Review: "Perfectly Clear" - This CEV Bible is written in English, but so is the King James Version. Or is it? The KJV is written in 16th century English. Shakespeare also wrote in 16th century English and we all know that Shakespeare is difficult to interpret. Scholars spend whole careers trying to figure it out. What makes it so difficult is that we do not speak, think, or write in 16th century English. Years ago I discovered the NIV Bible, and it was fabulous because it is much easier to understand than the KJV. Only recently have I discovered the CEV and purchased this Bible. It is fantastic and so easy to read and understand, just like a regular book you'd pick up, and even better than the NIV. I really look forward to reading my CEV Bible and understanding absolutely everything written. Here's the kicker that KJV devotees miss entirely. God Himself tells us to listen to what he says in the language that we speak day to day. In Numbers 12:6–8 God tells Aaron and Mariam, Moses's brother and sister, how He communicates verbally with Moses; "He sees me face to face, and everything I say to him is perfectly clear." (NIV adds; "and not in riddles"). So, your choice; read what God says in riddles in the KJV, or read it as it is "perfectly clear" in the CEV Bible.
Review: Love this Bible - I have sent and handed out alot of these also have one of my own very easy to understand and read it brings a whole new understanding of the Bible I have cross reference to my king James and it really opens my eyes to alot that I was trying to figure out was told that by anyone I bought it for ... recommend for anyone any age who wants to understand the Bible

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More easily understandable
*by B***. on February 10, 2026*

I have purchased many bibles and lost interest in reading them and trying to understand what I was reading. This one makes it more easily understandable. There is still the repetition and the names, but that is what the bible is about. I bought the large print because I have macular degeneration, but the pages are thin and sometimes the print from the other side of the page makes it difficult to read. For the price and it being a hardcover I am satified with my purchase !
