Young boys and girls need heroes - brave men and women who fight against evil with powerful weapons and supernatural strength. Think this only happens in the movies or comic books? Think again. The Bible is full of super heroes - Noah's Ark, Moses defying Pharaoh and parting the Red Sea, Deborah leading the war cry, Samson's jawbone, David's slingshot, and the miracles of Jesus - the ultimate superhero of all time. The NIrV Super Heroes Bible is a full-text Bible in the New International Reader's Version written at a third grade reading level. With a 3-D effect on the cover and metallic ink on the interior tip-ins, the intense, action packed art by Dennis Jones pops off the pages and into the 21st century. Over 200 character sketches of Bible men, women, and kids - from Genesis to Revelation - are scattered throughout, helping children learn what it takes to be a hero of faith. Special character builders called "Power Surge" highlight Bible verses that show character traits, like bravery, truthfulness, and faith. This is perfect Bible to start children on a pattern of regular Bible study.

I bought this bible for my son when he became interested in reading the bible himself instead of having me read to him. This was a great first bible for him. The translation is easy to understand without watering down the word and the notes and excerpts really help him think about what he is reading and identify with the various "super heroes". I actually use some of the material in it time to time as a resource for my Sunday School class. I'd say it's a great bible for boys (or adventurous girls) that can read pretty well on their own (ages 7-11).

I bought this Bible as a Christmas present for my 6 year old son. Up until now, he has had no interest in reading the Bible. Now, he wants to know when "quiet time" is so he can look at his new Bible! He loves the pictures and even tries to read the text! (He's just learning to read) I'm so glad to see him excited about the Bible now.

My 3rd grade Sunday school students use this Bible for looking up scripture and reading verses. This Bible is great for 3rd graders and beyond. It is written in NIrV so the students can comprehend what they are reading and apply it to their lives.

GREAT BIBLE! I love this Bible--but not just for boys. Girls can be superheroes too! In fact I like the way Deborah, Hannah, and other women were included. I'd recommend it to anyone. I plan to use it with my primary Sunday School class.
