The only product in that humble beginning was entitled <em>Living Letters \u2013<\/em> the epistles\nparaphrased by Dr. Taylor, primarily so that his ten children could better\nunderstand their nightly Bible readings.&nbsp;\nDr. Taylor was passionate about making the Bible accessible for all\npeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/05\/LivingBible2-e1558460664405-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3619\" width=\"250\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/05\/LivingBible2-e1558460664405-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/05\/LivingBible2-e1558460664405-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/05\/LivingBible2-e1558460664405-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/05\/LivingBible2-e1558460664405-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/05\/LivingBible2-e1558460664405-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That passion, beginning with the publication of <em>Living Letters <\/em>eventually led to the publication\nof <em>The Living Bible<\/em> in 1971.&nbsp; This green padded hardcover paraphrase went\non to be the best-selling book in the United States from 1973 through 1975!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the Bible accessible has been the clarion call for\nall Tyndale employees from the very beginning.&nbsp;\nThe <em>Living Bible <\/em>continues to\nsell today with now over 40 million copies in circulation!&nbsp; The <em>New\nLiving Translation, <\/em>a full translation of the Bible based on the work of\nover 90 Bible scholars has gone on to become the #3 Bible translation in the\nUnited States and has eclipsed The Living Bible in units sold since its\nintroduction in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now 58 years old, Tyndale House Publishers has become a\nleading Bible Publisher, not only in the United States, but around the\nworld.&nbsp; We are always seeking fresh ways to\nengage people with the life-changing message of God\u2019s Word and to encourage\nthem in their Bible reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/2K.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5051\" width=\"331\" height=\"110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/2K.jpg 568w, https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/09\/2K-300x100.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010, Doug Knox, Senior Vice-President and Group Publisher, met with Klaus Krogh. From that very first meeting the spark of creativity fanned into flame.\u00a0 It was clear from the beginning that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2kdenmark.com\/\">2K\/Denmark<\/a> and Tyndale House Publishers shared a burning desire to make God\u2019s Word accessible and to do so in a way that honored the Scriptures while forming the presentation to appeal to the modern reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year that collaborative partnership will bring the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/\/p\/nlt-daily-readers-bible\/9781496448279\">Daily Readers Bible<\/a>,<\/em> in the New Living Translation, to the market in the English language.\u00a0 When Klaus first presented the concept to Doug Knox and Tyndale\u2019s Bible Publisher, Blaine Smith, it was quickly apparent that the creative minds at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2kdenmark.com\/\">2K\/Denmark<\/a> had developed something truly unique \u2013 something that could rival Tyndale\u2019s <em>One Year Bible <\/em>which has easily been the best-selling daily reading Bible since the concept was introduced in the 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/wpmu.azurewebsites.net\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/08\/978-1-4964-4827-9_NLTDailyReaders_HC_Jacket_6X9_ThickSpine_3D-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5009\" width=\"292\" height=\"292\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyndale\u2019s Bible Acquisitions Director, Dave Thornton, stated\n\u201cMost Christians want to read the Bible but when they set out to do that two\nkey problems stand in their way. When they attempt a beginning-to-end reading\nof the Bible, they often bog down after the first 100 pages. The stories of\nGenesis and Exodus are fascinating, but as they begin moving into Leviticus and\nNumbers these two things pop up. First, they struggle to understand what\u2019s\nhappening and what it means, and second they can find some of the long lists,\nor detailed archaic laws boring. As a result, any Bible that helps people\nunderstand by connecting the dots throughout the full story of Scripture, and\nthat groups the passages in such a way that daily readings vary throughout the\ndifferent genres and testaments is quite helpful.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Tyndale and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2kdenmark.com\/\">2K\/Denmark<\/a> clearly understood these challenges that a great daily reading Bible needs to address.\u00a0 Bibles have come and gone over the years, but one that could truly endure would have to be something very special indeed.\u00a0 Klaus and Johs Krehberg-Jahr set out to provide a daily reading Bible with a 4-part goal: 1 &#8211; structure the readings so that each reading related thematically for each day; 2 &#8211; provide a clear distinction between the different literary types of the Bible; 3 &#8211; control the length of time required of the reader each day; and, 4 &#8211; include every word of scripture without repeating any for the entire 365-days!\u00a0 Any one of these four goals on its own is a challenging task.\u00a0 Incorporating all FOUR into the same Bible is, well shall we say impossible?\u00a0 Or so we thought, when Klaus first described the project in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wpmu.azurewebsites.net\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/09\/NLT-Daily-Readers-Bible-inside-spread-1024x484.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5052\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a revisit to the drawing board, Klaus presented the concept in 2018 \u2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2kdenmark.com\/\">2K team<\/a> had pulled off the impossible!\u00a0 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/\/p\/nlt-daily-readers-bible\/9781496448279\">The Daily Reader\u2019s Bible<\/a> <\/em>features the full text of the Bible without repetition in 365 daily readings (The Stories of the Bible, The Teaching of the Bible, and the Wisdom of the Bible).\u00a0 Each daily reading is uninterrupted by chapter numbers, verse numbers, section headings or textual notes.\u00a0 The daily theme helps the reader understand how the different sections of the reading support and complete the other.\u00a0 The innovative typesetting using 3-columns for the Stories section, 2-columns for the Teachings section and 1-column for the Wisdom section help the reader to clearly see transitions from one reading type to another and help the reader to develop a rhythm of daily reading. Each reading takes about 10-15 minutes per day. And here\u2019s the bonus \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2kdenmark.com\/\">2K\/Denmark\u2019s<\/a> type foundry developed fonts expressly designed for the challenges of Bible typesetting, resulting in imminently readable pages that encourage the reader to linger in God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 The structure of the readings and the use of red-letter for the words of Christ, give the reader the sense that Jesus is speaking into their lives in nearly every daily reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/09\/BibleCatalog_Dividers_2020_DailyReaders-801x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5053\" width=\"312\" height=\"398\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thornton said \u201cThe new <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/\/p\/nlt-daily-readers-bible\/9781496448279\">Daily Readers Bible<\/a><\/em> presents a fascinating approach to Scripture reading that links key themes of Scripture throughout the different genres and presents these texts in a visually fresh 3-2-1 column style unlike any other Bible on the market.
