Wow! Glenys Nellist has done it again! This is an amazingly, awesome, beautiful study Bible for young people. Words cannot do it justice! Not only are the illustrations magnificent but the "letters" from God really reach your heart. If you've seen the picture books Love Letters from God by Glenys Nellist you'll totally love this Bible. Even if you have never heard of the picture books this Bible is sure to woo your heart. Throughout the Bible there are "letters" from God speaking to the child and relating the Bible passage to modern day events or discussing feelings child might have. Included in this Bible are prompts for children to "journal" or write back to God and express their thoughts and ideas and emotions. The prompts are very creative and in different ways helps the help express himself. Sometimes they are asked to make a drawing or do an activity and other times it is simply a written message back to God. The back cover says this Bible is written at the third grade level but as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed reading the special messages throughout this Bible and older children would benefit from the rich spiritual messages throughout the "letters" from God. It is a wonderful tool to help children learn to journal and record their spiritual journey. This is also a Bible that could be read to younger children and the prompts could be discussed verbally to help younger children who are learning about God and His love.
I received this book free from the publishers.
