gandpsmommy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm looking for a first real Bible (not a Bible Story book) for dd, who is almost 7. She is a great reader (4th/5th grade level). Are there any available online? I'd like to get it for Easter and we don't live near a Christian bookstore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I also like the NlrV, I think it's called--it's the NIV but written at a lower level. I think there's a version called The Explorer's Bible. We are making a bible lapbook, and when we finish, I'll be giving dd7 a bible, too--hopefully in her Easter basket! Great minds...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tami Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 in the New LIving Translation. I love the NLT over the NIV. IT takes less liberty with the text. One Year Bible has a bit from OT, NT, Psalms and Proverbs broken down for her every day. It is a lovely Bible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey in MA Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 DS9 and DD6 either read aloud or listen to me. They both enjoy it, and look forward to it! It is chronological (unlike some portions of the Bible), but mostly in Books of the Bible order (Genesis first, then Exodus, etc.). So for example, during the story in Samuel 1 of David running from King Saul, they insert (with reference though) some of Psalm because these were songs David wrote in reference to whatever was happening to him at the time of his story. It actually makes tons of sense for the kids. http://www.amazon.com/Day-Kids-Bible-Readers-Tyndale/dp/0842355367/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205156018&sr=8-1 FWIW, the author who did this Day By Day Bible also did several other books (including a younger kids' Bible). We have her book "Sword Fighting" which is a devotional book, which often references her Day By Day Bible. I like the Sword Fighting book, but we did get off of it for some reason. I think we'll go back to it eventually, b/c it's laid out nicely. HTH and GL! - Stacey in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
