Book Description
Enjoy an "easy to read" New Testament for struggling readers, beginner readers and people with dyslexia. This is a large Bible, the size is 8.5" by 11". The font used is Dyslexie. It has a soft cover with a matt finish. There are several styles of covers to choose from. Beginner's Bible, Student Bible, Large Print Bible, Dyslexic Bible and Children's Bible Editor's note: For this "Simply the Bible" New Testament, we have used the World English Bible (WEB) as our main source, because it is in Public Domain andis a good easy-to-read translation. There were a few areas where we referred back to the more poetic, traditional wording, diverting from some of the terms found in the WEB. One example would be the use of "the army of the sky" in Acts 7:42; we preferred to use the more traditional "the host of heaven." Also, when there was an implied meaning for the use of a word within the context of a passage we took the liberty of stating what the word meant using a few words rather than just a direct single word translation of the Greek, making the text more readable. In all such cases the original languages were carefully checked to make sure that our uses of the terms were in harmony with the reputable Greek lexicons and grammar resources in both printed and digital formats. We also comparedother translations, and considered the wording of other Public Domain translations, such as the King James Version. Therefore "Simply the Bible" is not a new translation of the Scriptures. We just wanted to produce a readable New Testament, using an enhanced dyslexic font that may take some of the struggle out of reading the Scriptures, for those with dyslexia. To remove distractions, we have also removed the footnotes referencing alternate readings found in Greek New Testaments from which some other Bibles have been translated. For answers to frequently asked questions about the World English Bible,please visit WorldEnglishBible.org. The font used is Dyslexie. Learn more and download at dyslexiefont.com Dr. Dennis H.

Simply Good News
Author: Tom Wright
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 028107304X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The Gospel means good news, but what makes it news? If the message has been around for 2,000 years, what could possibly be newsworthy about it? And what makes it good? Surely not the stories we hear of damnation, violence, and an angry God. Tom Wright believes many Christians have lost sight of what the ‘good news’ of the gospel really is. In Simply Good News, he shows how a first-century audience would have received the gospel message, what the ‘good news’ means for us today and how it can transform our lives.

Simply Christian
Author: N. T. Wright
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0061920622
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Why is justice fair? Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? N. T. Wright argues that each of these questions takes us into the mystery of who God is and what he wants from us. For two thousand years Christianity has claimed to answer these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still does today. Like C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity, Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader is starting from ground zero with no predisposition to and perhaps even some negativity toward religion in general and Christianity in particular. His goal is to describe Christianity in as simple and accessible, yet hopefully attractive and exciting, a way as possible, both to say to outsides ÔYou might want to look at this further,Ö and to say to insiders ÔYou may not have quite understood this bit clearly yet.Ö

It does not describe many things that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke do describe. But it does include many things that are not in the other Gospels. John tells us much more about who Jesus was. John shows us Jesus as the Son of God - the only person who can cause us to live. John teaches us more about God's Spirit, too. At the beginning of his Gospel, John calls Jesus 'the Word'. Chapter 1 The Word became human 1 In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God. The Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 God made all things by the Word. God did not make anything without him. 4 It is the Word who causes us to live.
