The Casual English Bible is a work in progress.

We’ve been at this for about a decade. We started with an easy-reading Bible paraphrase, targeting readers new to the Bible. Then we added footnotes to address obvious questions that new readers would have. Then we added Q&A discussion study guides.

Bible maps were a big add. A massive consumer of time and cash and stomach lining. To get it done, we had to embrace the Geek Within that we didn’t know we had. It takes a lot of tech savvy to create 3D-style maps from cartography software and from photos and elevation data scrounged up from international space agencies in Europe, Japan, and America.

We’ve done some initial proofreading of the New Testament, but very little in the Old Testament. We hope to begin that soon with top tier proofreading experts who specialize in proofing the Bible.

Let us hear what you think.
