If you have been reading my blog for long, you know that my husband and I buy our children Bibles. I would say at least 3 before they leave home. We want our children rooted in the Word. To us it's unacceptable to just send them to church and expect others to teach them about the Bible. We as parents have a HUGE responsibility in this too and it is to supply them with these things to not only teach them with but also for those that are old enough to venture out on their own. The Beginners Bible products are a brilliant idea if you want to give your children something substantial to use to actual teach them the Bible.

They even have a Bible that I am sure would make a perfect gift for those children that need a "first" Bible and they are between the ages of years of age. This one is the New International Reader's Version and its simple to understand. The part my boys like the most are The Beginner's Bible Illustrations that are included. This Bible is a great idea for their first Bible. My Thoughts on this Bible I love the cover of this Bible, with the colors and fish, it is very appealing to children. But I was really disappointed when I opened the Bible up.

The font is very small, and pretty difficult to read. There are several things in this Bible that will help children with their Bible study.

The five page dictionary helps understand some of the words in the Bible, and the list of Great Bible Stories with verses to go along with the story are great tools to use with your children as they read this Bible. There are also several colorful pages throughout this Bible that are a beautiful addition. Overall, I don't think this is a Bible I would purchase for small children, because of the very small font.

I received this book from Blogging for Books to read and review. I really want to read this. Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama. This is a hardcover, jacketless Bible, perfect for your brick building, no matter the brand of brick minded child! When this Bible arrived I was unsure who was the most excited. While we are still working with Duplo Legos in our family and haven't really moved up to the standard size building bricks - I was concerned at first that I might have to go buy some to be able to get the most out of an experience with the pages and inspiration from this Faith Builders Bible, but I was so pleased to find there was plenty of inspiration to be had, even with the toddler-sized building blogs.

We have a plethora of children and youth Bibles, but lately on many occasions by request, we've been enjoying the Faith Builders Bible from Zonderkidz as part of our kiddo devotions. It is not officially associated with any specific brick building blocks brand and thus anything will do for the hands-on that is sure to follow from perusing these pages. At first, I was thinking that I would have to read them a story within scripture, and then encourage them to bring it to life.

I was thinking I would be on the floor and guiding along the way. Which to be honest is not quite my cup of tea. However, these girls ran wild with it and were immersed immediately. AppleBlossom is a great reader, so she read aloud while the Princess gathered appropriate blocks and they went to town. AppleBlossom was intrigued by the two-page spread which separated the books of the Bible by genre and names on each rectangular brick.

We do not have enough to label them all. It's fun and exciting and has given her a tangible way to practice and get silly and excited in her efforts to remember them all! I feel strongly that one of the ways to get a young person into the desire of spending time in God's word is through their interests. Connect with Zonderkidz on Social Media: As soon as our children can read, my wife and I are committed to giving them each a Bible and teaching them how to use it. Four of our five now have full title to their own copies of the Good Book, and said property has quickly become used, bumped, beaten, carried about, dropped, and otherwise handled with great frequency and fervor.

Hardbacks are a must at these young ages. The first two children to reach this milestone won themselves the ESV Grow! Bible, which appears to b As soon as our children can read, my wife and I are committed to giving them each a Bible and teaching them how to use it. Bible, which appears to be out of print now and drawing a high price on Amazon. Kids can struggle to figure out which words are Bible words and which words are not. This Bible is nice and clean, giving full attention to the sacred text while peppering it with full-page pictures of key stories.

This was great for her, but we still found our new reader struggling with the ESV translation. The words were too big, the sentences were too long, and she regularly lost her place. So we changed it up altogether for the fourth child. While our church uses the ESV, we wanted to make sure our child would develop motivation to read on her own. We went with the NIrV. Now our 3rd child 6 years old and our 4th child almost 5 years old generally share the NIrV.

Both love it and can read it well. Small price to pay to get a second NIrV in the house. I like many things about this Bible: Full-page pictures are scattered throughout. There is generally one small box of extras every pages though the frequency is higher in the gospels. This edition has limitations, of course. Because the sentences are so short, many words must be repeated, thus making the text longer than other translations.

It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it. He created us to belong to Christ Jesus. Now we can do good works. Long ago God prepared these works for us to do. The children do just fine listening to adults reading a mature translation. Ready to dive into the Bible with a catchy Under the Sea Theme?

