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.

The original New Testament scrolls were written in Greek. Why would anyone cling to an English translation that was written in a dialect that was present in the 1600 's? 1600-style English has nothing to do with the original writings. Get a good solid English translation that is done in our current English. My recommendation is the 1984 translation of the NIV, or ESV. Avoid the modern translations that have manipulated the gender verbiage to make it more palatable to leftists.
