| I purchased this for my 6 year old. He can read the material but it is difficult for him to understand some of the stories. Perhaps if they could add a summary and questions for discussion or points on the lesson or "let's live it" to show how to apply to his daily lifestyle it would be more beneficial. |

 | Great for family Bible study Feb 3, 2010 |
We bought this for each of our children to read this year on their own but have turned it into a family Bible study. I love the real life application section after each day. I recommend this for anyone looking for a short but meaningful family Bible.

 | Understandable Jan 31, 2010 |
I just recently finished my own one year challenge reading the Bible & was looking for a simpler version to read with my 10 yr. old when I found this book. I was especially wondering how they would present some of the heavy-duty topics found in the Old Testament. This book does a wonderful job (so far) of focusing on the important messages without getting bogged down in all the stuff that would turn off a kid. To be sure, it doesn't have every chapter and verse, but it has the basics and is written in a style that is short, to the point, and in such a way that it keeps the attention of the reader and leaves them wondering "what will happen next?". Each reading is prefaced with an introduction and also a short summary to review the lesson of the reading.
We read this together each night & talk about the lesson of the reading and how it might apply to something my child has experienced. His words probably say it best: "finally, church stuff that I can understand"! |

 | Great Bible for little ones... Jan 30, 2010 |
| We love how this bible is laid out. It divides it up into bite size pieces that is perfect for little children and then takes those bite size bits and relates it back to Jesus (throughout the Old Testament). This is a fantastic resource for introducing little ones to the Bible and Jesus. We are very glad we found it. |

 | Challenge Bible is Awesome!!! Dec 8, 2009 |
This is the third Bible with a reading plan I have selected for my daughter and I finally got it right!! This Bible is broken down by date so she can pick up her Bible on November 15th and know what she is meant to read. If she misses a few days or a week she can go back and work the extra days in or skip them until she has more time. It is great!!!
She has a special notebook where she writes down the challenge question and date then does the reading and then answers the question. She uses the comments at the bottom of each reading to reinforce her answer/interpretation is inline with what the reading was meant to portray. It helps her feel accomplished and involved in her own study.
This is the Bible if you have an eight year old who loves to read and interact with her books!!! |
