Hands On Bible- New Living Translation Description:

Hands On Bible: New Living Translation review:
5 stars (Hands On gets a big Thumbs Up) - I have been working with kids and their families for over ten years, and I think this is the best Bible for kids I have ever come across. The NLT is an easy read that makes sense to kids and yet maintains the integrity of being a translation and not a paraphrase. The Bible has a fun look and feel for kids and plenty of age appropriate helps. What puts this Bible over the top though, is the Hands On suggestions that serve as object lessons for key scriptures. If you are a parent looking for creative ideas to teach your kid God's word then this Bible is for you. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
5 stars (A Great Resource!) - We use this Bible in our after school clubs. It really attracts children and entices them to read the Bible! I love the features it has: highlighting important verses (common memory verses); activities throughout; occational "Key Verse" hightlights that give deeper insight to a verse; "Fun Facts" interspersed in the text. I am also impressed with the appendices: LOTS of helpful information about the Bible for those who are new to reading it (like our club kids!); a personal Bible reading plan for kids; family devotions (I use some of these ideas in my teaching!); a dictionary/concordance; and maps! WOW! This Bible is packed! And NLT is a great translation for kids who are not familiar with "Christianese." I HIGHLY recommend this Bible! (My own kids are now asking for one...)
5 stars (Incredible resource for families) - As a pastor of family ministries I struggle with providing resources that allow parents to engage their children in spiritual training in a fun and relevant way. This Bible, while written for children, can be used as a resource for the entire family for family devotionals or fun facts. The Bible has a lot of devotionals in the back that are great for getting the family talking and getting the children reading.
