This Bible is absolutely wonderful. At the start of each book it tells who wrote the book if known and why the book is important. The text is written in plain English much easier for kids to understand (and myself). There are side texts with sugessted activities and additional explanation of significant stories. I LOVE this Bible - this is the one I read personally now myself and I don't know how I would get through Bible School without it!

Love the historical/background information. This is a good resource for helping today's kids identify with the Bible's historical figures, cultures, and lessons. Without completely altering the poetic language, it offers activities and ideas to improve comprehension and help children see the relevance of the text to their own lives.

I purchased this as a first bible for my 6 year old son. There are bursts of fast facts and passages paraphrased to make it easier for browsing. My son enjoys reading these and even for adults like myself, the background informations are helpful.
The generous amount of illustrations captures his attention and aids in his comprehension of certain passages of the bible. I can surely say this is the best thing I've bought for my son. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-01-04 06:28:03 EST)

The Adventure Bible is the best-selling English-language Bible for children--and with good reason, for it offers a host of sidebar and special page annotations specifically designed to appeal to children between the ages of eight and twelve. These highlights include "Life In Bible Times," "People In Bible Times," "Words to Treasure" (popular verses), "Did You Know?" and "Let's Live It!" (suggested activities.) These not only amplify the text, but create a colorful layout that make the pages more attractive to children.
Even so, the designation of THE ADVENTURE BIBLE as "a kid's Bible" is a little misleading; this is not a collection of Bible stories, but a full translation of the Protestant-recognized texts from Genesis to Revelations. Both language and content can be quite complex, and quite frankly I am no great fan of the NIV translation itself, which I find questionable in certain aspects. Whatever the case, it will be an unusual child indeed who can tackle this material on his or her own; parental assistance will be indispensible.

I bought this bible for my 10-year-old nephew, who doesn't like to read and is always put off by thick books with few pictures. Because this bible is geared for young people and also has a provocative title, my nephew is more likely to open it up, or at least sit with me while we read it together. I like the approach this bible takes in presenting scripture as an "adventure" and it seems to attract my nephew as well. And, not insignificantly, this version is priced right too. I bought him the paperback edition thinking that I will get him a nice leather-bound bible when he is older and more prepared to take care of a finely bound copy. All in all, a very good bible for a young person.
