Why do I use the Common English Bible

My bible of choice is the Common English Bible in my daily reading and time alone with God. On reason is that my goal as follower of Christ is  to make disciples of Christ of all people. Paul explain it this way in 1 Corinthians 9:20-22
"20 I act like a Jew to the Jews, so I can recruit Jews. I act like I’m under the Law to those under the Law, so I can recruit those who are under the Law (though I myself am not under the Law). 21 I act like I’m outside the Law to those who are outside the Law, so I can recruit those outside the Law (though I’m not outside the law of God but rather under the law of Christ). 22 I act weak to the weak, so I can recruit the weak. I have become all things to all people, so I could save some by all possible means". Because of my Cerebral Palsy  want  to win people over for Christ who have different disabilities including intellectual and learning disabilities. In picking a bible I want them to understand the Gospel and God's plan with ease but makes us  think. Another reason is that I want a Bible that can be used by children and adult. This would people want to understand the gospel and the cross. This is important because the gospel is the only thing on Earth to change our hearts and mind. Not only that but also to get to know about Christ and what he did on the cross.
