Zonderkidz Faith Builders Bible Review

This weeks review is from Zonderkidz. We are reviewing the Faith Builders Bible. The Faith Builders Bible sells for about $24.99. Its a fairly priced kids bible and has some super cool kid friendly features. It is a hard back bible so its probably a little more durable than a leather bound. It has a cool brick building theme to it. Reminds me of Lego's. You get 24 full color pages of illustrations. This is a NIrV,  for those of you un-familiar it is the New International Reader's Version of the Bible. It comes in a 9 point font which is a bigger font than most Bibles come in. 
The girls stalked the door all morning for the UPS man. They were very excited when they pulled it out of the box it just looks cool. I usually buy leather bound bibles. But I was surprised at how happy I was with the hard back for a kid.  It feels kid tough and I like that, I want the girls to handle it a lot and that means it needs to be durable. The cover has building blocks all over it and the theme continues throughout the Bible. If you have little builder this is going to be the Bible for them.
At the beginning it has building with books of the Bible. This teaches kids that each book of the Bible is like a layer and it gives kids a task to help them remember the order of the books. I had never thought to explain it to my girls that way. It actually uses colored pictures of the building blocks to demonstrate the layers or books of the bible.  
Next I want to mention Building Block Verses You will find these through out the Bible. These are great memory verses above each verse is a little lesson that goes along with it. Super helpful for younger kids. We also discovered a small dictionary in the back its only about 5 pages long but it has a lot of words in it that your child might not know as they are reading through the Bible. We also found a list of Bible stories and get this it tells what book they are in so finding them is easy. 
Hotrod girl wants me to mention the font. She says she prefers the bigger print to that of the small print in her other Bible. She tells me it makes it easier to read and helps her to keep her place. She also likes how it helps her learn the order of the Books of the Bible.  Snoopy would like me to talk about the colors. She loves the design on the cover and the "super cool" pictures that are throughout the bible. She says the pictures make it fun and helps her to remember the story and the verse.  They took it to Sunday school this past Sunday and it was the talk of the class.  Zonderkidz has some really great items they never seem to disappoint me. I would love for everyone to read what the other crew reviewers have to say about the Faith Builders Bible.

90 Days Thru the Bible

I recently got the chance to review a book for the Tyndale Publishing company. the book is called 90 Days Thru the Bible. First I want to give you the blip from the back of the book. 

as you can tell the pages are well loved. 

Embark on a 90 day journey to understand the heart of God's story like never before. You may believe the bible's overall message, but have you truly grasped the whole story We know god's message of love is so simple that even a child may embrace it, and His epic story is complex enough to mystify even the most curious intellect. We want to understand the Scriptures more deeply, to fully share in the Great Story that God has been telling throughout the ages, though perhaps we aren't sure where to start.

In 90 days Thru the bible, acclaimed writer Chris Tiegreen and Walk Thru the bible guide you through the various sections of scripture, meditating on how each story and theme, like the pieces of a puzzle, beautifully contribute to God's masterpiece of love,faith, and salvation. You'll come to understand the true heart of God- and the awe-inspiring story He's telling in your own life-in an incredible new way. 

Im a busy home schooling mom I am a very religious woman I have a strong belief in God. But to be honest I cant always find the time to read my bible. So when I got the chance to try out 90 Days Thru the Bible I was excited to give it a go.  90 Days Thru the Bible is a nice little devotional. It does not go in depth with the Bible but it does gives a good general understanding of the Bible and what its about. I like that the devotional gives a simple understanding of the scripture's being taught. It gives me reflection questions at the end of each days lesson.  This  helped me to further explore the scripture that was taught that day and what it means to me and the way I lead my life.  90 Days Thru the Bible is a wonderful way to get in touch with the Bible and all that it can teach us. It has encouraged me to find more time to read my Bible and be closer to God. 

You can find 90 Days Thru the Bible at a lot of book stores but Ill give you the link to amazon in case you would like to try it out.f  http://www.amazon.com/90-Days-Thru-Bible-Devotional/dp/141435309X
