My 22 year old daughter has expressed interest in reading The Bible. I was raised Catholic (school and all) I absolutely believe God Wins but I haven't practiced Catholicism in a long time, with the exeption of a daily phrase on The Bible app first thing every morning. My question is, is there a recommendation on what Bible she should read that she won't just get overwhelmed and not finish it. My first one was The Children's Bible as a kid. I'm not sure one of my traditional Bibles would keep her interested.

Tell her to start with the New Testament. Skip the Old Testament for now. King James Version. One printed before 1960 when they started taking out important things like fasting. Stay clear of the Scofield Reference Bible or as some call it the Scofield Study Bible.
The main goal is to listen to what Jesus is saying. Too many people worship the teacher himself but disregard his message.
that's how I started... I had to get to know Jesus, took me many years and finally now I'm reading the Old testament.. it's a journey for me
I dunno - the Septuigent is all Greek to me.
