Beloved by millions around the world, the English Standard Version of the Bible is ideal for anyone looking for a contemporary and readable translation that is also accurate and consistent in its rendering of key words and phrases. I personally don’t love this bible, but the kids said I should include it, so let’s take a look at The Picture Bible. I personally love the style of The Action Bible so much that I feel like there’s no reason to have them both. However, if you have a kid that loves comics and the pictures in The Action Bible seem too extreme to you, this children’s bible would be the perfect choice.

I absolutely love The Action Bible! I think it’s especially great for tweens or kids that are very interested in comic books. I know there are families that think the pictures are too graphic, but I think they’re really well done. You can buy just the New Testament, or you can get the The Old Testament plus New Testament. I believe your children’s bible should have all the quality of any beautiful picture book for children. You don’t want your kids to be wowed with the colors and artwork in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and then open a children’s bible to find ugly clip art and less than stellar stories. What message does that send to your child about the secular world vs. the christian world?

However, I cannot broadly recommend this title because there are some inclusions that contradict Catholic Church teaching. I can remember two off the top of my head: Int. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48.

Then God said, “Let the earth be filled with animals. And let each produce more of its own kind. Let there be tame animals and small crawling animals and wild animals. And let each produce more of its kind.” And it happened. Int. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. While the illustration style is not my favorite, the hardcover is sturdy and thus gets brought to Mass with us. I recommend that every Catholic home have at least 1 Catholic children’s bible, and one Saint treasury book. This is the best place to start your Catholic children’s library. You can find my favorite Saint treasury books for kids here. At the time, the only translation available was the NRSV, which is not my favorite, but there are several choices now. I like to have the NAB because it’s the translation that is read at Mass. So if I were buying one now, that’s the one I would get (and it’s what I linked to above). I definitely think it’s good for teens to have their own bibles rather than just sharing from the family stash. That way they can feel free to take notes, etc. I would say I would get one for Lydia soon (she’s 14) but she seriously still loves her Catholic Children’s Bible (from above) and she has a journaling bible (below).

Why Having A Good Children’s Bible Is Important

Even though the stories are very brief, this bible does an excellent job of mentioning important biblical details, and telling the most well known stories. It also has a large collection of stories, so it’s a very good overview bible for kids. Each story begins with a small blurb providing context of the story before the actual biblical text begins. Then God said, “Let the water be filled with living things. And let birds fly in the air above the earth.”
