Kid Book Review: NIV Faithgirlz Bible By General Editor Nancy N. Rue
What I felt the book was missing was a bible reading plan. I am not sure why it didn’t have one, but as a child ventures into their first real bible and not a kids reader bible, they should have a simple plan in there for them to follow.
Another thing I wish it had was a similar setup to the Answers bible. That is a book that has helped me in my religious struggled; especially when I have questions about faith. But, it also helps when it comes to answers and questions for guilt, self esteem, depression, sadness, and every other emotion you could think of. Having that in a pre teen aged bible would have been perfect, especially for this one.
All-in-all if you are in the market for a girls age appropriate bible and your child is 10-13, I think this would be a wonderful tool for them on their spiritual, growth, and (hormonal girl) life journey.
While kiddo hasn’t read a bunch of the actual biblical text, she is reading a lot of the tidbits that are located throughout the book. She finds that information interesting and will seek out more on her own.
Because I am not a very religious person (my husband grew up in a religious household,) what she takes from it is up to her. We can only encourage her to be a good person and live the best life she can.

That sounds so cute for little girls. Maybe I will get my nieces each one when they are a little older 🙂
That’s such an adorable little bible. I think it’s super snazzy, and I think my girls would love it.

I think this is so perfect for the almost-teenage girl. It looks fun to read, and I love how it appears broken up (for easier reading.)
Sounds like a cute bible for little girls. It’s nice that they can have something age appropriate to look for advice and guidance.

This looks like a great book for the tween/teen age girls! I love the bright and fun colors.

It can be tough being a tween, so having places to seek guidance is so important. This looks like a great Bible for girls.
How adorable is this bible! I wish I had a bible like this growing up its so cute and Pre-teen friendly! I hope she enjoys it!
This would be the perfect gift for my friends little girl. She is just starting her first confirmation.
The Faithgirlz Bible sounds and looks like a book that invites reading. They may have not set a guide to avoid sounding like a textbook. My favorite stories when I was a kid involved Esther, Ruth, Mary and Mary Magdalene. The women were brave enough to face torture and death, and made a big difference in their community and world. Happy birthday to your daughter!
I gave both of my girls a Bible when they entered their teens years. It was something I felt they would enjoy as they were older.
It’s really nice that it is created with a specific age in mind. I know a traditional bible can be a bit overwhelming for kids.
What a great bible. I would have loved this when I was younger.
That looks perfect for a young girl! I love how they design it with fun colors. Not sure they had them like this when I was younger.
I love this! It is perfect for young girls. It has a timeless message but is styled to appeal to their tastes.
What a great book for young girls. I wonder if they have something like this for boys.
This is neat. I never thought about kid friendly bibles. I’m going to pin this post for when that time comes.
I love the girl themed bibles these days! So cute and girly for encouraged reading!
This Bible is so cute! It definitely catches the eye.