NIrV, Discoverer's Bible for Early Readers, Revised Edition, by Zonderkidz PDF

Each of those pages, front and back, are incredibly cute with lots of eye appeal, and contain things geared just for kids. Those pages, which are full color and made of heavy weight paper, contain: There are no other pictures, maps or other supplemental material included in this Bible. Also, other than the presentation page along with the three special page inserts, the type of paper used for this Bible is the regular, very thin, onion-skin type of paper used in traditional Bibles. My concern is that six to ten year-old-fingers might have trouble turning those pages without tearing them.

Zonderkidz has done lots of things right in this Bible. Having a special version of the text geared towards children is also a wonderful idea. The cover is amazing, and the three supplemental pages are eye catching, and wonderfully creative, but that is where things stop. Since this is geared towards children, I would have liked to have seen at least six to nine or more "special" colorful pages in this Bible, along with a least one colorful map--more would be even better.

There is a lot that is good in this 4 star Bible, but I think a little bit more would have made this a great Bible for children.

When I gave it to him, he quietly sat in our living room analyzing the 24 full-color pages depicting scenes from scripture cleverly constructed out of bricks. Soon afterwards, he set to building his own Faith Builders inspired sets and reenacting favorite stories of his own. His excitement drew the attention of his younger sister and soon they were discussing the finite points of different passages and how they could best capture them using stop-motion animation.

In his own way he relayed how the pictures helped him recall the events of each story. He also noted that he liked the inclusion of scripture references with the photos because they made it easier for him to search out the stories for himself. As a mom, I was pleased by the creativity that the book inspired and the discussions it sparked.

The cover and the ins My Review I think this is a really cool Bible for kids, and its a study bible. The cover and the inside just says Kids! What better way to help a child want to carry and study their Bibles than to give them one they will like to carry and study. All of God's people. The Bible is awesome! This study Bible is the best one for me because it is easy to read and it explains stuff that I might not understand. It also fits in my Bible case! It was a school Bible but my mom uses her phone now so I am using this one. It also has really good pictures and some even kids drew!

This was my first bible, it was excellent. I think that this is a good version of the Bible for older kids and probably teenagers. We read selections from this bible throughout our 3rd grade year. I appreciate the easy 'readers' way the translation comes across, however tend to stay with NIV or KJV for memory work so we all know the verse wording the same. Originally posted at http: What do building bricks like Legos and the Bible have in common? Everything if you have the Faith Builders Bible from Zonderkidz.

Our family had a chance to review the Faith Builders Bible recently and I can assure you my kids have been having a lot of fun reading their Bible lately. The Faith Builders Bible from Zonderkidz is a New International Readers Version NIrV of the Bible that includes 24 pages of illustrations of brick building so your kids can see examples of their favorite Bible stories built with building bricks like Legos.

It not only features the pages of brick building illustrations, it also includes a table of contents, a dictionary, and an index of Great Bible Stories for quick reference of where to find them. Our Faith Builders Bible came in a hardcover format. My kids were very excited for this review, They love building with building bricks and they each have their own favorite Bible stories. They had never really thought of building Bible stories with their bricks so when we received the Faith Builders Bible in the mail, they were excited to open it and see what it was all about.

Very excited to get the Faith Builders Bible in the mail The kids enjoyed looking through the pages of illustrations to see which Bible stories were featured in building bricks. My son said that it helped him picture what may have been happening during the Bible stories and it has given him a new way to use his building bricks. My daughter enjoyed using the building bricks to create scenes and said that by creating the scenes she understood the stories a little better.

Both of my kids are visual learners so when they can see what they are learning about, it sticks with them better and this is one of the things I really appreciated about the Faith Builders Bible. I also enjoyed the fact that while the NIrV Bible is an easier version of the Bible to read, it worked for both of my kids - the 2nd grader and the 7th grader. They both used this Bible as part of their devotions and were able to get the information they needed from it for their appropriate age level.

As a mom, I was concerned that maybe my daughter who is not as experienced with building bricks as my older son would struggle to build the images and stories represented in this Bible, but she didn't have any issues with that. She was able to look at the pictures and build the scenes on her level and she was happy about what she built and that she built them on her own - a win for every body and this Bible! I also really like the fact that each illustration in the Bible also features a "Building Block Verse. My favorite thing about the Faith Builders Bible is that it has inspired my kids to play with the building bricks in a new way that keeps them learning about the Bible and God.

