Gospel Gadgets writes:It is packed with resources that I will mention in a moment, but the thing that immediately stood out to me was the content of the Bible stories that are included. The way it works is the full text of the ESV is contained in the Bible. As selected passages occur in the Bible there are full page illustrations of a scene of that story and a 2 page story or summary of the Biblical passage. These stories are basically re-tellings of the passage in a way that may be easier for children to grasp. This is certainly nice, but you may be saying that there is nothing new as far as that is concerned. Well, there’s more. And this is the most important part. The stories that I have read so far are faithful to the text, helpful in explaining the text, and amazing in connecting the story to 1. the gospel of Jesus and 2. how it affects us. After the stories are 3 key questions that really are helpful and thoughtful questions that point us to the meaning of the text and it’s application to us. The back of the dust jacket says it is for children ages 5 to 9, but there is no age group that won’t benefit from the concise, clear, and theologically compelling Bible stories contained in this book.Read the rest.

Got this a week ago for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She opened it last night and is loving it. The illustrations are incredibly beautiful and it has a lot of study helps throughout. I think this will be an appropriate Bible for her well into her teen years.
