People who had quit the Bible. Reading it.

Finished a whole Gospel in one week

Made for people who kept giving up
Real readers, quoted with permission. We never invent reviews.
A reader, not a scholar. On purpose.
The Plain Word was made by Cameron Cline, a 22-year-old filmmaker from Ontario who owned a Bible for years and stalled out every time he opened it. He was 21 before he understood a single chapter. So he built the book he needed — and he has never claimed to be a theologian, because this book never asks you to trust one.
Same verse.
Zero translating
in your head.
On the left, the King James Version of 1611 — public domain and rightly loved. On the right, the same verse from the actual book. The meaning is kept. The struggle is gone.

| Every verse kept | Yes | Yes | Loosely | Yes, checked verse by verse |
| Source named | Original languages | Original languages | Varies | World English Bible, public domain |

More questions, answered.
Cameron Cline, a 22-year-old filmmaker from Ontario who owned a Bible for years and stalled every time he opened it. He is a reader, not a theologian, and the book never asks you to trust him: the source is named, every chapter is checked against it verse by verse, and the comparison above lets you hold any passage against the Bible you already own.
Verse numbers were added by a printer in the 1550s so scholars could cite passages. On the page they chop sentences in half and turn a story into a list. Every chapter is still complete and numbered, so you can always find your place in another translation.
The same book, the same 475 pages of text, set in larger type with more space between lines. It is the edition to buy for a parent, a grandparent, or anyone who reads without glasses at arm’s length. $49, ebook included.
