Finally, a resource to keep your mind from wandering while reading the Bible!
Have you ever realized you’ve read a passage multiple times in a row and still can’t recall what it says? The NIV Clear Focus Bible uses Bionic Reading®, which enables you to read more and with greater comprehension. Developed by Swiss scientists, Bionic Reading® bolds the portion of each word most critical for comprehension and guides the eye from word to word over the text. This allows the brain to stay engaged, identify previously learned words, and absorb information without losing focus.
In a world dominated by shallow forms of reading, the NIV Clear Focus Bible is the first-ever Bible available with Bionic Reading® and encourages more in-depth understanding of written content. Imagine a quiet time where you read longer, read with more clarity, and give Scripture the undivided attention it deserves.
Features:
Full text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV), the most widely read modern-English Bible translation, trusted for its combination of accuracy, readability, and beauty
Application of the award-winning Bionic Reading® method, enabling you to read more and with greater comprehension in a hectic and noisy world

This new Bible edition has special formatting to help readers better focus on and mentally process the text. It uses the Bionic Reading Method, which puts the first few letters of each word in bold. That visual emphasis helps readers focus and lets the brain fill in the rest of the word. This can make it easier to read long sections of text, especially for people with ADHD. It can also be helpful for people with dyslexia, although many dyslexic readers would prefer a weighted font, such as Open Dyslexic.
The downside of this edition is that the bold font shows through to the other side of each page. The pages need to be thin to prevent the Bible from being way too thick, since the special formatting already makes this Bible extra big and heavy. However, some readers will find it distracting that the print shows through to the other side.
The NIV Clear Focus Bible is a nice option for people are looking for innovative ways to read Scripture, especially if they have ADHD or other challenges that make it difficult to focus on large blocks of text. Whether or not this is the right fit will depend on the individual, but this edition offers a new, different option for exploring Scripture. The unique formatting can enhance concentration and reading speed, helping people take in longer passages faster and better understand them.
