 Excellent Bible! November 25, 2007
SFMC (Michigan)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an excellent Bible for upper elementary kids. We give this Bible out to our 3rd graders every year and use it in our children's ministry classes. I can understand the reviewer who is worried about some of the "Sticky Situations". However, the reality is that most upper elementary aged kids are already starting to think about most of these things or will be very soon. The "Sticky Situations" are well done and useful in helping kids through these kind of things and making good choices.

We give this bible to all our third graders. Then we hold a class for third graders and their parents where they work together to discover all the "special effects" that attract kids to this particular bible. The kids end up loving their new bibles!
 "Moderately helpful, but there are better choices in this genre..." December 30, 2005

This is a wonderful concept, but like the adult version, some of the 'applications' are more obvious than they are unique.
As said by a previous reviewer, this is more for teens than preteens. The work is nicely organized, and (I feel) moderately helpful. Rather than getting this for your teen however, consider a good study bible, and allow the youth to glean the applications through study, and your personal insight.
Although better than a bible with no 'helps' at all, I cannot say this is the best use of $$ for parents trying to help their son/daughter learn the bible.
If you are looking for really good 'applications' style that teens (and others) really enjoy, I would suggest the format used in a book about Revelation for Teenagers called: "Dragons, Grasshoppers & Frogs!". This format really nails it, and was written by a teacher.
The author did a similar style in another book (about Joseph), but it is more adult Christian oriented.
"Kid's" Bible? GREAT for young teens - NOT for preteens. December 20, 2003

If you are looking for a Bible that is easy to understand (this is the New Living Translation which reads very much like the Living Bible) for a "kid," i.e., preteen, you might want to look for a different Bible than this. My wife and I both believe this would be a great first Bible for a young teen not raised in a godly home, but several of the themes in the "Sticky Situations" are a little to "sticky" for a preteen. (Our credentials for this assessment? A married daughter with 3 children, a 23 year old son, a 15 year old son, and 20 years of ministry combined with the academic ingredients, blah, blah blah!) :) A few of the "Sticky Situations" from the approximately 50 that are found at various places in the "Kid's Bible" that make this Bible more suitable for a teen than a preteen... Example #1: This one is placed in the Song of Solomon on page 730..."A few years ago, you weren't interested in the opposite sex. In fact, you didn't want anything to do with them. Lately, however, you've been changing and have even found yourself thinking about love and sex. The DJs on your favorite radio station talk about sex all the time..." Example #2: On page 1012..."Lately, you've been having fun with some of the kids who live a few blocks away. You've spent some time with them after school and on the weekend. Recently, they have been talking about forming a club. The only problem is that there's an initiation..." Example #3: On page 1221..."You are not allowed to see PG-13 movies. When you asked your parents if you could go to a movie tonight, they said OK because the movie is rated G. Your dad drops you and your friends off at the theater, and you all buy your tickets. But once inside, your friends walk past the G movie and head for one rated PG-13..." The "Sticky Situations" vignettes are a helpful way to encourage the young reader to evaluate their heart in light of God's Word using real life situations, and for that it is very commendable, but not for a preteen.
Disapointed In Bible. August 7, 2002
Wendy Bardsley (Grass Valley, Ca USA)

I recently purchased this bible for my 10 year old son. My husband and I both have life application bibles and love them. I'm sorry to say while there are some good attributes to this bible...overall I was disapointed. It is missing some key things: this is not a red letter bible therefore making it very difficult for a child to know when exactly Jesus is speaking, it's missing a dictonary & concordance in the back and most of all it's missing the one thing that's makes an application bible an application bible...it's missing ALL the explanations for verses etc at the bottom of the page! If you're just looking for a basic bible w/out red letter this would be perfect for you. But, if you are buying it thinking you're getting an actual life application bible I'm afraid you'll be greatly disapointed.
