This audio version of the Bible makes the New Testament easily accessible to everyone. Both the tone and pace of delivery make it great when travelling, walking, driving or just meditating. You can also grab your Bible and read along. The narration is very soothing and makes reading the Bible a lot of fun. I highly recommend this audio series

I only listened to part of one tape, but I was impressed and am considering buying it. The content is, of course, amazing. But the words are delivered by the deep sound of Gregory Peck, who somehow sounds like he actually went back in time and experienced what he's reading. It's authoritative! I felt like I was listening to a prophet, not an actor.

This unabridged reading of the New Testament in the King James Version is exquisite in its beauty and simplicity. It has no background music, except for a short piece at the end of each book, and Gregory Peck's resonant, gorgeous voice is perfect for the poetic cadence of the text. One of the 20th century's finest actors, Peck's rendition has depth and subtlety, as he skillfully reads the Scripture with gentle emotion, and perfect enunciation.

No matter how many times one has read the Bible, hearing it in an audio version adds a new dimension to the text, whether one just listens, or reads along with it. There is a new layer of understanding that comes with hearing the entire Scripture that brings a fresh insight into certain passages. I have read several translations, and though some are very illuminating (I am partial to the Amplified Bible), I find none quite have the power and beauty of the King James Version.

Oscar winner Peck (1916-2003) recorded all 22 hours of this New Testament in 1984, in a log cabin that was a part of his property in Los Angeles that he used as a retreat and office. Produced by his son Stephen, it was a project that Peck, who said that his faith was "an anchor to windward" throughout his life, found very rewarding to complete.

I have had this wonderful set for a couple of years. Mr. Peck reads the Word with strength and clarity. I prefer not having music or sound effects in the background - so this rendition is perfect for me. Hearing the Bible read seems to give me a different perspective. I always feel refreshed and encouraged after I listen to these tapes.

Audiofile may think that the performance is "tired", but Peck's reading of the New Testament is exactly what I wanted. No musical score, no cast of thousands; no overblown, Shakespearean dramatization. Just God's word, read clearly and simply. Gregory Peck was a fine choice, and I never tired of hearing his voice.

The only reason I rate this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would prefer the NIV or even the NKJV over the KJV, but this is the only version that Audible.com carries (as of 10/2002).

This large, colorful picture book is a faithful retelling of "The Book of Beasts," one of many stories originally found in "The Book of Dragons," written by E. Nesbit over one hundred years ago. In this story, a young boy named Lionel is, to his great surprise, crowned king after the death of his great-great-great-great-great grandfather. His grandfather was said by some to be a magician and sure enough, he finds in the royal library a book called "The Book of Beasts." He lets out of it some wonderful creatures, such as a butterfly "all red, and brown, and yellow, and blue," but then he ends up setting a dragon loose upon the kingdom. It's an upsetting start to his days as king, but eventually young Lionel vows to set things right.

The story is abridged (but done very well) and fully illustrated in ink, oil pastels and oils by Inga Moore. The illustrations are beautiful and fanciful, many covering entire pages and others woven into the text. Fantasy fans of all ages will enjoy this story and may be inspired to take a look at "The Book of Dragons," if they haven't already.

My daughter (6) and I loved this story. Imaginative, beautiful illustrations. Told skillfully with charming style, wit and a refreshing sense of resoursefulness. This one is a keeper! =)

This is one of those special children's books that has captivated me, as well my son. The text is filled with funny remarks for parental appreciation. And it appeals to a child's imagination, portraying the child as probelm solver as well as trouble maker. The story resolves in a surprisingly clever way, dispelling all the trouble caused by the dragon. This is a witty enchanting fantasy!

This reissue of the classic tale by E. Nesbit originally published in 1900 is more than welcome, it's a joy. Abridged and illustrated by Inga Moore it will fascinate and entertain another generation of youngsters.

The Book Of Beasts revolves around Lionel, a young boy who learns that he is to be king. He is informed of this startling news by two elderly robed gentlemen wearing gold coronets "with velvet sticking up out of the middle like cream in jam tarts."

After being crowned he is delighted to find a wondrous library in the palace. Lionel is drawn to a large brown book that lay on a table; it was titled "The Book Of Beasts." When he opened it he saw a painting of a beautiful butterfly. Most amazing of all, the butterfly flew right off the page!

