EXCELLENT BIBLE FOR KIDS

I GOT THIS FOR MY NEPHEW, WHO UNTIL NOW THE ONLY BIBLE STORIES HE HAD WERE CHRISTIANS EVENTHOUGH WE ARE CATHOLIC! (i know, christians are just easier to find) I DECIDED TO FINALLY GET HIM SOMETHING CATHOLIC TO USE AS REFERENCE AND HELP UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE ABOUT OUR FAITH. EVERYONE LOVED IT, ESPECIALLY HIS MOTHER, GREAT STORIES, NOT TOO LONG, BEST FOR READING BEFORE BED TIME. HE ENJOYED IT A LOT.

A Catholic Children's Bible that Catches Children's Interest

I first purchased this Catholic Children's Bible for one of my daughters when she was about 9 years old. I encouraged her to read a story from it each night before she went to sleep. She told me that the pictures were so interesting that she would find that she just had to read the story to see what was happening. The stories are true to the scriptures and reflect traditional Catholic Doctrine. The pictures are colorful, dramatic and painted in a realistic manner.I believe that the pictures help the child to develop a reverent attitude toward the scripture stories. Each story has a picture that accompanies it and the stories are not long. I personally believe that Bible story books that are illustrated with cartoonlike characters tend to promote an irreverent attitude toward the stories.If you are looking for a Bible story book that a child can read by him or her self, then I would think that this would best fit the 7-12 year old reader, depending on reading ability. It is a Bible story book that is traditionally Catholic and I have given many as First Communion gifts.

Wonderful Way to Teach Children the Faith

I read this book to my kids (ages 7 & 9) every night. It is nicely organized, and I just pick a story out, most are about a 5-10 minute read. This book is very orthodox, for example the author does an excellent job of explaining the Eucharist, and emphasizing that it is the true body and blood of Christ.
