ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Recovery Version of the Bible

Okay, so imagine you have a really big and complicated toy puzzle that you want to play with. But when you open up the box, there are instructions that are hard to understand and you don't know how to put the puzzle together. That's kind of what it's like when you want to read the Bible, which is a big and important book that tells us about God and Jesus.

There are many versions of the Bible, but one of them is called the "recovery version." This version is like having a grown-up helping you with your puzzle by giving you easier instructions that are still really detailed.

The recovery version of the Bible has been written based on many years of study and research by people who want to help others understand the Bible better. They've looked at the original language that the Bible was written in (which is different from the English we speak now) and they've tried to make it easier to understand in English.

The recovery version also has lots of notes that explain different parts of the Bible, kind of like extra tips that can help you figure out your puzzle. For example, if you're reading a story about Jesus, there might be a note that explains why that story is important and what it can teach us.

Overall, the recovery version of the Bible is a special version that tries to make it easier for people to understand and learn about God and Jesus.
