Aimed at ages 8 to
12, the NIV Kids’ Visual study Bible illustrates the chapters of
the Bible with full color pictures, maps and extra content that
provides context for the story. Each chapter starts with a
description of what’s contained in the text such as who wrote the
book, why, where did it happen and other questions that give an
overview of the contents of the chapter. The sidebars give an
abbreviated version of what’s happening in the verses.
All the additional
information in the Bible, including new archaeological and scientific
research that is helping to flesh out our understanding of what life
was like at the time of Jesus, is included in easy to understand text.
While I think the book is an excellent resource for middle grade
children, anyone could enjoy this Bible. I was very impressed with
the level of detail presented in an easy to read and understand
format.
My only criticism,
and it’s true of all reasonably sized Bibles, is that the text is
very small. Young children may have difficulty with the size of the
print. However, considering the volume of material contained in the
Bible, the publisher probably had no choice.
I highly recommend
this Bible as a gift of your children or grandchildren. You may be so
impressed with the information that you
want a copy for yourself.
I received this
Bible from Handlebar Marketing for this review.
