Book Review: NIrV, Under The Sea Holy Bible
Book
Description:
The Underthe Sea Holy Bible, NIrV is a perfect gift for children ages 6 to 10.
Themes of underwater fun and sparkling fish grace the interior of this
wonderful children’s Bible. The outside is covered in foil and sparkle. The
interior has color inserts featuring whimsical underwater scenes with themes of
God’s care and love for each of us and all of creation.
My Review:
Children will find the outside cover and the special insert pages appealing. The art work is fun, shiny, and glittery. The information on the inserts is good, but for me they didn't give enough information on becoming a Christian. I liked the pages on prayer and love. As far as the NIrV, I appreciate the explanation of how the writers came up with their version. They do refer to the NIV translation, but do some simplification of the more elaborate language to create an easier to read version. I also like the list of Bible stories and the dictionary in the back. This would be a good beginner Bible for a young person with the understanding that it is not a direct translation.

I received this in exchange for a fair review.
