Niv Integrated Study Bible review

 

I've never had a chronological Bible before, but the NIV Integrated Study Bible is very interesting. It puts the Bible in the order that events happen, as I'm sure most chronological Bibles do. I love being able to look at the verses that happen about the same time, especially in the Chronicles and Kings. And I love how the Gospel accounts of the same events are put together so you can see what each writer wrote about the same event.  While I'm not a big fan of the newest NIV translation, it's still an easy to read translation that many people use, so this would be a great Bible for a study. 

 

In the back there is a listing in order of all the scriptures so in case you are looking for something and it's not where you would think it is, you can turn to the back and find what you are looking for.  

While it's not set up in the normal way that I would like to read a Bible, this is a great Bible if you are doing a chronological study of the Bible and this will help you put all the stories together so you can see the big picture of God's Word. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to read the Bible chronologically. I'll be using this for additional study times when I work through the lives of the Kings of Israel and Judah. 

Book Description

More than just a chronological Bible—not only are passages of Scripture arranged in their sequential order, but so also are individual events, and includes multiple interpretations for deeper revelations.
The NIV Integrated Study Bible shows the Bible unfolding in a new way as the landmark events are set in parallel. It’s more than just a chronological Bible—not only are passages of Scripture arranged in their sequential order, but so also are individual events. And multiple interpretations allow for deeper revelations. For instance, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John’s telling of Jesus feeding the 5,000—presented in four columns right next to each other—take on a new life. David’s story about hiding from Saul in the wilderness is paired with the relevant psalms. In this new, hardcover edition, the NIV Integrated Study Bible will prove to be a lasting and invaluable resource for your customers.
Features include:

• The entire text of the NIV translation with the order of events arranged chronologically
• General and sectional (e.g., Pentateuch, History, Prophets, Gospels) introductions on chronology and dating, including comparative charts of major systems and schemes
• Brief commentary in the form of transitions to help navigate the chronology

NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers review

I  was very excited to review this Bible for my family. My son is really starting to enjoy his Jesus Calling storybook Bible and so I have been trying to find a good regular Bible for him. This one is great. He loves the cover, which has an awesome sticker on the front (lenticular 3D motion on the cover.) The NIrV translation is easy to read an understand, and I think we will have lots of fun with story time in this Bible.

It has lots of color on the pages, with articles on Life in Bible times, People in Bible times and Did you Know facts. I enjoy reading those even.The Famous Children of the Bible page can help kids find stories about other kids from the Bible and see if they can relate to them. There's a page on question kids ask, and gives verses for them to look up for those answers.

. 

 The introduction pages have basic information about when the book was written and some important things that happened in the timeline of the book. Very helpful for those kids who are doing their own Bible study

 

I really do love this Bible. It is targeted for kids who are able to read on their own and do their own study (ages 6-9), but I think it's going to be a great addition to our reading for our kids. It has the whole translation of the Bible so that kids can learn along with their parents in easy to read words. I would totally recommend this to anyone with kids of any age who want to learn more about the Bible.
