Summary: Easy to Use, Resonably Priced Children's Bible
Review: After previewing a number of different bibles available for elementary aged children, our church school chose this one for its easy to use organization. Each book has a brief summary and a Table of Contents. The illustrations are better than most - pleasant but not too sappy. There is no illustration of Abramham with a knife poised over Issac's throat and the people shown are believably middle eastern with a variety of races included. The translation is the contemporary English version, which seems to be the standard for children's bibles. Headings make it fairly easy for children to locate the passage they're looking for so Bible study discussions are not consumed with trying to get everyone on the same page! Maps and supplimentary material are helpful in familarizing the children with the organization of the bible. Overall we thought it was the best choice of the ones we reviewed.
