Versatile (6/7 people found this helpful)
We came across this Bible in one of our church families, & now use it with the children reading at Family Services. The children (even those aged up to about 8) feel very comfortable with it, & because they don't have to struggle with words are able to communicate that much more effectively. Adults in the congregation are happy to listen to it, to hear the Bible from a new, different and sometimes startlingly clear angle, and as the Vicar I find that it speaks to me and provides new insights for my own faith.
Much more so even than the Lion Children's Bible.
A wonderful way to introduce children to the Bible (7/8 people found this helpful)
The Lion First Bible is a wonderful introductory version of the Bible for children. As an Infant teacher I have searched many a time for suitable reading matter to introduce young children to the Bible. After purchasing this book I had to look no more. The stories need no precising and children fully understand their content. If you are looking to buy a young child a Bible then look no further.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome (17/19 people found this helpful)
This was wonderful for my 3 year old to listen to during her "quiet" time (time she plays by herself.) She hears many popular bible stories from this audio cassette, but also some that aren't usually children's fare, like Elijah, etc. She knows her Bible better than me, I think! She always asks for it. It is the exact reading of the "God's Word" bible by Pat Alexander. Cribbins, the narrator, has a British accent, which I actually consider a bonus. I like the fact that my daughter is exposed to a different English sound. And the accent isn't so thick that it is difficult to understand. Great!
child friendly, yet still covering the serious stuff (17/18 people found this helpful)
My 5 and 7 year old love this bible. It covers the main stories of both old and new testament in accessible ways, while still handling complex issues such as pentecost accurately. My 7 year old enjoyed reading it to herself as her reading improved. Even her non-churchgoing best friend loved it as a birthday present.
Well done Lion!
Brilliant way to introduce Bible stoies to your child (15/16 people found this helpful)
This 'child-friendly' Bible is a great way of starting your childs experience of the stories in the Bible. The stories have been well & accurately adapted for the youg reader/ listener. Our 3 year old loves to have all the stories read to her over & over again.
