Personal Size New International Version Bible

Description

I’m not going to tell you to read the Bible. But I am going to tell you that the Bible transformed the world, and that if you had to choose one book it is one book worth reading. (Although, I guess technically it’s more of a multi-book anthology, but I digress.) There’s way too much I could say about it, but I haven’t the space here; if you’ve been kicking around here for a bit you’ll know why I think everyone should have a Bible, even if they don’t consider themselves religious.

Perhaps you believe it’s the wildest work of fiction ever conceived, maybe you believe that it contains invaluable instructions for how to live well, or maybe you believe contains the divine revelation of the LORD GOD almighty, inspiring mankind through its many authors. Regardless of what you believe, as far as I know, everyone can appreciate larger than life stories nor does it usually hurt to consult the manual — especially if you read it closely with an open mind.

The NIV was a large-scale collaborative effort between scholars all over the world and across many different regions and languages to revisit the ancient source texts and establish a clear, contemporary understanding of the books contained therein.
