My Review:

I have had the pleasure of reviewing Amy Parkers other book, "The Plans I have for You." I enjoyed reading those books to my kids. This NIV Bible includes a few features that might spark the attention of your young reader! The 25 Promise Prayers and 50 God's Big Plans are scattered throughout the Bible are the things that I would have been paging through to find and read. I really like the feature of the God's Big Plans because they teach children the promises of God. NIV translation is a great one for younger readers to understand more as well... in fact I use it a lot for myself.
