Like many Christian parents, I desire to see my children read the Bible on their own. I have purchased other children's Bibles but 2 columns of black/red words on a page just don't hold my 9 year old son's attention. I found the Book of Matthew (illustrated by Keith Neely) and gave it to my son for Christmas. He devoured it during the month of January, often times even bringing it to school with him to read during recess! Instead of buying each NT book available separately, we gave our son the complete New Testament!He likes the comic book-like pictures and stories. I like how this kids Bible stays true to the biblical text. Although my son doesn't read every single day, on his own his nose is in the Book regularly because this Bible has what it takes to motivate him to take in its truths. I highly recommend it... especially for boys.
My 6 year old son used to not ejoy reading. When I came across this book at a Christian book store, I grabbed it because I was desperate to find any books that he might be interested in reading. From the time we bought this book which has been about 6 months ago, he has read it almost everyday and asks me to read it to him every night! He loves it and I would have to say, it is probably his favorite book to read! This Bible has given him an amazing love for the Scriptures. Every day he reads a new passage and asks me to read the same passage in my Bible so we can talk about it together. I recommend this Bible to ANYONE--children or adults who have a hard time reading the Bible or anything else for that matter. It will bring God's Word to life!
The book is an immediate hit for my 8-year-old son! He's often enjoyed reading his own children's bible, and now, he opens his bible and comic book and read them simultaneously, side-by-side. The illustrations in this book help supply mental images to the things he's reading, creating a deeper impression and facilitating learning and memory. The books is originally purchased for my son, but now even I enjoy reading it. Once you start reading it, you can't stop! The pictures are beautiful, and the book does not sacrifice content accuracy by omitting bible verses; all the verses are present. Great supplement and companion for a regular bible.
My 7 year old girl cannot put this bible down. She enjoys reading it. The pictures help her remember God's word! She has already completed the 4 gospels. Wonderful!!!
Dear Parents:If you want your child to grow in the Lord by studying His Word and to also keep their interest in the Word, then I Highly recommend this book. It is also a great tool for witnessing to children. Kids will tell other children about this book because it is exciting and it is word for word with pictures to help explain the text even more. The author doesn't drift off with his own theology. He sticks to the Word of God. So your child will be getting the raw milk, meat, bread, and honey of the Word.By reading this Illustrated Bible, your child will grow leaps and bounds ahead of other children. He or she will be able to answer biblical questions that will even surprise adults. My children can't put it down. Isn't it a good problem when you have to make your children put the Bible down to go to bed or eat dinner and so on? Well that is what this Bible will bring into the lives of your children.I also highly recommend the Illustrated New Testament to Sunday School teachers. I guarantee your class will love it.I'm going to tell you a secret, I enjoy reading it too. Don't tell anybody. Smile. I, as an adult can't wait to turn it to the next page to look at the pictures as well as read the Word. What an exciting Bible.Ardree
Although the words are the same, the pictures bring the Bible to life. It is somewhat easier to find references (rhetorical quotes) or who is actuall speaking since most of the New Testament is made of speeches or narratives.
This Bible is AMAZING! Our kids are 8, 5 and 4 and they ASK us to read it daily! Our 5-yr-old son learned how to read this year and he will happily spend hours reading it. The pictures bring the text to life, and the text is very true to Scripture. It even includes chapter and verse markings. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any parent who wants their child to be excited about reading God's Word.
This Bible features bright comic book style pictures. It is engaging for young readers as it helps the reader better visualize the stories. The text is still standard translation. My 7 year old son has devoured it since the day we gave it to him. He read through Matthew in only a few days. It is not a "children's Bible" written in storybook form. If you want a story style Bible to read aloud to young children, I'd recommend the Jesus Storybook Bible or the Gospel Story Bible.
