This bible is a gem. The problem with all other 'children's' bibles is that they are adult translations with pretty pictures. This is not. It is translated from the original Greek and Hebrew, especially for children, and I recommend it for any child of primary school age. In fact, it is the bible that all primary schools should use in class for RE lessons! I have to admit using it myself when I really cannot understand what most other versions are getting at. This should be on every child's bookshelf.

Where do you go once your child is moving on from 'Bible stories' to wanting a 'proper' Bible that they can use for daily study with Bible notes etc?
We have started each of our kids off with this version - hardcover or paperback. Though the language is fine for a competent junior-school-level reader, our older two have happily moved onto the youth edition (same language, cooler cover, 'teen relevant' little inserts, but not too gimmicky). The style of this one is probably best for pre-teen - go for the youth one after that.
This is not a book of Bible stories (though there are plenty of good ones around), and I'd agree that the paper is a little thin. The problem is that this is a complete Bible, not a Reader's Digest version, so thicker paper would make it pretty hard to read in bed (which in my experience is where our girls use it...)

I bought this for my 7yo, and was so impressed with it, I showed it to our vicar - who promptly bought some for Sunday Club! We even used this translation for our recent crib service!
My daughter loves reading it, and having it read to her.
In fact, can I confess to using it for myself, for some of the more difficult to understand parts of the bible?
I agree, the paper is thin, but if it were any thicker, the bible would be difficult to handle, due to its thickness!

It does what it says
This Bible is billed as a complete translation of the entire Bible, but with children in mind - unlike so many children's Bibles which either leave bits out, or retell stories in... Read more
