I recently read through The Beginning Reader’s Bible compiled by Tama Fortner. I received this complementary book to review for Booksneeze. This children’s Bible uses select verses from the International Children’s Bible from both the Old Testament and New Testament. I’m guessing that it is for older children who already know how to read.
The book had good tools such as suggestions for a systematic reading of the Bible stories, verses to lead the child in praying God’s word, and activities to help children do God’s word. These are probably the unique attributes of this collection of Bible stories. The illustrations are wonderful and very kid friendly – even in the most serious of stories. There is also commonly known passages such as the Ten Commandments and the Lord’s Prayer at the back of the book.
I would recommend this book for children who already know how to read but may not yet be ready for a full Children’s Bible of their own.
