5.0 out of 5 stars The New Adventure Bible, December 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Adventure Bible: The NIV Study Bible For Kids (Hardcover)

This Bible is great for young readers and will keep them going well in to High School. There are many graphics throughout this Bible and special interest comments that explain why people did things the way they did or why they wore a particular type of clothing. Our church gave this New Adventure Bible to all children graduating into the third grade. The NIV translation is pretty understandable to young readers. Each book has an introduction that is designed towards the young reader. There are also special pages to enhance a childs understanding: for example in addition to the actual text of the ten commandments - is a special page with pretty graphics that re-word the commandments in language for youth. A special page explains "How to pray" - another summarizes Old Testament Prophets, and yet another page called "Getting to know Jesus" helps kids understand what it means to be a Christian. Just like the 'grown up' Bible - this book is a Red Letter edition. My fifteen year old still loves this Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible with great explanations for children, March 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Adventure Bible: The NIV Study Bible For Kids (Hardcover)

I am a preschool minister of a medium sized church. I have bought this Bible to give to all the children that promote from Kindergarten to first grade for the past ten years. I have not found any other Bible that meets the child's needs as he grows older and is not intimidating to a six year-old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for kids interested in the Word, curious or Christian, May 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New Adventure Burgundy Imitation (Imitation Leather)

The NIV Study Bible is very popular with adult readers because of its easy readability and the excellent study notes on every page. This wonderful New Adventure Kid's NIV Study Bible is a colorful, involving study Bible with many inserted pages that are personal to young kids, relating to their lives and families. There are question pages, lists of facts interesting to kids by category, and a page in the front where the child can write his or her name, who gave him/her the Bible, and for what occasion. I found this Bible for my youngest godson (age 9), and his mother tells me he is reading it often! I'm getting it for my daughter who turns eight this summer, and I'm certain she will love it! Your kids 8-12 will also, whether they are already Christians, simply interested, curious, or actively seeking to learn more about God's word. God Bless anyone reading my review- hope it helps you made a decision!
