About this deal

The new Rainbow Good News Bible is a lovely edition of the Christian scriptures very well suited to the needs of 7-11 year olds in church, school or family. It’s very child friendly and full of helpful and supportive extras.' The New Testament was first published as ‘Good News for Modern Man’ by the American Bible Society in 1966, and then the whole Bible was printed as Today's English Version (TEV) in 1976. In the USA it is now called the Good News Translation (GNT). For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Requests from missionaries in Africa and Asia, as well as from new Christians whose first language wasn’t English, brought to light the need for a Bible that spoke a plainer language. A simpler language. If God’s word is for all people, then all people should be able to read it. This philosophy was, in part, what propelled the King James Bible into existence almost 400 years earlier. That there should be no barriers to the Bible for anyone. Born in Switzerland in 1915, Anne Marie Vallotton was a committed Christian and illustrator. She only ever published one work before the Good News Bible. That work, a collection of illustrations from the life of Jesus, was deemed so unmarketable that her French publisher was said to have dumped 3,000 copies of it in the Seine.

The Good News Bible is written at about a 3rd Grade Reading Level. This means readers from the ages of 8 or 9 should be able to confidently read the majority of the Good News text and understand what it means.The King James Bible arose from the need for an English Bible amongst the general population of 17th century England. The NIV Bible was birthed from a need for a Bible that reflected the language of 1970s America. The Messagefollowed that cause as modern English had moved on a lot since then. What determines this level is the total number of unique words, as well as sentence length and the length of the words themselves. Other grammatical features also carry weight in the score. The greater the complexity, the higher the score. The reading level doesn’t take into account any understanding of a text's history and context. Only the words and grammar. Whether this was the first appearance of a rainbow in human history (because it had not rained yet as Genesis 2:5 seems to say) or it was just God repurposing the phenomenon that already existed (as KenHam explains), the Bible is very clear about what the rainbow symbolizes. God's Promises Symbolized by the Rainbow The] quality of a translation in which the message of the original text has been so transported into the receptor language that the response of the receptor is essentially like that of the original receptors."

It's so important that children can understand the big picture of the Bible and see how it relates to their lives. The reading trails, facts, and questions are great tools and prompts to help families do this.'

With an emphasis on the meaning of the text it is particularly popular with schools, Sunday Schools, young people, and people with English as a second language. It is a favourite all over the English speaking world, and among all ages, making it perfect for all-age services.
