Revised edition of The Story for Kids for ages 8-12 using the updated New International Reader’s Version (NIrV); part of the church-wide campaign, The Story.

Now God’s great love story is told in a format for kids ages 9-12. The Story for Kids parallels the adult and teen edition of the book and can be used as part of The Story campaign or on its own.

The adventure, humor, and drama found in The Story for Kids compel kids to see the Bible as relevant and transformational. It’s the perfect resource for parents, grandparents, and teachers to use to introduce their children to the Bible as a complete story—one that tells about God’s great love for his people.

Features:

• Characters, events, and teachings of the Bible arranged chronologically
• Interior line art to engage the imagination
• Transitional paragraphs set off in italics guide you through the stories
• Discussion questions for small group or book clubs
• Includes Scripture portions from the easy-to-read text of the New International Reader’s Version (NIrV)

The Story for Kids, NIrVDiscover the Bible from Beginning to EndA wonderful Introduction to the Bible for chidren ages 7-12
I highly recommend this to all children in this age range to prepare them for their journey through the bible later, easy to comprehend, and covers the most beautiful bible stories with illustrations, and the perfect size for childrens' hands.
 

 I remember how good it felt, the first time I read the Bible as an adult, to “meet” different characters I’d heard of growing up.  The Story for Kids seems like a fantastic way to introduce young readers to the people God used to tell His story then, and help them imagine the role they might play in His story now.
