Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up

'No child should be without a Bible to call their own, and the ESV Children's Bible is a great choice. Not only will children get the reliability and beauty of the ESV translation but this Bible features a newly illustrated cover and more than 200 pages of full-color illustrations that appear right where the stories occur in the text.

Each Children's Bible contains aids that kids can use on how to pray and read God's Word, the plan of salvation, God's promises, and becoming more like Jesus. In addition, a Bible-reading plan just for them is included, as well as a dictionary.'

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Christians who have longed for a more readable literal Bible translation will find much to praise in the English Standard Version. The ESV's translation team of over 100 members has admirably attempted to preserve the stylistic variety of biblical authorship and ease of reading (at the eighth-grade level) despite the word-for-word translation, which historically has resulted in a choppier text flow. Bible study aficionados will appreciate the short introductions to each book, an extensive center column cross-reference system, full-color maps, and a 14,500-entry concordance. The hardcover edition includes the basic Bible frills: a presentation page, as well as marriage, birth, and death registries. --Cindy Crosby --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Kids Bible that isn't Moronic, June 10, 2007

When my seven year old son decided that he wanted his own Bible, I knew it would be difficult to find the right one for him. He has been reading my bible for a while, and said he would like it if there were pictures. We looked around for a week or so and finally found this Bible. It is fabulous. It does have pictures and is definitely geared for kids, but it is a real Bible. All the books are there, and they are un-abridged. Even better, it comes in the ESV which is a solid conservative translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Children's Bible, August 14, 2009

I purchased this Bible for my 4 year old son. I thought that it might be a little much for him at his age but he is receiving it very well. He begs me to "read" him his Bible, and so I will walk through the pictures and explain to him the scripture. Later, when he is by himself I catch him repeating to himself what I explained to him before. The pictures are his scripture at this time. This bible is well done! The layout is crisp and exciting. The text is in paragraph form but each verse number is marked in red (black in the gospels where the words of Christ are in red). This Bible carries the full ESV translation text with paragraph headers. The text type size is just right and in an easy to read type. There are a lot of pictures in between the text. Each picture contains two verses to explain the picture. Each book has a short introduction written about it, and the Bible contains some study helps in the back. Some of the helps are: "Who Is God? What Is He Like?" (gives attributes), "God Makes Himself Known" (explains how we can know God), "The Ten Commandments" (explains them and why they are important to us) "From Old Testament To New Testament" (shows how they flow together). There are many other helps that explain and talk about Salvation, Sanctification, Fighting the Fight of Faith, Scripture memorization, The Promises of God, Going into all the world, and much more. It also contains a short Dictionary of words used in the text and explains what they mean and where in the Bible they can be found. In the front there is several sections of explanation like, "How to Use the Bible". The only con is that the Bible doesn't have maps! Seems like that would be VERY helpful for children. The Bible is glued not sewn, but seems to be pretty durable. As A Pastor I am always looking for solid helpful things to recommend and I do highly recommend this Bible.

I absolutely love this Bible. We purchased two for our two boys. They are learning to have a "quiet time" and are memorizing scripture. We love the ESV translation as well. Only request -- make one in a soft cover!! (That fake leather stuff is great!)
