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.

English Standard version is one of the best modern translations. It's is accurate (not a paraphrase) and easy to read. I also like the older new American Standard version. Those two are tops in accuracy to the original texts. KJV is hard to read (although it is what I grew up on and I do like it personally, I'd be careful as KJV onlyism is very cult like, to the point that they believe that KJV is the only inspired version and all foreign translations must be translated from the KJV, and it is not the most accurate to the manuscripts).
