CEV 1 of Only 3 known "Non-Tech language" Modern English Translations

Non-Christian seekers, new Christians, and Christians wanting to opt out of wrestling with ancient English terms now formalized into key doctrines, will find the CEV, New Living Translation, and God's Word Version very helpful; they're the only 3 recent works I have located that rendered the heavy-weight Christian doctrines such as "justification, sanctification, expiation, redemption, regeneration," etc., into everyday English. This obviously may erode depth of meaning that can be mined from the tech terms; but the techies require additional study tools and/or an extensive Bible-training background; something non-Christian seekers, new and nominal Christians, and the rest of us involved in busy schedules may prefer to bypass except when retired, on vacation, and/or loaded up with lots of free time to wade through the outside study tools, etc., etc.Even if you pack a NIV, NAB, JB, ESV, NRSV, etc., consider adding the CEV, NLT and GWV to your inventory for every day fast-lane study and reading.