As they get better at building the scenes from the Bible, we can start searching through the verses for more details to add to our scenes which will have them studying the Bible more and that is a HUGE goal for our house. In addition to using the Faith Builders Bible for our daily devotions, we plan on using this during our family devotion times. We plan to continue to use it by my hubby or I reading a passage while the kids work on building scenes to represent what we are reading through.

This will keep them focused on the passage and getting the details out of it. We also plan to use this Bible in our Sunday School. We have been trying really hard to get out 4th-6th grade boys class to learn the books of the Bible in order and one of the very first pages in the Bible has this building brick illustration see the picture below this paragraph that we plan to use with our Sunday School class. I think it will help them to have the visual representation of the books of the Bible and further reinforce what we have been teaching. The Faith Builders Bible from Zonderkidz is a book that will get a lot of use in our own house and in our Sunday School class.

NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers Imitation Leather Purple Full Color

It implements two of our favorite things - the Bible and building bricks. I am all for books that get our kids thinking about God and His Word and this one definitely does that. We really liked the full color illustrations of the Bible scenes and that we could use any building bricks we had on hand to build the scenes. On some of the scenes it would have been nice to have step by step building instructions, but at the same time we liked that each child can use their own creative expression to create the scenes.

We definitely recommend this Bible for any building brick lovers out there. I was given a complimentary copy from Zonderkidz through Schoolhouse ReviewCrew, in exchange for an honest review.

It is actually based on the New International Version NIV , but has been made easier for children and those learning to read to understand. Some of the words are shorter, and some of the names and places have been inserted into the scripture to make it clearer for children. There are also sections labeled in a chapter or a title given to a set of paragraphs to help the child know what the significance of that section is about. My sons and I have been studying the Old Testament so far this year in our homeschool studies. It was an exceptional time for us to receive the Faith Builders Bible because some of the pictures cover the stories we have studied, such as the animals of Noah's Ark, and the Ten Commandments.

We also had an amazing time building the wall of Jericho out of building bricks, and trying to crash all of them down. This Bible is also versatile as it can be used with younger and older children. As a homeschool Mom, I loved that it has a dictionary in the back because you could use that for vocabulary lessons. I also enjoyed the quick reference guide for suggested stories. My sons thought being able to do a Bible lesson and make things with building bricks was pretty cool. The illustrations don't come with directions on how to build them. I was upset about that at first, but then I realized that the illustrations are there for visual aid.

It gave my sons a chance to be creative, and build the scene or event the way they imagined it would be. There was much effort and time that went into making this edition of the Bible. It really does seem that the publisher, Zonderkidz did a wonderful job in picking this Bible to be a NIrV because it was meant to be viewed by children. It is ingenious that they combined this edition with illustrations of Biblical events, built with building bricks.

I would definitely recommend this Bible to anyone who has a child that loves to build things with building bricks. How awesome would it be for a child to get to know the words of scripture because of this amazing concept of a Faith Builders Bible! Building bricks is not even just a boy thing anymore either! My niece asked for building bricks in girl colors of course! My sons love reading about Biblical stories and making things with building bricks, so this Bible has found a very special spot in our home.

This review posted on my blog on February 29, at: Zonderkidz June 30, Language: It's not perfect, and some readers will probably compare it with the venerated King James Version. But, for people who are not native English Speakers, especially children and those who have studied English as a Second Language, this will be an easy accessible read.

There are two main differences between the NIrV and Bibles for adult readers and native speakers. The first and main difference is how verses are broken down. Those of us who regularly read the Bible have gotten used to sentences that are run-on sentences or often one long clause after another linked together by commas, dashes, hyphens, and semi-colons. This version fixes all that.

For the most part, most of the semi-colons and commas have been changed to periods. This sometimes makes the Bible a bit clunky and sometimes there is a tiny bit of paraphrasing or repetition of the obvious but the verses become clearer. So there are many Bible verses which are no longer made of one sentence but of two or three. For instance, instead of "A time to be born, a time to die" KJV , there is now "There is a time to be born. And there's a time to die. The other main differences is in vocabulary.

This change is somewhat iffy at times. In fact, it's a very bad deal. But there are a few moments when a reader will miss the majesty of certain verses or will cringe at what seems like banal-phrasing. Kids, of course, will not be bothered by that. Other issues with the vocabulary occur when some spiritual meaning seems lost.
