This new edition of the Bible exists to make Bible-reading more accessible to readers of all ages and abilities. This Bible is ideal for people who get easily distracted, lose focus, or become frustrated during their quiet times. It is designed to be specifically helpful for those who have dyslexia or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The Bionic reading method employed by The Clear Focus Bible allows the reader’s eyes to “skip over words and text, like a surfboard that glides on the top of a wave.” One can read the highlighted letters and grasp the entire word. The print on the page is not distracting, and the reading process becomes smoother and more meaningful. Generous line spacing and shorter, more concrete sentences help make for a smoother reading experience for people of different ability levels. This Bible has the potential to help people with learning differences connect to their faith in engaging and exciting ways. The pages are clean and uncluttered; the words are manageable so that focus is more complete and uninterrupted. Text notes occupy their own pages at the end of each book and do not impede being able to read several verses or pages at a time.
The Clear Focus Bible is available in several different editions or versions. In addition to the NIV hardcover, there are also softcover editions; NASB, NiRV (New International Reader’s Version), NiRV for Kids editions; and a digital release available for people who speak Spanish. The Clear Focus Bible would be a more accessible addition to any Bible reader’s collection of Scripture editions. (Zondervan)
