Publisher's Synopsis
The perfect Bible for those learning English as their second language.
Learning to read can be hard for many, but learning to read and understand a second language, especially later in life, can be a very difficult and daunting task. The NIrV Holy Bible for ESL Readers is here to help. Using shorter sentences and avoiding figures of speech and words with multiple meanings, the New International Reader's Version is ideal for those learning English. There are also several additional content features included to help anyone on their spiritual journey and exploration of the Bible.
The New International Reader's Version is based on the bestselling New International Version, written for a third-grade reading level--among the lowest reading level of any Bible translation available. Like the NIV, the NIrV achieves great accuracy through equal rigor to the original languages and today's English. The NIrV makes the Bible understandable to anyone who would benefit from easier-to-read language.
