Chosen for new readers
My First Bible
A shelf for first-time readers. These editions use modern, readable English, keep the page uncluttered and usually include short introductions that explain what each book is and why it was written.
Why these Bibles were chosen
Most people who give up on reading the Bible do so in the first few weeks — usually because the edition in their hands was chosen for someone else. Everything on this shelf is readable, reasonably priced and easy to carry.
