Questions people ask
What's the difference between large print and giant print?
Large print is around 10–11pt; giant print is around 14–17pt. For most readers over 70, giant print is worth the extra weight.
KJV or modern translation?
If they grew up on the KJV, stay there — the cadence is the gift. Otherwise NIV is the safest modern choice.
