In my church, the kids are told to bring along their bibles for Children's Church once they turn 7 years old. So Papa Isaiah went to buy a bible for Joey, and in my opinion, it's probably going to be the best gift he can ever give to Joey. It is a gift that will guide her entire life. :)
We were advised by the Children's Church teachers to get her a NIrV bible (New International Reader's Version) for easy reading as a start. I didn't even know there is such a version, haha! Joey's bible is a study bible, so it is very thick and heavy. But I reckon since she only needs to bring it to church once a week, it should be fine?
There is a introduction of every book in the bible - I like it that it's in simple English and easy-to-understand phrases.
At various sections of the bible, there are also prompt questions inserted to aid the child in thinking deeper into the stories and verses. I was initially a little worried that a study bible would be too complicated for a kid just starting out, but the questions are catered to the level of the kid. It also provides a good platform for us to have a bible discussion with Joey - Such a great idea.
Apart from the discussion questions, there are also snippets of information everywhere about the lives of the people during the time when the bible was written. Pretty interesting to read them. :)
Of course, being a kid's bible, there are colourful illustration pages inserted here and there - All to help the kid stay interested in the Word of God. :)
If you are looking for a bible for your kid, I would recommend this NIrV Study Bible. :)
Our prayer is that our little girl will grow in her love and understanding of the Word of God, and grow up to be a great woman of God. :)
