Aside from Sunday mass readings I had no clue where to start…except for at the beginning. Of course that didn’t last long. To do so, and to show God my gratitude, last year, end of 2022, I promised God I would read his story once and for all.The Adventure Bible NIV is suggested for 9-12 year olds. Indented thumb tabs and a “How to Use This Bible” introduction will help young readers get started on their exploration of God’s word. The Adventure Bible for Early Readers NIrV is the New International Reader’s Version with slight modifications in the reading level to accommodate the intended audience of 6-10 year olds. The Bible with authentically Catholic explanations of historical context, symbolism, and commonly challenged beliefs.

Many years ago I had promised myself to read the Bible in its entirety. After covid and the loss of several family members, the thought resurfaced. Both books offer the full text of the Bible (New International Version) along with teaching sidebars such as: “Words to Treasure”, “Did You Know?”, “Life in Bible Times”, “People in Bible Times”, and “Live It!”. A Subject Index, Dictionary/Concordance, and Maps offer added useful tools. The layout of the biblical text is wonderfully readable; its teaching enhancements, which give Catholics needed help in grasping the grand story of salvation history, are superb; and even the maps and charts are visually stunning. As with any full Bible, in the context of Scripture there is frank mention of drunkenness, nudity, and sex that parents may not expect to see in a children’s edition, particularly the NIrV.

Detailed charts giving a visual overview of important characters, key events, maps, major covenants, and historical context. I highly recommend this bible for personal or group reading, study, and to be challenged in your faith.
