Victor Books New Life Version®(NLV) The Simple Truth Bible - Softcover (Brown)

A Bible for a Special Purpose.

Few versions of the Bible are as unique as the New Life Version®. A simple, controlled vocabulary makes it the ideal Bible for people who are in the beginning stages of reading development. Maybe it's an elementary-aged child, an adult who has never developed his or her ability to read, or someone for whom English is a second language. Regardless of the situation, the New Life Version® makes reading and understanding God's Word a reality for many who might otherwise struggle with the most important book of all.

What Is a "Controlled Vocabulary" Bible?

The New Life Version® uses a basic vocabulary of 850 words. No difficult words are used except for proper names and places. All the difficult words are broken down into simple, meaningful, easy-to-read phrases. For example, instead of stumbling over words like "propitiation," one would find the phrase "paid for our sins with His own blood." This gives the New Life Version® the quality of a built-in dictionary.

Simple and Easy-to-Understand.

Sentences are kept short in the New Life Version® and, wherever possible, the subject precedes the predicate. Paragraphs are also kept short with headings summarizing their content. Every effort is made to simplify without violating the original truths of a particular passage.
