Quiver0f10 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 He is 19 but has the mental age of a much younger child and reads at @ a 4th grade level. His mom was thinking of a children's story bible rather than an actual bible. Any recommendations? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I would look for a nice leather NIrV. It is close to the NIV but has a reading level of about 3-4th grade. I bought a nice pink leather one for my 17dd. It looks and is a "real Bible" but she can read it herself. It is close enough for her to follow along with in church as well. I would not suggest the NIrV for any doctrinal studies but I know she won't be doing those anyway so it is a good fit. They make many of them with kiddy prints/designs/pictures but you can find them with nice leather covers that look much more adult like.

Laurie4b Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I agree. The NIrV is a good choice. It's written at a 3.0 reading level, but they have versions that don't look kid-like at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plink Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Another vote for the NIrV. I recently picked up this one for my dyslexic daughter, but for a 19 year old I'd choose something more like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
