5.0 out of 5 stars Surefire Way to Encourage Kids to Read the Bible, August 5, 2005

This review is from: Magnify - New Testament: Biblezine for Kids (Biblezines for Kids) (Paperback)

Too bad you can't search inside this book. It is full color with lots of graphics, sidebars, and pull-out quotes, just like a magazine. The International Children's Bible is translated especially for children and is written at an approximate grade three reading level. While easy to read, it is not "childish" and will appeal to ages 7-11.

Some features throughout are: Bible Basics; Livin'it; Real Super Heroes, Get Connected (how to get live a happy life with people around you); Gotta Know (questions kids ask with answers from the Bible) and Games and Quizzes. Two secret decoders are bound-in to unscramble messages. Each book is introduced graphically with information about the author, purpose, theme, and content placed in bubbles using the fewest of words. I recommend this book along with "Magnify Old Testament Stories" and "Magnify Psalms and Proverbs" as references for the entire family rather that as a Bible for children. Each child should have a full Bible for personal use at home and church. The "Hands On Bible" from Tyndale would be great for the color and graphics. The International Children's Bible from Tommy Nelson is the same translation as Magnify, but no color or graphics except for a few maps at the back.

Love the format, all of the extras, puzzles, games, etc. and especially the easy to understand version. Has my 9 year old reading the Bible more than ever before & even finding things to share with his sister.

This review is from: Magnify - New Testament: Biblezine for Kids (Biblezines for Kids) (Paperback)

I got this bible for my 8 year old son. He is not much of a reader, but was truly wanting to get into God's word. What happened was that he began losing interest because it became somewhat boring for him. This bible has helped to spark the desire for His word and also gives interesting facts and tid-bits that cater to his curious, but not always attentive, mind. Highly recommended for the younger child that doesn't have the natural desire for reading much of anything.
