The Bible in EASY ENGLISH

Do you speak English, but find that the vocabulary in most Bible translations is still a bit difficult.  Perhaps the Easy English Bible would be helpful to you.   This particular Bible limits its vocabulary, so that a person who knows English, but does not have a large vocabulary, can read it easily.

Many of you are acquainted with the Wycliffe Translators: Easy English Bible is an offshoot of that work.

On the Easy English website, there is an Easy English Bible, as mentioned above.  However, there are also Bible studies and commentaries written in that same Easy English.

Not only English learners, but English native speakers might benefit from Easy English:  children, for example, or those who have only recently become literate, might enjoy the Easy English texts.

If you think Easy English would be helpful to you, or to someone you know, the link is here:

Bible Stories Alive: Mrs. G

There is a website that might interest you:  it is a loved resource for Bible stories narrated by the late Katy Anna Griffiths, known on her broadcasts as "Mrs. G."  The "G" designation does not come from her surname, but, as it happens, from the category "General Audience" to whom the narrations are directed.
It is only within the past week and one-half that Mrs. Griffiths went to be with her Lord, so, in addition to  a link for the website, I shall provide a link to her obituary notice.  If, therefore, you have not met her in person, or, if you have not heard of her before, you will have some small acquaintance with her through her own personal story.

Life Story of Mrs. Griffiths

As you will have noticed, the Bible stories are narrated and are available as CD, MP3, book and on radio, to many provinces of Canada, to many states of the USA, and to many countries of the world, in some cases, in translation.
