Wilhelm explains why people misunderstand the Bible, how bewildering Christianity can be as a result, and how to begin to read the Scriptures as they were given.
“A success story . . . proof that one can rise above the disease and defy its so-called limitations on the brain.”—Daily Beast Despite winning the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2008, Philip Schultz could never shake the feeling of being exiled to the "dummy class" in school, where he was largely ignored by his teachers and peers and not expected to succeed. Not until many years later, when his oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia, did Schultz realize that he suffered from the same condition. In his moving memoir, Schultz traces his difficult childhood and his new understanding of his early years. In doing so, he shows how a boy who did not learn to read until he was eleven went on to become a prize-winning poet by sheer force of determination. His balancing act—life as a member of a family with not one but two dyslexics, countered by his intellectual and creative successes as a writer—reveals an inspiring story of the strengths of the human mind.
Enjoy an "easy to read" New Testament for struggling readers, beginner readers and people with dyslexia. This is a large Bible, the size is 8.5" by 11". The font used is Dyslexie. It has a soft cover with a matt finish. There are several styles of covers to choose from. Beginner's Bible, Student Bible, Large Print Bible, Dyslexic Bible and Children's Bible Editor's note: For this "Simply the Bible" New Testament, we have used the World English Bible (WEB) as our main source, because it is in Public Domain andis a good easy-to-read translation. There were a few areas where we referred back to the more poetic, traditional wording, diverting from some of the terms found in the WEB. One example would be the use of "the army of the sky" in Acts 7:42; we preferred to use the more traditional "the host of heaven." Also, when there was an implied meaning for the use of a word within the context of a passage we took the liberty of stating what the word meant using a few words rather than just a direct single word translation of the Greek, making the text more readable. In all such cases the original languages were carefully checked to make sure that our uses of the terms were in harmony with the reputable Greek lexicons and grammar resources in both printed and digital formats. We also comparedother translations, and considered the wording of other Public Domain translations, such as the King James Version. Therefore "Simply the Bible" is not a new translation of the Scriptures. We just wanted to produce a readable New Testament, using an enhanced dyslexic font that may take some of the struggle out of reading the Scriptures, for those with dyslexia. To remove distractions, we have also removed the footnotes referencing alternate readings found in Greek New Testaments from which some other Bibles have been translated.

Since dyslexia was first described in the British Medical Journal in 1896, there has been debate about the definitions and diagnostic procedures used, with some casting doubt on its very existence. However, there is now a considerable body of research regarding the nature and characteristics of this relatively common learning disorder. The contemporary view of dyslexia has emerged from a century of research in medicine, psychology and more recently neuroscience, and we now understand enough about this learning disorder to guide policy and practice. This Very Short Introduction provides an accessible overview of this exciting field of research, beginning with its history, and drawing on testimony from people living with dyslexia. Considering the potential causes of dyslexia, and looking at both genetic and environment factors, Margaret Snowling shows how cross-linguistic studies have documented the prevalence of dyslexia in different languages. Discussing the various brain scanning techniques that have been used to find out if the brains of people with dyslexia differ in structure or function from those of typical readers, Snowling moves on to weigh up various strategies and interventions which can help people living with dyslexia today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
