I've been trying to find a new bible for an elderly friend of mine who misses being able to read her bible. All I keep finding are bibles in a size 16 font and that is much to small for her to read. So any ideas would be a big help.

maybe an audio tape would work better if she can not read font size 16

on the Jeopardy television software about 2 weeks in the past, interior the category "Bible" the question replaced into: "what's the most precise translation of all Bibles?" the most excellent answer replaced into "NEW international TRANSLATION" that Jehovah Witnesses use. King James version got here into life. That replaced into in 1611. From virtually each and every quarter the King James Bible met competition. criticism replaced into typically severe. Broughton, a Hebrew pupil of the day, wrote to King James that he “might want to somewhat be torn asunder with techniques from wild horses than enable this kind of version to be imposed on the church.” King James Bible has been replaced; right now no human being reads the King James version in its unique style. Explaining why it is so the e book The Bible in Its historic and English variations says: “virtually each and every version, from the very beginning, presented corrections and unauthorized adjustments and additions, typically including new blunders interior the technique. The version of 1613 shows over 3 hundred alterations from 1611, It replaced into interior the eighteenth century, although, that the significant adjustments were made, The marginal references were checked and shown, over 30,000 new marginal references were extra, the financial ruin summaries and operating headnotes were thoroughly revised, the punctuation replaced into altered and made uniform in accordance with cutting-side prepare, textual blunders were bumped off, using capitals replaced into notably changed and decreased, and a thorough revision made interior the style of particular forms of words.” this kind of vast quantity of adjustments were made, lots of them interior the readings of passages, that the Committee on variations (1851-56) of the yankee Bible Society got here upon 24,000 alterations in six diverse variations of the King James version! What, then, of the objections raised with techniques from persons who say they don't opt for the King James Bible replaced? because the King James version has already been replaced, they lie on a crumbled foundation. If those persons do not opt for it replaced, then why do they use, as a replace of a replica of an version of 1611, an version that has been replaced? between the significant causes the approved version is so significantly established is its kingly authority. There seems little question that, had not a king approved this version, it does not right now be honored as even though it had come direct from God

the American Bible society seems to have reasonably priced large print Bibles; I think it used bible.com as someone else mentioned
You might consider an audio Bible if she really has trouble reading
as a change