Even though the chancellor warned him not to look at the book, Lionel crept back to the library during the night and looked at the book once more, and he looked again the next day when, horrors, he came upon a page marked "Dragon," and the most fearsome beast was released.

Now, it has fallen to King Lionel to find another beast in the magic book, another beast strong and brave enough to defeat the dragon so that the people will be saved.

One hundred years later The Book Of Beasts still enchants.

This book is a lot of fun, sparkling with the wit of E.Nesbit and filled with fantastic beasts that stir up quite a bit of trouble for a little boy whose great-great-great-great-great grandfather has died and left a kingdom to him. The original, unabridged version was written in 1900 and is included in a collection of stories called "The Book of Dragons". Inge Moore's new version of the story of the Book of Beasts is a wonderful opportunity for us to enjoy these fun-filled characters and the gentle humour of this great childrens' author.
Meet the Blue Bird of Paradise, the huge Red Dragon,the Manticora, and the beautiful Hippogriff and discover young King Lionel's thoughtful solutions to the problems they create when they spring to life straight off the pages of the magical Book of Beasts.
Moore's illustrations are colorful and comic and I enjoyed them a lot. I am so pleased that this captivating E. Nesbit tale is once again available to a wide readership. Don't miss it.

This novel took a different approach with the whole Danish Conquest of England. The characters were not stereotypical, but they were outlandish. Farrington shed light on characters like Ulf and Estrith, who are usually treated marginally. The most fascinating characters, of course, were Cnut, Emma, and Godwin.

Wow - this was a good book. I have read extensively on the Battle of Hastings, King Harold II, Edward the Confessor and William the Conqueror. The part of the story leading up to those memorable figures, was what I lacked. Farrington has told that tale through primarily the eyes of Emma of Normandy, but also Earl Godwin, King Cnute, Edward and his siblings as children, and the rest of those who lived in the years just prior to the historical turning point of 1066. Farrington was thorough yet the book flowed and I never felt that he was "stretching" the story to fill pages. The characters were all very well developed and I found his interpretations of them similar to other tidbits of info I had seen yet at the same time unique in his descriptions. Emma begins the story as a rather sad, misunderstood woman in an incredibly unhappy marriage to Ethelred. She moves through the years as a powerful, intellegent woman at a time when women were to be subservient. Her power lies in her beauty, her family connections to Normandy and her ability to bear children - heirs to first Ethelred and then to Cnute. Through this one outlet of "power" however, she is seen by her contemporaries as a meddling, manipulative whore. She despises her children by Ethelred which thus shapes their personalities and their future relationships with the mother who never loves and then abandons them. Godwin appears as the supporter of King Cnute's claim following Ethelred's death and his character develops as the "man behind the throne" ambitious and cunning, yet keenly aware of his place in society. He marries well and fathers a large family including Edith (wife of Edward the Confessor) and Harold (future king), yet most of his time is spent trying to secure the empire into a peaceful reign. Edith has a part in the story as she grows up to become Edward's wife and is torn between her devotion to God, husband and father. However, when it comes to the actual turn of power from the supposedly promised heir William of Normandy to Harold - little is said. The story develops and occurs and then the better known history simply takes over as this book ends. I was a little unhappy with the character of Edward. He is described as an albino who loves his mother unconditionally despite her blatant hatred of him and her many attempts to have him killed. Where I found the story spinning off into a bit too much fantasy was the addition of Edward's ability to heal the sick and crippled. It makes the reader see Edward as a truly saintly figure who was simply misunderstood though loved and adored by those who had witnessed his miracle working. I rather believe that Edward was truly a very confused person having suffered a lifetime of psychological damage from his mother, the death of his brother, and society's reaction to his albinoism. He likely turned to God as a solice and became very pious as a result - not born with some mystical ability to heal and seizurs that allowed him to "see God". Beyond that, I found the rest of the book, reasonably historically acurate for a work of fiction. It was fun to read, very enjoyable and again it offered a look at the set up for the events of 1066.

