Summary: Adventure Bible, NIV, Revised
Review: An excellent gift Bible for middle elementary young people which will carry them into their teen years. Excellent pictures, explanatory notes, and guides for young readers. The teachers in our church school enjoy working with it, and the students are actually reading it at home and bringing it to church with them!

Review: 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.

Summary: Recommended by our Christian School
Review: My 11 year old son has this Bible and we use it to do our family devotions. There are 'Lets Live It' sections that point out a specific Bible passage and then ask some questions to solidify our understanding and make the Bible relevent to our lives today.

Other attractive qualities include "did you know?",with definitions of difficult terms, "words to remember" and "Bible times" all geared to increase undrestanding of God's word. There are also brightly colored pages with the ten commandments, 12 disciples and other important information. There are also maps in the back.

I would recommend it for anyone from 8-15 and parents like it too.

Summary: The Best-Selling English-Language Bible for Children
Review: 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.
