Sales Associate Training Kit

A training kit that will give your sales associates a valuable history lesson in Bible translation and educate them on how the TNIV continues the life-giving legacy of communicating the Bible’s timeless truth in today’s language.

What The Training Kit Is...
The history of Bible translation is a story as complex and detailed as the text itself. Countless scholars and translators have worked to bring the Bible to English-speaking people in a language that is as accurate and understandable as possible. 

Join us as we journey into this story and discover how Today’s New   International Version (TNIV) continues that legacy, by providing the timeless truth of the Bible in today’s language. This training kit will also walk you through each TNIV Bible available, and highlight the key selling tips and features.
