My thoughts:  What an enticing and attractive (and tastefully done) book for kids 8 to 12 to use in Bible study. Written to accompany the NIV Adventure Bible this GUIDE visually and textually works right in alignment with the NIV Adventure BIBLE.

This is not a disposable workbook where you write or draw on the pages and it soon is used up and thrown away. This is an insightful guide through the books of the Bible. Each two-page spread covers one of the Books of the Bible. Short but detailed information bites are given along with attractive illustrations. 

Charts such as the 7 Days of Creation, the 7 Feasts (Leviticus), and the opening pages Time Line of Events aid in comprehension of major events. Who and what of the books and main ideas are given. All in easy to comprehend conversational text. And the charts showing lineage aid in understanding the layering of people throughout such a long period of history. Maps specific to that book and events help in placing a historic event on the globe of today's world. 

I am the mother of 5 and grandmother of 13. I taught Sunday School, Saturday Bible Club, and Vacation Bible School. I was involved in Christian schools for many years. I have seen many materials and can say that this presents information in an easily accepted, wonderfully attractive, and definitively informative method to the growing child.

I highly recommend. (Whilst this was developed for use with the NIV Adventure Bible for Kids, I can see it useable with other versions of Scripture as well.)

With kid-friendly overviews of Genesis through Revelation and full-color infographics, maps, and images, children will strengthen their faith and gain a deeper understanding of the most important story ever told.

The NIV Adventure Bible for Kids (full text, full color interior)

 

My thoughts:  One of my grandsons is pastor of a church and his daughter has this very same Bible! That's an endorsement. "Pastor provides his own child a copy of NIV Adventure Bible for kids." This is a delightfully colorful, bright, engaging edition of the Bible geared for kids; but for kids who are old enough to begin to actually study God's Word more in-depth and detailed. Kids who are not yet ready for concordances, Biblical dictionaries, etc. That comes later as they mature. This Bible gives them something that captures their attention and helps learn facts and have insights take root in their pliable minds.

In today's world where technology and rapid-fire TV grabs their attention and numbs their brain function present more of a challenge for personal and detailed reading and study, this engaging Biblical publication will help glue them to God's Word. The accompanying Study Guide further helps pull the details out of the Word cementing it into their being and into relativeness for them personally. 

An excellent step forward in Biblical studies for growing children.
