Children's Easy-to-Read New Testament

My granddaughter loved this Bible. It has many great pictures that tell many of the Bible stories. Great gift for my 9 yr old granddaughter!

My granddaughter loves the book

As a former Sunday school teacher I jumped at the opportunity to order this bible for one of my students who was and is still mentally challenged. She has had it for some and is still enjoying it.

People disagree on which Bible translation or version is the best. In making a decision one must consider the purpose of your reading and whether the Bible has any study aids at all. The purpose of this translation is to make it easy to read for people with a limited English vocabulary, and I might add, for people who want to read quickly through the Bible without having to worry much about word meanings. It is in standard English, not colloquial, as is The Message Bible (which can be a very enlightening translation, but it is colloquial.) Some Bible translations with the same intent of readableness may be better or worse technically or in the beauty in individual verses. This Bible reaches the readability goal.Furthermore, compared to some other readable, affordable translation editions, this one has a very good introduction explaining the basic history of the Jewish people from Abraham through Jesus. It is really clear and excellent. Individual books are not introduced.When a person is ready they can progress to a translation which uses more of the liturgical or traditional words that are used in more traditional translations.They have a glossary which is called "Word List" and basic black and white maps. Personally I consider having maps is essential to any version of the Bible. In the individual books there references to similar verses elsewhere in the Bible.I highly recommend this Bible edition.

Note the highlighted verses in my picture: Parents be cautious in perpetuating the lie that women have no place to speak in the church. These particular verses have been manipulated to change their contextual meaning. In the original language, after verse 35 there is an expletive of disassociation that would indicate that Paul is not making a statement here, he is asking a question! After asking them this question, he corrects this wrong theology by asking more questions in verse 36. He’s presenting food for thought. Not stating that women must be silent in church. Check this verse out in some other translations like the NKJV where verse 36 begins with the question “WHAT?” as if to imply that this idea of silencing women is absurd (which it is).I strongly caution any parent who hands this Bible to their young children.I can’t believe that anyone who has actually read the rest of the Bible can believe that God created women to be less than equal to men in ministry or in life. This is obviously intentionally leading children to perceive women as a subservient being. They’re blatantly pushing an agenda here.

Great for kids

Formerly known as the English Version for the Deaf. This is the Bible that I give to new believers and young people. The language is very accessible for those that do not understand biblical language. This is not a book for scholarship or research. This is book that you can use to really explain the intricacies of the text. It is very well footnoted to give additional insight to difficult passages. I use it every week for teen Bible studies and give it to newcomers regularly. If you're using something else and it's not working you want to give this a try. I can almost assure you that you will never go back to what you were using previously.

We love this bible. My daughter is 9 yrs old and struggles in school with reading. We bought this bible for her for Christmas. What appealed upon looking at it was a "bible format" but easier to read then the "normal-age requirements" at regular Christian stores. This bible uses more kid-friendly words and explanations then the normal bible for children. I've looked for "this-type of bible" for over 2 yrs and could not find one anywhere. I finally found one at Walmart on clearance and wished there was 2 more but not. Looked it up on here and found them =) Absolutely perfect for kiddos who struggle with reading and comprehension.

I love this bible, my 5 and a half-year-old loves this bible. It has colourful artwork, and it is easy to read. I love the translation and the font choice.This will be the bible I recommend for kids.Super fast shipping was an added bonus.

Quite nice for the young ones to learn of creation and Jesus Christ.

Excellent bible. Text is large and easy to read. Pictures are well . Language is very easy for kids from age 9. Kids find is it interested to read it daily

Nachdem ich mich mit Englisch ziemlich schwer tue, habe ich gedacht, dass ich es mit der Easy to Read Bible einfach mal versuche u. ich bin echt total begeistert, wie einfach die sich lesen lässt u. wieviel ich davon verstehe. - Einfach gut. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Our 7 year old loves this version of the Bible.
