Beginning Reader's Bible: A Great First Bible

I just received my copy of The Beginning Reader’s Bible from Thomas Nelson Publishers. It is a Children’s Bible that has been magnificently illustrated by Marijke ten Cate. I have to say this is the best book I have received to review for free by the Booksneeze program. This Bible contains many stories from both the Old and New Testament. I appreciate that it uses actual Biblical text to tell the stories. Please bear in mind that it is from the Children’s translation of the Bible, so it is more easily accessible to the child reader. That is to say that some of the deeper concepts are watered down, but the framework for teaching them is there. At the same time, most pages include a memory verse, scripture teaching principle, or idea of how to learn to follow God. Now, back to the art. The art is great. The pages are not thin. They are durable thick pages that hold full page, full color art. The art brings the stories to life and would definitely capture a child’s attention.


So, the question: would I recommend this book? Absolutely. We were even discussing who the first people would be that we could buy this for. It is a great product and it is at a good price. Go out and get one for a family that you know and love, or get one for your school age child.
