ESV Children's Bible (Blue)

Visually compelling and uses the actual ESV text. Inasmuch as I read and write Biblical Greek, I can say that the New Testament ESV text is a very faithful translation of the original everywhere I have examined it including a book length review of Revelation. I do not read Hebrew or Aramaic, but the translation committee of the Old Testament is a who's who of Hebrew scholars (as is the case for the New Testament committees as well).I prefer an actual translation for children's Bibles; that way, all stories are told in their entirety without all the (otherwise necessary but occasionally less than accurate) editorial one finds in other children's Bibles which at best are paraphrases. Moreover, even young children are surprisingly adept at asking amazing questions when reading from an adult text. Children deserve credit for this amazing faculty, and running into a tough word or phrase is a great way to introduce kids to a lifelong habit of inquiry, question, struggle, and resolution so necessary for critical thinking.I also am very happy with the illustrations. They are remarkably well done. (I am in the process of putting together a watercolor series for the book of Revelation, so I am sensitized to the skill on display in this Bible's illustrations.) This Bible is such a visual joy, I'm thinking of getting another copy just for myself.

My 5 year old loves the pictures!

Great for kids to learn about God and Jesus (this is from my 7 year old)

Act Like Men! Not be brave. Thanks ESV for accurate translation.

I gave this as a Christmas gift. It was very much loved

Great bible

I bought this Bible for my son who needed it for school. I wanted something that he would be able to read and that had some pictures to capture his attention. This Bible did just that! The pages are slightly thicker than normal Bibles but not by much. However the illustrations and pictures are amazing and exactly what I was looking for!

I purchased this for my 6yr old daughter as she was required to have the ESV bible for her school... we typically read from the KJV but this one is great!.. pages are thin but not as thin as some of my other bibles & it has several beautiful illustrations, maps & timelines. It is also a good size & not to large for a younger child to carry around. This is just Gods word & no footnotes or interpretations like you might find in a study Bible. Loved it so much I purchased a second one for us to keep at home & the other for her school.

I love it!!

The hardcover makes this perfect for young children. Easy to read and beautiful illustrations that make a great talking point.

Great bible. Nice illustrations and little devotionals.

Good for kids....the picture quality is perfect

The best bible gift I have ever gifted my daughter, easy to comprehend and the pictures make it not boring to her she is 11years old . Got it as an Easter present.
