My six and seven year old boys have finished their story Bibles, and I thought this would be too dry for them, but decided to give it a try anyway. Surprisingly, they love it, and when I tried to go back to the story Bible they objected strongly, wanting to go back to the "day-by-day". However, I was disappointed that a Bible marketed to 7-10 year olds includes some of the things it does. I guess I shouldn't have been - after all the description clearly states that it includes the entire Bible, just reworded to an appropriate reading level, and omitting (pg xi) "...sexual scenes, and graphic violence." When the ten commandments came up number seven says, "Have sex only with your wife or husband" to which my seven year old immediately asked, "what's sex?" I simply stated that sex is what mommies and daddies do to make a baby, and he seemed satisfied and moved on. I think perhaps that at seven they're not ready for the whole Bible. I do like this Bible. So far it is true to scripture (unlike some of the other story Bibles I've come across). The language is clear and concise, though it lacks the flow and beauty you would expect from a story Bible. So I would not put this in a category with story Bibles. But neither is it a translation. I guess its more like a paraphrase.My kids seemed to miss the implication, but I was wondering if the story of Joseph and the "Captain's" wife was going to bring up questions. She writes, "Now the captain's wife saw that Joseph was very handsome, so she said to Joseph, 'Come and be like a husband to me!' But Joseph wouldn't... She took hold of Joseph's coat. 'Come and be like a husband to me!' she said. Joseph ran out of the house. He left his coat in her hands. Then the captain's wife called her servants. 'See this?' she said.
