Good News Bible (Good News Translation) Paperback – January 1, 1976

Easy to understand and clear language

This is my favorite Bible I own. I’m a big fan of the GNT and I love the inclusion of the apocryphal books. It is also a nice looking book/presentation.

Easier to read/understand.

I have purchased many of these over the years - primarily for our middle school Sunday School & confirmation class kids. In general, I have found the GNT to be a great balance of readability with pretty good rendering of the text in English (absolutely not the most literal of translations, but one of the best in contemporary English). The price for these books is really incredible. Only complaint is that the text is pretty small for some people.

Convenient to carry around. Font is very easy on the eyes.👀

Awesome, just wish the size was a bigger

This Bible translation is good for beginners in the faith or for those who are new to the English language. The modern day text makes it easy to read and understand. I like the contents of this particular Bible being that it has the extra missing books that aren’t found in other regular translations. But are only available in Orthodox Christian or Catholic Bibles versions. Now this book is very small and could literally fit in your coat pocket or man satchel bag, which is good if you are on the go and traveling. The pages are small and words are very small as well to where if you have eye vision issues you’ll need glasses for this type of a read. Also the pages are somewhat printed on a flimsy cheaper paper which tends to stick together. Overall it is a matter of what is more important to you when purchasing a Bible. I personally love this type of translation which makes it simple for today’s English. And it is a great addition to my already extensive Bible and Christian reading materials. I gave it 4 out of 5 only because of the small font, if you can get passed that it is worth the buy

Font is easy to read. Bigger than that of another bible that I bought. Satisfied.
