The Young Readers Bible
From SPARK
One-sentence summary
Seventy easy-to-read Bible stories from both Old and New Testaments.
Description
This Bible uses very simple English. It was written for English-speaking children who are just beginning to read. It has 70 stories from Genesis to Revelation. Each story is short and can be read in a few minutes. Scripture references, maps of Bible lands, a glossary, and other tools help children to study God's Word.
Considerations
- Written for children ages 5-8 years old.
- The hardback book has 486 pages.
Limitations

- The colored pictures are muted and more representative than life-like.
Guidelines for Use
- As an audio book without pictures.
- As radio programs for children.
- In schools and Sunday schools.