I have always felt that the middle ages have glossed over and romanced to much through fairy tales and such. But this book breaks that sterotype and shows the brutality and gruesomeness of what life might have been like back then. Everything about the book was facinating and real. The characters complex and alive, the culture harsh and tramatic, the plots were facinating and deep. It's also impossible to put down. I made a challenge to a friend of mine, who happens to hate reading. I said, "read the first chapter of this book, and then get rid of it forever." After reading just the first chapter, my friend decided he must read the entire thing, and he did. This is a long book, if just one chapter conviced a non- reader to read a 700+ page novel, it is amazing. I extend this challenge to anyone else out there, read just the first chapter, and see if you can put it down. If Mr. farrington ever writes anything else, I will be sure to read it asap.

This was certainly a hard book to find! If you can get a copy, it will be well worth your while. I really enjoyed the characterization of Cnut the Great, as well as that of Earl Godwin, Queen Emma, Lady Estrid, Lady Gytha and the rest. This novel is about 11th century England. It gives a lot of details without ever getting boring. Do try to find it! If you like this time period, also try to find "The Hollow Crown" by Helen Hollick, "Gildenford" by Valerie Anand, "Lord of Sunset" by Godwin Parke, and "The Golden Warrior" by Hope Muntz.

This novel, which I'm sad to find is out of print, has caused me to become intrigued by England's Dark Age.

The novel is quite well researched historically (according to many google searches I did to verify that fact) and is very humorous at the most unexpected times within the story of the clashes for power between the Danes and the Normans, then later the Normans and the Saxons, in England.

The characters are fleshed out and not stereotypical at all. The women characters in this book, in particular, are complex and interesting. Mr. Farrington makes neither devils nor angels of these characters, but shows them as real people in how they chose to live their lives--just as you think one character is the devil incarnate, Mr. Farrington brings out a side to them that is sympathetic and touching. Yet, later in the story, they are the very devil again.

A must read for all English history buffs, if it can be found.

Plumb tells the tale of the four Hanoverian 'Georges' who seem to progress generation to generation in the direction of complete nuttiness. The climax however is in George III , the old villain of American schoolbooks. Plumb says he was extremely slow of mind, and the first twenty years of his reign a complete disaster. Thanks to the foolish advice of Lord North who is portrayed as a somewhat sloth rolypoly George III managed to antagonize and lose his American colonies. The last twenty years of his reign were however much more successful. Plumb artfully describes how the brilliant Lord Pitt at twenty- four became the King's First Minister and brought about peace with both America and France. This despite the fact that George III one day began to speak to a tree , spoke to it twenty- four hours without stop and after this was pretty much not 'in the loop of decision- making'.
The relations between the various Georges and the various Princes of Wales were most often horrible. George III could not stand his father, and his son. What is somehow surprising is that despite the eccentricities of the monarchs Great Britain continued to grow and develop its Empire.
Plumb has a clear vision of the story as a whole, writes with interest about the various figures, Robert Walpole, Lord Chatham, Lord North, Pitt et al. who served the various kings. A highly enjoyable piece of historical writing.

This classic of historical writing and interpretation was first published in 1956, and it's still the best single volume on the Hanoverian dynasty. Taylor trained under G. M. Trevelyan, another noteworthy narrator of history, and became an illustrious Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. While he produced many important works in modern English history, he still is best known for his examination of the dynasty that began with the arrival in London 1714 of George, Duke of Brunswick, successor to Queen Anne, the last Stewart monarch. He didn't speak English and his son and successor, George II, barely could. The family has gotten bad press for generations, their reputation for loutishness and general lack of intellect perhaps being colored by American attitudes, but Plumb portrays them convincingly as ordinary human beings caught up in a series of exceptional circumstances: The rise of parliamentary power, the loss of the American colonies below Canada, the Industrial Revolution, the effects everywhere of the French Revolution, and the struggle against Napoleon. Like many others, I first read this book as an undergraduate, but I now much prefer the 1974 lavishly illustrated Hamlyn edition [which Amazon doesn't list]; the numerous political cartoons are especially useful in providing the flavor of the times.

This is by far the best book that i have read in a long time. Most history books are boring but this one is anything but. Plumb goes to great details explaining the relationship that each King shared with his son. He does a wonderful job of giving his readers a rare insight to the royal family.

Fluent, lucid and written with Plumb's characteristic brevity, this is among the best introductions you will find to the high politics of the Hanoverian period. Sir John Plumb (d.2001) was one of the finest historical writers ever published in English. He is in the tradition of Macaulay and Trevelyan. His prose is polished and perfectly cadenced, and his light style masks a profound analytical grasp of the political forces that shaped this century of Whig ascendancy. Some may accuse him of adhering to the 'Great Men' school of history. If so, he highlights all their vices as well as their virtues.

