kristavws Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I would like to purchase a new study Bible for my son. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for this age range. I am looking for a Bible that he can read and study on his own. He does read on nearly a 5th grade level. TIA, Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in MO Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 read from the NIV Adventure Bible. I'm not sure how comprehensive of a study Bible you're looking for, but I thought the notes for kids were very good. I also personally liked the readability of the NIV and the fact that it's a fairly accurate translation. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 My ds is going into 6th and still uses this bible. I agree with Michelle. It's a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The Explorer's Bible for Kids is a favorite here. Lots of neat "going deeper" info. It's NKJV. http://www.amazon.com/Explorers-Bible-Kids-Explore-Live/dp/0718006941 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neesek Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 There are two versions written at about a 3rd grade level - the NIrV (New International Reader's Version) and the ICB (International Children's Bible). Both versions are very good, but I personally prefer the ICB. My ds got his first ICB in Kindergarten, and he is still reading it. My plan is to keep him in it at least another year or two even though he is reading well above grade level. When I feel like he is ready, we will get him the Children's ESV. I believe it is written at around an 8th grade level. We just purchased my dd her own ICB, and will follow the same progression for her. Here is the Bible that my son has: http://www.amazon.com/ICB-Holy-Bible-Holographic-Hardcover/dp/1400306930/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212958076&sr=8-1 Here is the one that we just bought my dd. It is more of a study Bible than my ds's. http://www.amazon.com/Lucados-Daily-Devotional-Bible-Encouragement/dp/1400308216/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212957550&sr=1-1 And here is the Children's ESV that they will get next: http://www.amazon.com/ESV-Childrens-Bible-Hardcover-Religion/dp/1581348924/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212958245&sr=8-3 Another option you might consider is to get the Victor Journey Through the Bible for your ds to read along with his Bible. It is a wonderful study tool! HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraciWA Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We have used the Adventure Bible for all of our kids and also the ESV(English Standard Version). A tradition we started was to give our kids a real Bible when they turn six. So this week we gave the ESV children's Bible to our youngest dd.
