Wow anothe fantastic Bible! I just pick up my copy over the weekend and as soon I finish the one I'm reading start this. Something I've been looking for I am not very good in memorizing Bible Verses and I am sure that this one will help me! I pick it up at a local bookstore softcover and it was a very good deal that I couldn't pass up it was in the bargin books! and the print is nice and big..... I'd recommend it for all who want to Learn about God and I would recommend it for Handicapp people as well.... Which is that I am Handicapp.But also very active in church. And I've been on hunt for alot of years for an easier Bible to understand! found 2 good ones! This one & The Promis these 2 I recomend above all others!

My wife and I started using the NIRV in prison ministry over the past year. Since then, we have given out dozens of copies. The results are consistent: This is the most readable version of the Word we have seen.

Not only is it easy-to-read, it is reliable and true to the literal, traditional translations. I have been pleased that the inflections, subtleties, and beauty of scriptural passages has been retained. The Psalms are poetic. The Gospels are clear and direct. Paul's letters still have the passion, power and grace you expect in a Bible.

For an easily understood version in today's language, the NIRV is a great fit.

I started using this Bible for our English as a Second Language classes for adults interested in Bible Study. It really is an awesome translation and makes it easy for them to understand, without watering down God's word or being a kid's version. I highly recommend it!
