The ICB, Blessed Garden Bible, Hardcover: International Children's Bible

My son was 8 when I bought this for him and it seems an appropriate reading level for him. I personally love reading this for my own devotions. I almost wish it wasn’t called a “children’s” Bible as I think it sheds a lot of light on the meaning of the text for adults as well. Of course for scholarly Bible study I still compare several translations. But if I only had access to one translation this is not a bad pick.I love the faux leather cover. It seems more mature so I think my son can use it for years without feeling like he has a little kids Bible.The inside pictures are cartoon like and great for children to help visualize various stories. It even contains a few maps in the back much like adult Bible versions.It contains a dictionary in the back for some of the more unfamiliar words. While it doesn’t have a full concordance, it does have a section titled “Where Do I Find It?” Withe various names and stories. Additionally there is a small section on God’s promises that has key verses addressing common topics such as faith, happiness, obedience, wisdom, etc.Over all I think this is a great Bible for third graders and adults alike.

I am a pastor and was looking for Bibles to give to some of our younger kids when they get baptized. In particular, I recently baptized a 2nd grader and 3rd grader and wanted a Bible they can grow with. They're old enough for a real Bible instead of a Bible story book or shortened children's Bible, but their reading level isn't advanced enough for the ESV, NIV, etc. I was unfamiliar with this International Children's Bible but came across it at a local Christian bookstore, and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The language is simple enough for a young reader, but does a good job of retaining the meaning of the text. Obviously it is not as literal a translation as some others, a necessity for making it accessible to early readers, but I found it to be the best blend of readability and fidelity to the original meaning as I could find. This particular Bible looks nice too with it's two-tone faux leather cover, but it's the translation that really sold me. I look forward to giving these to our new young Christians and hope for many opportunities to share them.

It was a great gift. Great size and quality

Such a lovely bible. My child loves it. The whole family does. It has a beautiful cover that looks even better in person. Leathersoft is not real leather, but this is really nice and feels so smooth and soft. It's cool to discover that there are leather like covers that look and feel so supple, imo.I only have two little criticisms: I wish it had a little ribbon in the spine that you can use to keep your place like some other bibles have. And I wish the sentences had a little more spacing between them because my child seems to lose his place from time to time, maybe because the lines are too close.I would buy this again and may do so for gifts. This is also a very good bible for anyone, not just children. I really think everyone should have this bible version in their home. I love having access to a bible that is so easy too read but not dumbed down. The words are still beautiful to read, with the meaning and context intact.

My baby girl like the pictures and easy for her to read

Wow! I absolutely LOVE this bible! It is the cutest book and the quality is just stunning! The pages are sleek and feel so good to the touch. It is written for younger minds to understand the bible easier, but adults can read this too! It's not "babyish" at all! I actually bought it for myself and I'm a grown adult! I love the way it's written and the artwork throughout the book is just adorable! Awesome book! I couldn't put it down! Now maybe I'll actually be able to read the whole bible and understand all that I'm reading! I highly recommend this for both children and adults! Bravo to all the souls who worked so hard to put this treasure together! God bless you all!

I bought this bible for my 7 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. This bible is not only adorable it’s easier for her to read. I have other bibles for her in which she has a difficult time with and this one is perfect. I also have a friend who bought this same bible for her 9 year old daughter and she loves hers as well.

Got here fast, was all in tact and pretty she loved it.

I love the bible design and its version. I bought it to introduce the word of God to my little one early, and I like that it ministers to me as well when we study the God together.

Thank you Jesus 😍I love this Bible very easy to understand. The Lord Jesus bless you all.

Diese Bibel ist wirklich ganz besonders genial. Und eigentlich möchte ich 5 Sterne geben. Aber leider war es die letzte auf lager und wer weis ob es die wieder gibt... 😢Es ist ein toller, weicher Leder ähnlicher Einband und lässt sich daher toll halten.Eigentlich wäre sie echt genial wenn die Seiten nicht kaputt wären 🥴

Arrived in good time despite the current virus situation. Lovely bright colourful and child friendly bible for a little girl. Beautiful pink heart sequins on front cover with large front words for easy reading. Detailed index cover to input personal information.

The Bible is very interesting for kids to read. I had purchased 2 Bibles for gift.
