BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Lifeway’s B&H Publishing Group and Holman Bibles have released the “CSB Grace Bible for Adults” with dyslexia in partnership with 2K/DENMARK and Cambridge University. This announcement follows the “CSB Grace Bible for Kids” in October, a first-of-its-kind Bible for readers with dyslexia.
“Dyslexia shouldn’t keep children and adults from reading the Bible,” said Lifeway President and CEO Ben Mandrell. “We want to ensure that all families have a way of enjoying God’s Word together by providing a Bible that enhances the readability and accessibility of Scripture. At its core, the “CSB Grace Bible” is meeting that need by helping people interact with God’s Word.”
Like the “CSB Grace Bible for Kids,” the adult edition of the Grace Bible integrates academically tested typeface and design principles developed by 2K/DENMARK and the Cambridge University research department. Additionally, the Bible offers an inclusive reading approach that improves visual processing for adults by adding space between letters, words, lines and paragraphs with distinct letter forms that enhance readability.
Klaus Krogh, founder of 2K/DENMARK, began developing the Grace typeface five years ago. Cambridge University heard about his work and asked if they could participate in developing and testing the typeface and design. In addition to the added weight to the baseline of letters, the Grace typeface helps readers differentiate between pairs of similar letters like m and n or p and q. Readers will also notice special-colored page overlays that enhance visual processing and can reduce visual stress.
“We know faith changes lives, and we’d like as many as possible to be given the chance to change their life by the message in the Bible,” said Krogh. “We hope that in the same way this Bible has been transformational for kids with dyslexia, the same will be true of adults and their ability to read God’s Word.”
According to the International Dyslexia Association, 15-20% of the population has a language-based learning disability. Of the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70-80% have deficits in reading. Many times, these readers struggle to see letters as fixed on a page and instead see letters as “bouncing balloons,” as Krogh described it. To address this, the Grace typeface ensures better readability by making letters heavier toward the bottom, so they stay fixed to the baseline.
“When we released the ‘CSB Grace Bible for Kids’ last fall, we hoped to increase biblical literacy among kids and help establish a foundation of spiritual disciplines that would lead to greater engagement with God’s Word,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “The feedback from families on the Grace Bible has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to see how providing a resource for adults with dyslexia will further enhance engagement with and enjoyment of Scripture.”

Heiser, releasing on October 1, 2025 in celebration of the book’s tenth anniversary.

First published in 2015, the bestselling The Unseen Realm has sold nearly 500,000 across all formats and interest has not waned in the decade since. In the book, Heiser recovers the ancient supernatural worldview of the Bible. Rather than avoiding the strange things in the Bible, Heiser hones in on them and shows how they matter to the work of Jesus. Regarding the book, John Goldingay, senior professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary said, “How was it possible that I had never seen that before? Heiser’s survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped.” Heiser’s writings and teachings continue to surprise and delight his growing fanbase.
