ICB (International Childrens Bible)

The Bible for children in easy to understand language but without losing the meaning. This is great.

It is a very good book.

This Bible is billed as a complete translation of the entire Bible, but with children in mind - unlike so many children's Bibles which either leave bits out, or retell stories in their own words, or both! So if your child has read all the latter bibles and you want them to have a chance to read the actual "Holy Bible" then this is a very good product. It translates in short clear sentences in modern English and always indicates clearly who is speaking. It also has some full-page child-friendly illustrations in colour. It does not compromise the text, however.It is technically a "dynamic equivalent" translation - like the NIV or the Good News, and unlike The Message or the older Living Bible whhich are technically "paraphrases". So if you are looking for your child to encounter the Word of God in the same sense that you do in your quiet time, or in church, this is the Bible for you. It is an excellent stepping stone to either the NIV or the GN. My daughter (13) has made that step and reads the Good News mainly. My son (9), wanting a 'real Bible' to take away to camp, was delighted when we bought him his own copy of this publication.The only drawback is the shortening of sentences which can sometimes breakup the feel or flow of a text (e.g. in some famous Pauline or Johannine passages). When your child becomes aware of this, however, it is simply evidence that it is time to make the very smooth transition to one of the many translations you yourself use.Excellent product - it does what it says. Revd Philip Joy, Essex.

The bible is perfect for kids, they love it and it’s easy for them to understand.

Lovely piece. My son loves it

We haven't read it yet however, skimmed through and is presented similarly to an adult bible. The pages are thin so much care will be essential for long-term sustainability.

Quality of Product:99.9% brand new quality, I am very satisfied with the quality of this book, Is swear this on a Bible!Why buy it?I am on the hunt for Bibles which are easy on the eye. Although I'm not a child, I like illustrations which bring the Bible stories to life so I'm impressed with this book.I also wanted to see what it was like as a potential gift for children of my Christian friends. I would recommend for children aged 12 and above in terms of the written text and also for adults who like a traditional but easy going style of Bible and who, like me, are also in touch with their inner child!The price was in about £10.00, much cheaper than typical Bible stores who charge around £17 for this product brand new.

This Bible has served me well. It was gifted to me as a child and I love gifting this Bible to others too. It’s so enjoyable to read as a child and for adults who have recently come to God.
