I have been reading this for a few years and have found it to easy to understand. I like it's straight forward presentation. It's God's love letter to us.

I really like this Bible, it's encouraging and uplifting. You do not need to be an alcoholic to use it. It's good for anyone having issues of any kind however, it is geared toward people recovering from addictions.

So all in all I find it a highly worthy offering.