Plumb was criticised for more often making the grand sweep of historical analysis as opposed to dredging through the minutiae of historical documentation. This analysis, I believe, is flawed and inimical to the notion that for history to be worthy of the name it should be readable for a wider audience, not solely confined to the institutions where it is nurtured.

Plumb's scholarship has inspired generations of laymen; his intellectual generosity and didactic rigour has also reaped its rewards within historical departments on both sides of the Atlantic. Those inspired by the Plumb school of history, who mastered their craft under his watchful eye at Christ's College, Cambridge, include such well known names as Simon Schama, David Cannadine, Niall Ferguson and Neil Mc Kendrick.

Published in 1956, this work by Sir John Plumb has remained a classic. Plumb focuses his attention on personalities and politics of the first four members of the Hanoverian dynasty. He paints a balanced portrait of his subjects, bringing them to life, warts and all. These monarchs are fallible human beings, placed on their thrones by accident of birth. Plumb is especially judicious in his handling of George IV, who as Regent and King was viciously derided in his own time.
Plumb's treatment of the monarchs is supplemented with deft character sketches of many of the significant figures of the Georgian century; Walpole, Pitt, Wilkes, Fox, and North are among the figures included.
In his introduction, Plumb takes the reader on a survey of the world over which these sovereigns presided. This is history practiced in the manner perfected by G.M. Trevelyan; continuity co-exists with change, and the dynasty survives despite mistakes and scandals. Published when the influence of Sir Lewis Namier was at its height, The First Four Georges provided a refreshing antidote to the atomizing analysis of the Namier school. A fascinating and hugely enjoyable read.

I recommend this book to my coaching clients because it gives them a real system to develop strategy and then measure performance. Everyone wants a simple way to stay on track with their goals, and this book offers organizational planning advice, suggestions on how to effectively communicate the plan with employees, and then reports to make sure there is accountability for results.

Its a real road map on how to get where you want to go in business.Its content is practical and very useful for managers and owners.The many forms are great and puts you thru the process.Written from a Tec point of view.

This book is packed with practical information and worksheets so you really get your money's worth. All points are illustrated with actual company stories and real-world experiences. The format makes it particularly easy to read and use.

Whether you work in a large company or small, are new to business or are a long-time professional, you will find something invaluable in this book. I bought the 1st edition, and this 2nd edition adds several new sections: there is a whole new chapter devoted to Human Resources, and great sections on holding a strategic planning meeting and writing a business plan. This book should be on every business person's bookshelf - you'll use it again and again.

I found the worksheets alone in this book worth the price. When you follow the step-by-step instructions, the worksheets cull out only the data you need. With all the extraneous data out of the way, it's easy to pinpoint critical problems that you might miss otherwise. And it makes developing key indicators and reports easier as well. I think any CEO who wants to keep the company's accounting and human resource managers on top of things at all times should give them this book tomorrow...if not sooner.

I am very thankful for having read a call to prayer by J.C. Ryle. Ryle is Bold,encouraging, and affectionate in his earnest invitation for all children of God to come before Him in prayer. Prayer is crucial in the life of the believer and it is evidence that one has been born from above as Ryle mentioned. I agree completely with Ryle when he says that prayer is the most neglected duty in the church because I am evidence of this charge. I pray, but I don not really pray as Ryle would say.

To consider how we in the new covenant have direct access to God is overwhelming and humbling. Men of old could have only dreamed of such access but we have the privilege and we must take advantage of it. To be allowed to speak with the living God of the Universe is beyond comprehension and to recognize my negligence in my communing with Him is heartbreaking.

Ryle has greatly encouraged and challenged my prayer life and communion with my God. I know I do not pray like men in the Bible or great men in church history butit is my hearts desire to pray in this way. I want to know the Godhead intimately and prayer is the means to the throne of grace. It is necessary that I give more time to prayer knowing that prayer is one of the means of grace God has blessed those whom he has
adopted with. Ryle has encouraged me to pray with reverence, humility, perseverance and earnestness, in faith, in boldness, on behalf of others, with thankfulness, and watchfulness.

This book is short but really packs a punch. I read it periodically to refocus and get my bearings.

