ESV Children's Bible (Blue) Hardcover – Illustrated, April 30, 2015

The pictures, although occasionally different than typical pictures you might see in a Bible, offer a tangible picture of what you might imagine. I love the art: detailed, and engaging without being distracting. It doesn't try too hard to be captivating, but is a natural draw to a child (or adult) to read God's word! Love it and can't wait to give it to my son.

Visually compelling and uses the actual ESV text. Inasmuch as I read and write Biblical Greek, I can say that the New Testament ESV text is a very faithful translation of the original everywhere I have examined it including a book length review of Revelation. I do not read Hebrew or Aramaic, but the translation committee of the Old Testament is a who's who of Hebrew scholars (as is the case for the New Testament committees as well).I prefer an actual translation for children's Bibles; that way, all stories are told in their entirety without all the (otherwise necessary but occasionally less than accurate) editorial one finds in other children's Bibles which at best are paraphrases. Moreover, even young children are surprisingly adept at asking amazing questions when reading from an adult text. Children deserve credit for this amazing faculty, and running into a tough word or phrase is a great way to introduce kids to a lifelong habit of inquiry, question, struggle, and resolution so necessary for critical thinking.I also am very happy with the illustrations. They are remarkably well done. (I am in the process of putting together a watercolor series for the book of Revelation, so I am sensitized to the skill on display in this Bible's illustrations.) This Bible is such a visual joy, I'm thinking of getting another copy just for myself.

We love this Bible and the knowledge that it brings, but at the same time, it offers ease for the kids.

It looked just like the picture, well made and was a great gift for my grandson!

Very nice! Nice artwork and cover. Highly pleased

I purchased this for my 6yr old daughter as she was required to have the ESV bible for her school... we typically read from the KJV but this one is great!.. pages are thin but not as thin as some of my other bibles & it has several beautiful illustrations, maps & timelines. It is also a good size & not to large for a younger child to carry around. This is just Gods word & no footnotes or interpretations like you might find in a study Bible. Loved it so much I purchased a second one for us to keep at home & the other for her school.

This Bible is a great mix of a kids picture Bible and a study Bible.My kids like this Bible.

Beautiful bible that we bought for our son. It is easy to read and understand and includes pictures which is a great way to keep our toddler interested and understand the content. Highly recommend.
