[Note]

“The Bible in the language of the people” is the guiding spirit behind the ministry of the American Bible Society. The entire program of the Society can be summed up in the one compelling purpose of making the Holy Scriptures readily available to all people throughout the world in languages which they clearly understand and at prices which they can easily afford. This inexpensive Bible in the clear and accurate language of Today's English Version and with non-doctrinal aids for the reader is an example of what the Bible Society is doing throughout the world in hundreds of languages to make the Word of God more easily available to all.

The Bible Society program of translating the Bible into the living language of everyday use in hundreds of languages is growing each year. In addition, in most countries and languages the actual distribution of the Bible must be heavily subsidized if it is to be within the reach of most people.

No task in the world is more important than reaching every person on earth with the Word of God. The American Bible Society has the vision supported by efficient organization, it has over a century and a half of experience, it has dedicated partners in Bible Societies across the world.