I've ordered this book as gifts for my prayer team and friends. It's a short book, but very full of concrete encouragement for us to fulfill our call to prayer.

In this short booklet, Ryle charges the reader with the necessity of prayer. He cuts through the excuses and the pretense with the simple question: "Do you pray?" Ryle's style is concise and immanently readable. He argues that prayer or the lack of prayer is the single greatest barometer for a person's status before the Lord. For "[t]o be prayerless is to be without Christ, without God, without grace, without hope, and without heaven," (p.2).

A most outstanding book and excellent read. Ryle was the Bishop of Liverpool in the late 1700s and his writing is alive with the Word of God and the intensity of the Puritans. This little salvo is a challenge to all to pray - to those who don't know the Lord to cry out for God's mercy and redemption and for those who do to cry out for God's continued hand of protection and provision in their own lives as well as for His grace and mercy in the lives of others. Ryle is straightforward in his approach on this subject asking repeatedly and simply - Do You Pray?

Yet he goes beyond the question to the meat of the issue giving strong arguments for why prayer, the most neglected duty in religion according to Ryle, is so necessary for the spiritual well-being of an individual. Once he has made his point, and made it well, Ryle turns his attention to how a person should pray. This work of prayer, according to Ryle, is so often neglected because it is such an arduous task cutting against the flesh and standing (or kneeing in this case) in direct opposition and defiance of Satan himself. Ryle encourages the Christian to pray with reverence and humility, spiritually, as a regular part of their business of life, with all perseverance, in earnestness, in faith, with boldness, with fullness, on behalf of others, with thankfulness and with watchfulness over one's prayers. He writes this to state his position on the importance of prayer: "Tell me what a man's prayers are, and I will soon tell you the state of his soul. Prayer is the spiritual pulse."

I am gaining in my appreciation for the works of J.C. Ryle - wonderfully written, challenging, yet encouraging to the heart of a true follower of Christ. Here is a man that walked with the Lord in humility and with passion and reading his works must be Timothy getting a letter from Paul. I would highly recommend A Call to Prayer to anyone wanting to know why to pray or how to pray.

This is an old-fashioned book in many ways, yet my very modern 11 year old just loved it -- I bought it sight unseen, and when I got it I was a little afraid that he might find it too young for him, but he absolutely adored it. The vocabulary does not talk down to children, and there are a lot of British words, and some that describe things most modern kids have never seen (a coal skuttle, for instance), so it was challenging enough to keep his attention. The heroine, Rosemary, has a sidekick named John, which I think also helped keep his attention -- like many boys, he likes to read about other boys in preference to girls. Th author brings the story to life slowly and magestically; it is very well written. A good read-aloud, too.

My dad, a teacher at a local polytech, would often bring home castoffs from the school's library in case I found something in them I'd enjoy. Amongst my pile of discovered treasures were illustrated paperbacks of The Wizard of Oz series, an SE Hinton that I found fascinating because it was so 'grown up' for me, and a water-damaged hardcover copy of Carbonel: The King of Cats (which had one page in it bound upside-down).

Because of all the travelling our family did, I've long since lost my childhood collection of books, but I will never forget the Summer evenings I spent imagining myself in the the far away land of Tottenham Grove - arguing with conceited black cats, eating cucumber sandwhiches for lunch, and muttering short but eloquent spells to asuage the bruised ego of a flying broom.

I admired Rosemary's take-charge, independent spirit, blushed at the hint of possible romance between her and John, and for a while, I checked every black cat I encountered for evidence of royalty.

After all these years, I'm excited to know that Carbonel is still in print because I can't wait to introduce this King of Cats to my own children. Very much a predecessor to Harry Potter, I know this story has enough thrills, suspense, fun and, yes, magic to keep even the most sophisticated young readers thoroughly entertained.

This book was one of my favorites growing up. It is an excellent tale of a magic cat and a witch's hat, broom, and cauldron, which 2 children bring together to restore Carbonel's rightful place as King of the Cats. Animal lovers will enjoy this book very much.

My 4th grade teacher read this to us. She made us put our heads on our desk while she read to us, we all felt we were much too old for this book but were instantly drawn in and couldn't wait till she got to the end. I loved this book as a child, and as a parent, and now a grandparent. If your younger child loves Harry Potter, this is a great book, especially for a girl. It has a strong female protagonist and just enough humor, as well as mystery and magic, to keep everyone interested.

