Bible

[JustMeAC]

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for any easy to read & understand Bible.
I am new to Christianity and find myself struggling to understand the Bible I currently have.

Life application bibles are quite good. They are written in modern English and sort of combine some of the verses together to make it easier to understand. I would start with the new testament because it's a bit easier to associate with.

@JustMeAC I agree with this recommendation. It's also worth joining a Bible study group if one is available through your church.

I really like the You version Bible app because you can look up a passage and read it in different versions. My current favourite is the ESV.

Yes, I use that too. I agree that reading various versions can help with understanding.

I have been disappointed recently to get the message that Biblegateway is not currently available in the UK.

Goodness yes I saw that too @Thegreatestoftheseislove - I wonder what caused it.

Technical issues, apparently - as they are offering refunds to subscribers, I am guessing this is not a short term glitch.

@ChristmasStars Just found a work-around! 🎉 A free VPN using a US server (that sounds like I understand it 😳) -

JustmeAC I don't know if you want the whole Bible or just the New Testatment. If it is just the New Testament then I can tell you that my rector/minister at church has said the NIV is a simplistic version to read and even meets the needs of people with learning disability. It was this version.
