Bible School Teacher's dream come true! 
2008-06-19
This Bible is absolutely wonderful. At the start of each book it tells who wrote the book if known and why the book is important. The text is written in plain English much easier for kids to understand (and myself). There are side texts with sugessted activities and additional explanation of significant stories. I LOVE this Bible - this is the one I read personally now myself and I don't know how I would get through Bible School without it!

Love the historical/background information. This is a good resource for helping today's kids identify with the Bible's historical figures, cultures, and lessons. Without completely altering the poetic language, it offers activities and ideas to improve comprehension and help children see the relevance of the text to their own lives.

I purchased this as a first bible for my 6 year old son. There are bursts of fast facts and passages paraphrased to make it easier for browsing. My son enjoys reading these and even for adults like myself, the background informations are helpful.
The generous amount of illustrations captures his attention and aids in his comprehension of certain passages of the bible.
I can surely say this is the best thing I've bought for my son.

Wonderful source of auxiliary Bible information 2007-06-11
To clarify some things -- I am the daughter of the owner of this amazon account. I, however, felt obliged to write a review of this Bible. I was given this Bible as a gift when I was years younger, but I probably only read several pages. At that time I do remember feeling that the editors overly simplified things for children (As a child, I disliked anything directed to children--I had distaste for the Bible immediately when I saw the title, "The Adventure Bible"), but I had no understanding of the Bible, and I did not know what was truly written in it. Now, however, I enjoy reading this Bible, because I have matured to where I am not bothered by the graphics and wordings aimed toward children, but can apply it to my own life. I am 16 (I started reading the Bible at 15), and I find that much of the supplementary information is very helpful in my overall understanding of the entire Bible. It has allowed me to grow in many ways. It provides information on the meanings behind the Hebrew words, cultural trends of the age, shows facts about Biblical research, including dates, measurements, places, individuals, etcetera. . . It also gives advice by taking examples from the Bible.
In first chapter of Genesis, it says in a 'Did You Know?' section that the Bible word create means to make or to begin something new. I find that that there is a wealth of information. Let me give you another example: in Matthew chapter 23 there is a 'Life in Bible Times' section at the bottom of the page that says, "When Jewish men prayed, many tied special boxes containing Bible verses to their arm and forehead. These were called phylacteries (fa-LAC-ter-eez). Jesus criticized men who did this as a way to make people think they were especially holy."
This is referring to Matthew 23:5, where it only says "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long. ." I would not have understood if not for the commentary. It is truly great Bible! It is also my aunt's favorite Bible. In almost every page there is something they add that efficiently helps the reader learn and understand. It is just as much for adults as for children.
Inviting and educational 2007-06-01
I bought two copies of this NIV children's Bible for my 7 and 10 year old kids. They were immediately excited about all of the "extras" found throughout this Bible. It has all of the regular text found in an NIV edition -- but little key facts/history on each page, along with information on each key leader/king named in the Bible, even saying how their reign was (good or bad). I highly recommend this Bible for 5th-7th graders. I think that it may be too difficult for younger children. The only problem is that the product picture on this website shows three different colors and I didn't see a choice of colors -- both of our Bibles are blue.
Adventure Bible just as advertised 2007-05-23
Good representation. Lacks Hebraic background... fine for a beginner.
