I am excited to see this Dyslexia-Friendly Bible from Crossway in the ESV version. I am not an ESV Bible user, as I use the KJV or NKJV versions.
I have underdiagnosed dyslexia, which was missed or never even thought of when I attended primary school over 40 years ago. The abuse I received for being thick made me very insecure.
Over the years, I have managed to adapt from having poor self-confidence to being able to attend Bible college at Cornhill Scotland.
There wasn’t any written work, but everything was practical, but that might have changed now if you want to do a degree. I loved listening to the teaching, but I was crippled with notetaking and was allowed to record lectures with a mp3 player.
We used the ESV Bible at college, so I am very familiar with the text. I also use it to check out translations, as our church uses the NKJV.
The lady in the “Introducing the ESV Holy Bible: Dyslexia-Friendly Edition” video is very much like me; it was nice to see that I am not the only one who has dyslexia issues, and it gave me some assurance.
The video by JD de Klerk was beneficial from a pastor teacher’s point of view. In it, he does a deep review.
The Bible doesn’t include the omitted verses, which are usually in the footnotes, but I suppose you can write them in.
I hope to buy this Bible in the next few weeks, and I love Klaus Krogh’s passion for helping people with dyslexia and look forward to his future work.
