MY TIDBITS

The cover grabs attention of especially young girls right away with the, at the moment, very popular sequin changing cover. Kept in white and gold, it gives off a quality impression and is something those girls who no long like pink are sure to enjoy.

This Bible holds the New King James Version, and those spots where significant differences were found form in the Greek New Testament are pointed out in the footnotes. The first page gives a chance for the giver to personalize the Bible followed by a short area for the owner to put in a small family tree. Then—and I found this especially nice—there's a short explanation concerning 'Why Should I Read the Bible?' which is written at a level for girls 9 and older, and attempts to make the Bible personal right away.

There are illustrated pages strewn within the Bible, which offer deeper thoughts and answers to questions like ' How Do I Pray?' or 'How Do I Know Jesus Loves Me?'. These are again written at the level of the intended audience, are short and followed by Bible verses, which can be referenced to.

Several 'helps' are also found within the pages. At the beginning, there's a timeline, which is illustrated and points out the more significant moments of the Bible. At the end, there is a list with the names of God used in the Bible, a quick list of Jesus' miracles, a list of the disciples, a list of kids in the Bible and several, nicely illustrated maps to help readers get a better idea of a few of the locations mentioned in the Bible.

The pages are, as always, thin and hold smaller print. There isn't any room for personal notes, which I find disappointing, but this isn't a study Bible in that sense. Rather, it's a Bible for girls to hold precious and enjoy reading or seeking out more about God.

My own daughter couldn't wait to get her hands on it because of the sequins, but has, since then, grabbed it up many times during the last weeks and read in it.

I received a copy from Booklookbloggers.com and find it to be a lovely Bible, many girls are sure to enjoy.
