Read what others are saying about the NIrV:

Translation is a difficult and never-ending task, but the NIrV is a significant achievement. The goal was to prepare an
accessible translation, and the translators did the job well. Here is a translation that allows people easy entrance into
hearing the Word of God.

Children (and adults) will love the NIrV. This version is accurate to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek as well as very
readable. What makes me most excited is that the NIrV will encourage many to read the Bible longer and more frequently.
I love it, and I know that my children and my grandchildren will love it as well.

The NIV Readers Version offers us a powerful combination of faithfulness to the original languages and true contemporary
language that is at once accurate, elegant, and compelling. Many translations attempt this goal; few do it well. The NIrV
eliminates technical jargon and archaic words that are rarely used today and avoids complex constructions that alienate
many readers from the scriptures. This translation reads the way we speak -- and because of this, it will speak directly to
its many readers. Again and again I found myself looking at favorite verses and admiring how this translation offers
something fresh, unexpected and inspiring. I am confident it will be used widely and treasured for many years to come.

The New International Readers Version is extremely easy to understand, and it maintained the integrity of the Biblical text,
but on a level appropriate for the desired age. I think you have hit on a winner here!

There is nothing better than introducing future generations to the Word of God in a tangible way. Biblica has brought to life
the Bible in a translation that will make it understandable for kids so they can apply it to their everyday lives. If you are
looking for a version for elementary age students then I would highly recommend the NIrV Bible for your children. Watch
your kids grow through Gods Word to be everything God has designed them to be.

I highly recommend the revised NIrV Bible to parents and church leaders. Its the perfect Bible for todays kids. Im highly
impressed with the updates that have made to help the Bible come to life for children.
