I was given this bible in 3rd grade because it has simplified wording. I was an advanced student, and I never liked it. It seemed patronizing.
The wording and grammar represented is best understood and appreciated by young readers. Starts with the exciting story of how the Holy Spirit gave the follower of Jesus the power to tell about him.
A book for all ages, the book of life, the book for which some live. A highly, highly recommended read if you haven't already read it.
Suitable for personal use, home, or worship, with reader's aids and supplements. Copy 2: J 220 ABS.
