The Young Reader's Bible

I recently purchased this "Reader" Bible (it is FULL of easy to read Bible stories - from both the OT AND the NT!) for my 1st grade daughter. We are using it to accompany the homeschool curriculum we are currently implementing - My Father's World. I think it is perfect for her reading level. I also appreciate the fact that it has a well-rounded coverage of both OT and NT.

This is great for my 1st grader who is just starting to read. He loves it we use the devotional that goes with the bible. It makes it come to life for him. He is so proud that he can read the Bible.

We appreciate three things about this Bible. (1) The illustrations are not silly or too cartoonish. (2) The text is decent, meaning it is easy to read but not too far removed from the Word of God. (3) A significant scope of stories are included, not just the same old Noah's Ark and Jonah and the whale. You will get a sample of everything from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to the end of the New Testament era, including a very decent treatment of such Bible topics as creation and the crucifixion of Jesus (short but sober). This is no small challenge given the format of 70 stories (three double-sided pages each), but well done.

My daughter Laura was having problems in school. We had her tested and they said she needed to focus more. They suggested that we set aside a time to read together at home. We had not been doing that much. The cover to this book is so bright and colorful she went for it instantly! We thumbed through it and right there in the store, she tried reading the stories. I could see that they were simple enough for her but would also challenge her in her reading.I can't say enough about this Young Reader's Bible. Laura has learned to love reading because of it. To me, that is a miracle because she was in danger of being held back before. These are familiar stories so they draw a child in. Even kids who have not gone to Sunday school before will find these stories exciting, and will want to read on. And the pictures are a BONUS. I would recommend this book to anyone who asks about a children's Bible, and I have done so. It has been fun to see how many kids from church now pack their Young Reader's Bible with them. Buy this book. You won't be disappointed!

I wanted a Bible story book for a 12 year old Chinese girl who has been in America only 8 months. When she arrived she knew very little or if any English. I feel the book is very attractive with easy reading. I was drawn to the cover in comparison to other books I reviewed, in that the cover had adults and not only children.The Bible stories are well chosen and which carries a historical thread throughout the book. Earlier I sent her a more "primer" Bible story book which she told me she can now read. I choose it because it is a Lovely Book.
