 Beautiful Bible for Kids
Beautiful illustrations and stories that are easy to understand without being too juvenile. We use this book after Church to review the Gospel lesson each Sunday.
 Too Much Unity
A note on the back of this book reads that it "has been approved by an editorial board consisting of leaders from the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths". Although this is meant as a selling point, it appears to be a precise description of what ails this otherwise promising book.
- Overall coverage of the Bible is good, but I have not read each and every chapter to assess the accuracy of the translation. I assume compromises have been made to satisfy "the board". However, the language is clear and easy to understand.
- Illustrations are good. I find the presence of maps a nice addition.
- There are introductions to each chapter, and this would be okay, except for the obvious problem of interjecting doctrinal ideas that may not be compatible with your faith.
This is easily a book that could be read and shown to children, but because of the syncretistic nature of the content, I would not recommend turning the book over to unattended youngsters.
Beautifully Told & Beautifully Illustrated!
I had this bible when I was a child and I LOVED it. I am elated to find that it is still in print and available for purchase! With that said, I am a Black American. I always found the artwork that accompanied the scriptures in this bible to be beautiful and I STILL do! Granted, by today's standards the illustrations are not cullturally diverse, but then neither are paintings from the Renaissance period. Does that mean that Michaelangelo's paintings are less beautiful because they don't depict diversity? Think about it.
The message of the scripture is what truly counts. God made us all and loves us all, no matter our ethnicity. No one living today can say that the illustrations are acurate in their telling of the scripture. If this bible has 1 slight, that would be it. Regardless, it's still God's word no matter how the characters are painted.
Fantastic!
This purchase is by far one of the best ones ever made. The pictures are fantastic and it is written in a way my two little boys can understand. They love to sit and listen while I read to them from their Bible.
Golden Children's Bible
I bought this book for each of the kindergarten class students at my childrens' school and they all loved it. The teacher was very grateful and I've never seen so many children in awe over the wonderful pictures that this book has. I would recommend this book for any age child that wants to learn about God and Jesus Christ. Great Book!!!!!!
