Review: NIV Boys Bible

From the publisher:
The NIV Boys Bible was created especially for boys ages 9 to 12 and helps them grow into the young men God wants them to be. Fun in-text features help boys dig deep into the Word and learn about amazing people, facts, and stories of the Bible.

My thoughts:
I was happy to be able to review the NIV Boys Bible since I have a 7 year old boy.  I liked the hardback cover as well as the size.  Inside the font is easy to read and a blue and orange color scheme is used.  There are several added features of this Bible.  One is called "What's the Big Deal?"  These little boxes focus on a short passage of scripture and give an explanation of why this event or person is important.  Another feature is called "Makin' It Real," which is a short thought related to the scripture passage regarding something the boy can apply to his own life.  It also has verses for memorizing in "Words to Live by" boxes and some added fun facts that boys would find interesting in boxes called "Grossology."  I like how these features are scattered throughout the Bible and do not clutter up the text.  Each book also begins with a concise introduction about the author of the book, why it was written, and important parts of the book. 

From a Mom's perspective, I know this Bible appealed to my son when it arrived in the mail.  I think this would be a great Bible for a young preteen boy. 

Caleb's thoughts:
I liked that it had little boxes of words to read.  These help you understand more about the Bible.  I liked it because it wasn't in cursive.  The words were easy to read, but there were some big words too.  I like the cover because it looks like a truck bed.  This is really a good Bible.  You should read it.  There was not anything about it I didn't like.

I received a copy of this Bible from The B&B Media Group for my honest review. 

Have a day of blessings!
