Old English > Modern English: Rework a religious genre book of 718 pages
The Desire of Ages by Ellen G White is a religious genre book about the sufficiency of Christ. It was published in English in the late 1800's with numerous Bible quotes from the KJV bible, as well as outdated or difficult to understand words. The book is 718 pages. We need to have the text updated to modern, accessible language, and the bible versions updated to modern versions which maintain the same message and meaning of the author's intention. We would also like a log kept of the word changes for reference.
There are also some old grammatical structures or very long sentences that need to be reworked for modern day readers.
We do not have a specific deadline, but would appreciate quotes for completion of the project in 8 weeks, and completion in 16 weeks.
Text sample:
In the time of John the Baptist, greed for riches, and the love of luxury and display had become widespread. Sensuous pleasures, feasting and drinking, were causing physical disease and degeneracy, benumbing the spiritual perceptions, and lessening the sensibility to sin. John was to stand as a reformer. By his abstemious life and plain dress he was to rebuke the excesses of his time. Hence the directions given to the parents of John,—a lesson of temperance by an angel from the throne of heaven.
