The Golden Princess Sparkle Bible by Tommy Nelson is one that girls—ages
6-12—will gravitate toward. It’s attractive as a book as well as a Bible. The
mustard-yellow cover is eye-catching, and the white, glittery script is sure to
make girls smile and tempt them to open the book. I love this! Girls surely
will too.
The font is easy to read. The Bible
is durable (hard cover) while begin easy to hold. Not too big, not too heavy.
The Bible has lots of features, most
exciting being the 24 full-page, full-color illustrations of stories such as
Jesus’ Baptism, The Good Samaritan, and Solomon & the Queen of Sheba. There
is an occasion page for gift giving, key verses are highlighted, and there is a
dictionary in the back where girls can look up terms that are bolded throughout
the text. Another great feature is a section of Memory Verses in the back, and
a section of God’s Promises. The Bible reference sections are very accessible
and easy to use.
The translation is the International
Children’s Bible. I’ve never read this translation before. I’m usually wary of
modern translations, but this is neither a paraphrase nor a storybook. It is
written at a 3rd-grade level, which is fabulous! It is easy to read
and reads like a Bible. Many of my favorite scripture passages read nearly the
same in this version as they do in the NIV.
One feature that doesn’t seem to be
explained is the use of highlighted passages. Several passages are highlighted
throughout the text, and they seem to just be key verses. A nice touch.
I highly recommend this Bible!
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
