Bring the Word of God to life for your 6- to 10-year-olds with this engaging New Testament. Neely's frame-by-frame comic-book-style art parallels actual Scripture---not a paraphrase---to help youngsters see who's speaking and the context of the scene. A great way to encourage learning and find out that it's fun to read the Bible! 640 pages, 6.5" x 9.25" x 1.25" hardcover from Nelson.

One of the best tools you can have to bring your children closer to God's Word - very realistic pictures, not like cartoon style illustrations in other children's Bibles, these are real life art AND REAL Bible - not talking down to children, but helping them hear the whole thing, not just stories... If I could, I would buy this for all the children I know - but for right now at least my own have this Bible to help us study God's Word, and I can't wait till they publish the Old Testament now!!

FIVE STAR RATING !!!This Bible is excellent ! And best of all, it is suitable for all ages. I am a senior citizen, and I grew up on the KJ Bible, then transitioned over to the NIV. This Bible is true to scripture, the verses are numbered, and the pictures absolutely enhance the reading and understanding of the chapters.
My husband is also enjoying this Bible.
I am hoping that an ICB Old Testament Bible will be coming out-- I would love to see all of the Old Testament stories illustrated in the same way. What a great Bible resource for everyone!

Words just can't say how good this book is. You would have to see it to beleive it. I first saw one that my son bought for his son and it impressed me so much that I bought one for my Sunday School class. I wish there was the whole Bible.

This book is COOL. I'm an adult and I enjoy reading it. It would be great for kids to read and be able to see in picture form what they are reading about. Too bad it's only the New Testament. They should think about printing The Old Testament also.

This book is great for Deaf people that have a lower level of English. The pictures are what helps them make sense of the bible.

My 8 and 10 yr olds love it. It makes the bible more interesting for them to read and understand. I also bought Acts and Mark.
