5.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource, teaching tool & reference,

This review is from: What the Bible is All about for Young Explorers (Paperback)
This is one of those books where the kids version is better than the adults version! It breaks down the Bible, into sections and sub-sections. For example, it introduces the 1st 5 books of the Old Testament as the Books of the Law, explains why they are called that, the main points, the main people, an outline of what happens in each chapter- and then it goes a wonderful step further, and links in known historical information, a map of 'Where It All Happened', and other pertinent information about the world at that time. The same format is followed for each Book of the Bible. Within each book there are small illustrations & summaries of the main events in each chapter, which are surprisingly well done- not off-putting to an adult, very accessible to a child. The reference materials at the end- a good dictionary of words that one doesn't often see outside of the Bible!, Bible geography, good time lines of the Old & New Testaments, and an amazing 16 pages of good color pictures tucked away at the end make this book a must!There are bits that are clearly written for children, and the section on 'Becoming God's Child' may or may not fit exactly with your view of things, but don't be put off by those: this is a great tool for getting to grips with a lot of information.

Just what my kids need!,
By
This review is from: What the Bible is All about for Young Explorers (Paperback)
I teach Sunday School to third graders, most of whom are more likely to associate Genesis with computer games rather than with the Bible. Our church gives every third grader a Bible -- an adult Bible, with very little study helps or annotations. This book is exactly what my third graders need to help them begin to understand and appreciate God's Word. Although it's written in language the kids can understand, it doesn't talk down to them.My daughter, who has both the NIV and NIrV Kids' Study Bible, also loves this book. I liked this book so much, I bought the adult version for myself. I also purchased the reproducible timelines, maps, etc. These will be a tremendous help in both my personal Bible study and my Sunday School class.
