Description
The Good News Bible (GNB), is an English translation of the Bible. It was first published as the New Testament under the name Good News for Modern Man in 1966.
The GNB is written in a simple, everyday language, with the intention that everyone can appreciate it, and so is often considered particularly suitable for children and for those learning English.
Since the focus is strongly on ease of understanding, poetry is sometimes sacrificed for clarity. This choice can be seen in the example quotation of John 3:16, which is rendered, "For God loved the world so much that …", which is more pedestrian than the familiar "For God so loved the world". The translated phrase contains a literal, if not figurative, mistranslation: the Greek word for "so" in that passage is οὕτως,[9] which likely means "in such a way" as well as "so much".[10] Because the implication of the phrase "in such a way that he would sacrifice his only son" includes the implication of "so much" and could certainly not include the opposite "loved the world so little," the translators chose the phrase "so much" for its brevity and clarity.

2 ★ It is not user friendly in terms of searching for verses. Include a search bar and allow us to find what we want using just keywords.
3 ★ I love the interface, but there's still work to be done. In the book of Psalms and Songs of Solomon the HTML codes are still not well written, thus you still see line breaks we are not supposed to see these code elements.
5 ★ Just what I needed...the ads don't cover the whole screen enabling me to have my devotion with no screen disturbance. Wonderful app👍
5 ★ Nice beautiful...l like everything in it the change in the layouts...I would also like if u can put a change in the texts it would be nice ...but still it is nice
1 ★ Not many options were available.Also the greater than (>) & less than(<) symbols kept appearing between words
4 ★ So far the best Bible app i have received in all years but just the illuminat and devil worship ads that come up whenever am reading.
4 ★ Good , but verses jump up or shift up and down during reading. I wish it could steady.
3 ★ Amazing app! i love the off white page interface above all , could have rated five stars but there are no appocrypha books. Which i was looking forward to before installation.
5 ★ I absolutely love this app. The setup give me the feel of actually flipping pages through a bible and the text is so easy to understand. Makes my study of the Word so enjoyable!
5 ★ Easy reading, turning pages, easy to understand. It just allows you to glide along and just keep reading.
3 ★ I recently started using this and I totally love that it can flip over like a hard copy book.. I am still assessing but so far, I am really impressed.. do you have other versions also? Especially NKJV..
4 ★ Useful! This bible has paragraphs so you will be forget where you are in reading it.
4 ★ I really love this app. The text is clear and the background is adjustable for low light (night) or high light (day) sitiations. Great stuff.
5 ★ from my experience its simpler to read and has a great layout. I've enjoyed it so much that its one of the oldest apps on my phone
4 ★ The Bible is beautiful, very nice, except some places in Psalms that are double. Verses were repeated
