................... Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 One of my Sunday school students has aspergers and gets upset when he can't find the books of the Bible. So I'm going to buy him a children's bible and add tabs. But one of his passions is maps! He loves loves maps! He knows all the continents and tectonic plates etc. so I know he'd love a Bible with lots of maps! It can be any version. His mom seems like a reasonable person and would be fine with NLT, NIV, ESV etc (I will ask her permission before giving it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) This is the bible my church gives to 3rd graders: https://www.amazon.com/Faith-Student-Bible-ESV-Pamela-Nielsen/dp/0758626991 - it has twelve pages of maps, and the intended age range is 8-14. This is the bible my middle dd has: https://www.cph.org/p-18169-my-very-first-holy-bible-esv-translation.aspx - it has eight pages of maps. It has over 120 color illustrations and retellings of 120 Bible stories in addition to the full ESV text of the Bible, to make it a little more accessible to younger readers as well (age range is 5-12). It has a simplified set of cross-references that connect common doctrinal verses to the narratives - I've found them helpful myself.

................... Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Wow these are great suggestions!!! I'm especially excited about the first one. Thank you so much for taking the time ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 This inexpensive, Bible atlas is very nice. I have used it with kids and adults. I have an ancient version ans we still use it all the time. Easier than a big, heavy book. Easier to use with the Bible open - no flipping back and forth from text to map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

................... Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I decided on just hte maps, and a set of tabs, that I will give to his mother. :) And then she can enjoy sitting down with him and putting the tabs into his own bible that she purchases. Getting a kid a first Bible is very special and I don't want to do that. :) But the maps will be a big treat and the tabs will help him in class. THanks guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
