary and sentence structure, making Scriptural concepts easier to grasp. Wonderful!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very readable and understandable, which led to a bloated amount of words, September 5, 2008

This review is from: NIrV Gift and Award Bible (Paperback)

While the NIV is quite readable already, the NIrV provides even greater readability by avoiding any difficult words and replacing them with basically definitions for the original words.

This is great for people who wish to have an easy time getting through each verse's meanings, but it's obviously not good for a word-for-word study. I personally use it in conjunction with another version like NIV, NASB, ESV, or HCSB.

This review is from: NIrV Gift and Award Bible (Paperback)

NIRV version is great for kids and adults alike. The problem with this one is the small print. NIRV version is written in language for the 2nd-4th grader to understand, but the print is too small for 8-9 year olds.
