  1. Clear guidance matters – especially when life feels uncertain.
    The words in the EasyEnglish Bible are easy to read. God's word can be easy to understand.

    "Your word is like a lamp that shines as my guide.
    It shows me the right way to live."

    Psalm 119, verse 105, EasyEnglish Bible

  3. Clive Gray writes, "The beautiful short book of Galatians comes to life in the EasyEnglish version. Clear and easy to understand in today's everyday spoken english. I trust you are reminded in these six short chapters, that salvation is only found in the completed work of Christ on the Cross. Any other message is a false one. Be blessed."

  8. Did you know that our website has EasyEnglish Bible Commentaries for all the books of the Bible?

    Each Bible commentary explains one book chapter-by-chapter. These Bible Commentaries are easy to read and understand. They are written in EasyEnglish by #MissionAssist.

    Our team are improving the format of the commentaries. To see the new format, look at "Jonah - The Man Who Disagreed With God" on our website at easyenglish.bible/commentary/j .

  9. The Book of Psalms contains 150 songs. There are some happy psalms that praise God. In other psalms, the writers pray to God for help.

  10. "Then Peter said to them, ‘Now I understand that God accepts all people in the same way. God has shown me that this is true. God accepts all people who worship him and who do the right things. It is not important to God which nation a person belongs to.'"

    When people are upset,
    the Lord is near to them.
    He saves those who feel very weak and upset.

  12. #EasyEnglish started in 1994. The first EasyEnglish publication was a commentary on #Psalm 100. In the beginning, each book of the #Bible was printed. Then in 2001 a website was created, so that more people could read the EasyEnglish Bible and the Bible study notes.

    We thank God for all of the #MissionAssist volunteers who have been part of the team during the last 30 years. We praise God that EasyEnglish has helped millions of people to read and understand the Bible.

  15. “So #Jesus told them this story: ‘Think about a man who has 100 #sheep. He may lose one of them. What does he do then? ... He looks for the sheep that he has lost. He looks until he finds it. When he finds the sheep, he is very happy. ... When one person stops doing wrong things, it is like that. It makes those that live with God in heaven very happy.’”

  16. @VoxClamans Thank you for your comment.

    It is good that some people have studied the original languages. It is also good that some people have translated the text into other languages.

    Our vision for the #EasyEnglish Bible and Books is to help people to read and understand the Bible, and apply it to their lives.

    The #EasyEnglishBible is good for people who are learning English, people who find reading difficult, and people who speak English as a foreign language.

  17. "Think about how the wild #flowers grow. They do not work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you this. Even one wild flower is more beautiful than King Solomon was. And King Solomon wore the most beautiful clothes. It is God that gives beautiful clothes even to the grass."

    #Gospel of Matthew 6, verses 28-30, #EasyEnglish #Bible

  18. "Stop and think about the wonderful things that #God does.
    Do you know how God commands the #storms? Do you know how he sends the bright #lightning from the #clouds? Can you explain how the clouds hang in the #sky?
    God knows everything perfectly and he does these wonderful things."

  19. #MissionAssist has launched a new app. It is called "EasyEnglish Bible". The app contains the Old Testament and the New Testament.

    It is free of charge and without ads.

    The text of the #Bible is in #EasyEnglish. In the app you can choose your language for the menus and settings.

    If you have an Android phone or tablet, please go to #GooglePlay and download the new app. Tell us: What do you think about the app? What do you like about the EasyEnglish Bible? Thank you.

  20. @AlexanderChow Thank you for sharing this report. There are various references to language, including the importance of mother tongue to explain faith and to sing worship.

    Do you have insights into Bible reading in mother tongue versus English? Of course, it may be a different choice for personal devotion, groups or church services.

    A project to look at that would be great.

    At #MissionAssist we've been told the #EasyEnglish #Bible is great for multi-lingual groups with only English in common.

  21. @ameredith @AaronJSmith

    Thank you for talking about where you are right now.

    You may find it helpful to spend a few minutes each day reading through a guided plan, for example "30 Days with Jesus". Available in YouVersion if you use that app, or read it online at easyenglish.bible/study/30-day

    As someone who sees a summary of the feedback that the #EasyEnglish team receive, I know that our reading plans have really, truely helped people in their faith journey.

  22. @chrisminnick Thanks for sharing. What makes this a good narrator for you?

    I ask because I've been in conversation this week about the existing #audio for the #EasyEnglish #Bible and some suggestions for the future.

  23. In the #Bible there are many names for #Jesus.

  24. Then the #angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid. I know that you are looking for #Jesus. The soldiers killed him on a #cross. But he is not here. He has become #alive again. That is what he said would happen.’
