grandma's bookshelf - Read with Me Bible!

NIrV Read with Me BibleSince one of the most important things for us is helping our grandchildren develop a true love for God's Word, it is a great idea to expose them to excellent Bibles - beginning when they are young children. I love the "Read with Me Bible" from Zonderkidz! The art work is from my favorite illustrator for children - Dennis Jones - and is certain to capture the attention and imagination of little ones! I particularly appreciate how Dennis illustrates angels as big, strong, non-scary men rather than "frilly" girls! 

Read with Me Bible
NIrV Read with Me BibleAuthor - Doris Wynbeek Rikkers and Jean Syswerda
Illustrator - Dennis Jones
Publisher - Zonderkidz
Ages - 4-7

The "Read with Me Bible" was edited by Doris Wynbeek Rikkers and Jean Syswerda and includes 58 Old Testament Bible Lessons and 47 New Testament Lessons and each one includes Scripture reference as to where you will find the lesson in a Bible. This Bible story book is for children ages four to seven and has longer stories once again with the enjoyable illustrations from Dennis Jones. The "Read with Me Bible" is based on the New International Readers Version (NIrV) which uses simpler words and shorter sentences making it easier for children to read and understand. This is the ideal Bible for young families to use for their family devotions. As you read the Bible lessons be sure to talk with your grandchildren about the important truths God wants them to know from each lesson!
