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.

Go to a bookstore and browse the Bibles. Find the one that you find easiest to read and understand. No matter how good a particular translation is, if you can't easily understand it and it doesn't make you want to read it, then you won't. It's more important that you read it once from cover to cover. Once you've done that, you can always go back and get that better translation and have another go at it.
