5.0 out of 5 stars An easy to read Bible, January 18, 2007

This review is from: New Revised Standard Version Children's Bible- NRSV Noah's Ark Cover (Hardcover)

I bought this for my 11 year old son who asked me for a Bible he could start studying. I was very pleased to see it maintains the Bible formatting with verse numbers so this is not a bedtime storybook with biblical themes.

The book itself is a nice, well constructed hard cover that should last a long time.

This review is from: New Revised Standard Version Children's Bible- NRSV Noah's Ark Cover (Hardcover)

This Bible solves the "too-small type" problem of cheaper Bibles, because this Bible is easy to read. It features nicely bound pages that feel long-lasting and its art is appropriate and unique. All around, it's a sturdy bible of a trustworthy translation.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Children's Bible, August 5, 2007

By 

The Inspector "3jrs" (Decatur, AL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New Revised Standard Version Children's Bible- NRSV Noah's Ark Cover (Hardcover)

I believe this is one of the best children's Bibles I have ever seen. The NRSV is an accurate and readable translation appropriate for ages 8 to 108. The cover and artwork are colorful and appropriate for the age level this Bible targets. The cartoon-type artwork of Biblical characters guarantees to spark interest in their topics. The "helps" within the text and book introductions are succinct and understandable. The icons that lead young readers to the main points of the Bible are very helpful and easy to follow. The four icons used throughout this Bible guides the reader to 1. God's Path (Who is God and how God wants you to Live), 2. Finding the Path (application of Biblical truths to your life), 3. Light on the Path (key verse for memorization), and 4. Points along the Path (people and places in the Bible). There is a nice dictionary in the back as well as colorful maps and Biblical timeline.

The only possible criticism I may have is that the publisher has titled this Bible "The NRSV Children's Bible". I wish they had just titled it "The Holy Bible". The word "Children's" in the title may make a teenager feel self-conscious carrying this Bible to church. I give this Bible 4 out of 5 stars.
