Review: This was one of three Bibles I purchased over the summer and of those three it is my "favorite." Considering its intended audience of 8-to-12 year olds it is a success. The translation, "New Living" is very readable. The passages are indeed among the most important. The font is easy on the eyes. So far the cover has not curled. The book does not lie flat when opened.
You can get through the Old Testamanet by June. Little attention is given to the minor prophets. There are only three excerpts from Revelation at the end.
There is a very "evangelical" tone as almost every passage has an interpretation which emphasizes the need for Jesus to be your Savior.
I think this would be a good version of the Bible (although not a complete Bible) to develop the habit of daily reading while still being very readable at the target age. I dare say a youngster who can go through this edition several times over a 3 or 4 year period will be very familiar with the most important sections and stories, and ready to move on to a more advanced version.

Review: This was very helpful to my little brother. He was able to learn much more about the Bible, especially when he listened and compared the verses from his favorite CD,
SCRIPTURE ROCK.
