Prairie~Phlox Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I prefer a straight NIV Bible, but for kids, is there such a think? I Haven't really looked very hard yet, but feel it's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmacnchs Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 There is NIrV but I prefer ESV for kids (it is more accurate but readable at the same time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseOwlKnits Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 My DD has this one and we love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyniffrec Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't know what age you are thinking about, but I really like the Jesus Storybook. It isn't word for word but the idea that the Bible is one story comes through in all the individual stories. For actual Bible versions, I like the NIV.

Classical Country Mama Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 We just bought the same one referenced above for our dd(5) this week (the NIrV Adventure Bible), so she's had it just a few days. It's the same as other NIVs, except the words are much more her level. What joy and pride she's already exhibiting in having her *own* Bible that she can actually READ for herself! She needs help with some of the names, of course, but even though only halfway through kindergarten, she's able to manage reading most of it independently. I recommend it highly!

Prairie~Phlox Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sorry, should of added, my kids are 8-12 and are all reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I really like the New Living Translation, not to be confused with the Living Bible. The LB was a paraphrase, whereas the NLT is a valid translation. The NLT is wonderfully easy to read. My kids have done well with it. As they get older I introduce other translations as well.

TechWife Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I prefer a straight NIV Bible, but for kids, is there such a think? I Haven't really looked very hard yet, but feel it's time. Here is the one we use - it is the regular NIV (not the NIrV for younger kids) and it works great for my son. We first got a hardback for him in 2nd grade, but the binding broke, so we got the same version but with a cover similar to this one & it is much more durable.

mrsrevmeg Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Well, I was going to share to my favorite child's Bible, but I just found out they are no longer in print. :thumbdown:If you come across a Faith to Grow on Bible they are great! They include word studies that really help kids as they are reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
