Do your kids ask you those tough, neverending questions about God's word or God in general? Maybe they ask questions like, "Why does God let wars happen?" or,"Where does God live?" There's also the very popular question, even if it goes without asking, "Why can't I have all of the things that I want?" Maybe YOU're asking these questions, as well.
Kid's Quest NIrV Study Bible is a Bible like no other. This Bible is specifically designed with the kids who ask all the questions in mind. It has a colorful cover that instantly attracts the eyes. When you open the cover, you're welcomed with a "Who this Bible Belongs To:" page. It has lines for you to put your child's name in it to personalize the Bible. Kids love making things their own by having their name on it! It makes things so much more special for them.
The next few pages go on to explain how to navigate this particular Bible and the pages also answer questions about why it is written the way it is written. The colorful writing draws you in and makes things more easy to read. The only thing about the colorful writing, there's no words written in red. The words that Jesus says in a traditional Bible, are red. I was disappointed about this, but it didn't turn me away completely.
There is a Table of Contents dividing the books of the Bible into Old Testament and New Testament. There's also a Table of Contents with the books of the Bible in alphabetical order. At the end of the book, there is a dictionary and a Topical Index.
At the beginning of each book of the Bible, there is a short understandable explanation of the book and some of the things that you will find out in the book. The explanation states who wrote the book, why the book was written, what happens in the book, what we learn about God in the book, who is important in the book, and when the book took place.
Throughout each book there are "Kids' Question" bubbles at the bottom of the pages. These are the questions that this particular version of the Bible was designed for. It has the question, the answer to the question, and biblical scripture supporting the answer to the question. There is also a cute little cartoon picture with each question that makes learning about the answers more fun.
There is also some Quest Challenges, Quest Clues, Real Life Challenges, and some ponderings for kids to expand their thoughts with.
I enjoyed reading through this Bible and showing things to my boys. Both of my boys are still too young to be asking very many questions, but I'm sure they'll be there soon. I'm excited to share with them the answers to the tough questions and have scripture references to back up what I say. Plus, I'm a children's director and I have some younger kids in my church that I'm sure will benefit from this Bible.
I would highly recommend this Bible to anyone that gets asked those tough questions that you have to sometimes just answer, "I don't know." to. This Bible is designed so you don't have to always say that. Whether it be kids or even new christians. This Bible was designed to help us all understand the things that sometimes seem like you can't understand them.
I received a free copy of this Bible in exchange for an honest review from BookLookBloggers.
