Product Description

If you are one of the millions of Christian parents looking for a way to engage and understand the Bible together as a family, The Family Reading Bible is the Bible to meet your needs. Throughout the development of this unique Bible, the special content (questions, fun facts, and more) was tested by Christian families just like yours, who provided insightful feedback and help in order to make this Bible useful for you and your family in everyday life.The Family Reading Bible is designed to help parents use the Bible itself as their family devotional tool. A reading system with three easy-to-use tracks allows parents to accommodate children of various ages and stages. Readings of manageable length along with age-appropriate, engaging questions will encourage and maintain your kids' interest in God's Word. The Family Reading Bible is the perfect tool for parents in their role as the spiritual leaders of their home. CORE FEATURES1) Three reading tracks:*Track 1: Short Path---for families with tight schedules or children under 9*Track 2: Long Path---for longer devotional times and children over 9*Track 3: Off the Beaten Path---provides an opportunity for creative exploration of various topics of the Bible such as the Christmas story, Angels and Demons, Kings and Queens, and other fun topics.2) The Family Reading Bible is organized in standard canonical order, but the readings are read in chronological order. Example: when a reading about David in 2 Samuel is connected to a Psalm David wrote, you will be directed by page number to a devotional reading from that Psalm. You will then be returned by page number back to the next reading in 2 Samuel. 3) Brief summaries connect reading passages to provide continuity and understanding 4) Engaging, relevant fact and discussion questions written for children at various cognitive levels5) Trivia facts keep both kids and parents engaged

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible family resource, November 7, 2010
I believe it was in August when I discovered the treasure of the Family Reading Bible from Zondervan (head back to read my long thoughts and review here). Now I am so excited to be able to also share with you about The Christmas Story from the Family Reading Bible.

I have to say that when I first saw the cover variations between the hardcover book and the mass market paperback book I was leaning toward liking the paperback that matches the cover of the Family Reading Bible, but after getting them in my hands, I think it if I were choosing between them again I would choose the hardcover. They are the same size, same content, just different covers. I think both will last, but I think that the hardcover one would be ideal especially if you are celebrating Christmas on the go. Then the best of the scripture verses and the readings are right there with you possibly in a pocket ready to be read and shared.

Considering the concept of the Family Reading Bible: Without a doubt I think that this is the best Bible concept ever that I have found. Start (and keep) a family tradition of reading the Bible together. How important that is! Yet, then how often do you find people that really keep to it? In my own Bible study, I'm a little her and there and everywhere reading what is currently applying to me and my interests. The children in our lives are so important and guiding them to grow in a family of faith that knows their Bible is so valuable. As the back cover states the fact: Maintaining your kids' interest in family Bible reading can be difficult for any parent. Where to start? How to keep them interested? How to connect it all to everyday life?

All and all, I think this is the best Bible I have yet to get my hands on. I cannot believe that the idea for such a Bible was not readily available previously. The "about" section tells it all in how the concept was started from the simple statement of "I wish I could find a Bible to use for family devotions." Well they have that here and more. A great foundation to help parents to teach their children, build and maintain an interest in God's word, and keep children engaged. Absolutely love it.

*Thanks to Rachel Mars of Zondervan for providing a copy for review.*

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book is short but very readable. The Old Testament scriptures are discussed, along with the new. Reading a passage a day is a gfreat way to usher in the season.