This was a favorite book from my childhood. I just ordered it for my own daughter, who just loves cats. (We have three.) Even though she's 15, she still loved reading "Carbonel: The King of Cats." I'm so pleased that it's back in print! Some children's books are so good that you don't have to be young to enjoy them. This is one.

I think I must have forgotten just how good a writer Greg Rucka is, which is maybe why I was so generally surprised after reading the first TPB of Checkmate. Taking place after the events of OMAC Project and Infinite Crisis in particular, the covert government operation known as Checkmate is reassembled and rebooted with some new blood at the helm. Justice Society of America teammates Mr. Teriffic and original Green Lantern Alan Scott are among them, as are former Batman flame and former OMAC tool Sasha Bordeux, and the seemingly always scheming Amanda Waller. Without giving too much away, the first collected volume of Checkmate revolves around the new direction and purpose laid before them, which is made even better by Rucka's underlining political and social commentary that while somewhat slight, is present. Rucka's OMAC Project partner Jesus Saiz provides excellent artwork as usual as well, and as a whole, Checkmate becomes addicting and satisfying comic reading that is loaded with twists, turns, action, espionage, intelligence, and some nice surprises. There has been a good amount of acclaim laid down on Checkmate, and if you haven't checked it out yet, believe the hype and see for yourself.

A very political book, but I knew that coming in. Some good plot twists, like the white king's firing and the relationship implications of Mr. Terrific's impending coronation. Kobra feels generic as the villain, and seven comics isn't enough to keep track of so many characters. However, a few stand out - Fire, the Swiss girl, Vertigo. A good first volume of a series that takes a while to pick up momentum.

I really like the way they take former heroes and villains and put them in an espionage setting. They have to make difficult moral choices because lives are at stake. Best comic of this type since Suicide Squad. Welcome back Amanda Wall

'Checkmate' is an international organization that deals with metahuman threats in a political and covert manner. The book is not a standard beat-'em-up, and readers with particularly short attention spans may find it not to their liking. But everyone else should definitely check out 'Checkmate'.

The characters are intriguing, and while I can't say they mesh well, it's that friction that creates some great drama in the series. There are the agents that come from strong military backgrounds, who aren't afraid to kill. They are at odds with the agents who come from traditionally superheroic backgrounds, who are never okay with it. The book doesn't get preachy either way, taking a definitive stance on this issue or any other - instead, it lets the characters words and actions speak for themselves.

The dialogue is crisp and, for the most part, sharp, and the same can be said of the art, making this one of the most well put-together titles DC has going for them right now.

If you have ever wanted a more international approach to superheroic fiction, check out Checkmate. If you have ever wanted a comic that dealt seriously and without judgement about political issues and games, check out Checkmate. If you just want an interesting, fun, well-written book, check out Checkmate.

I love this book. It's not a standard superhero read: you have to pay attention to the Checkmate roles, ranks and nomenclature at first (just like in a spy novel). Great tales, a cool alternate angle to the DC Universe. Rucka is writing a winner...

The Children's Ministry Resource Bible is the best. With all the helpful lessons in it, right with the text, anyone can easily teach an evangelistic or discipleship lesson for children. There are more resources in in that I have ever used and I have had one for over 10 years. A constant friend and companion for a Bible teacher for children, my Children's Ministry Bible is the totally the BEST!!

Special features: "The Wordless Book" uses colors to present the gospel message *Teacher Training section shows how to communicate Bible stories simply *Lesson outlines *Footnotes clarify important terms, phrases, and ideas *Concordance *Color maps *Presentation page *and more! size 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 1 1/2" 1760 pages hardcover from Nelson

I saw this at "Teaching Children Effectively" by Child Evangelism Fellowship. This looks like the perfect companion to the level 1 training. If you are a Sunday School teacher, Good News Club leader, AWANA Director, or Children's ministry worker, this is the book for you.

This resource is the best resource that I have seen. It is a great resouce for studing the bible as well as a resouce for teaching children.

This book is simply the New King James Version of the Holy Bible with a lot of extra's like good study notes, dozens of lesson plans, job aids, teacher training lessons, and other resources. It lives up to its title. I have used it for four years and have shared it with my Christian friends. A must have if you're a Sunday School teacher in a scripturely based church. Also a good tool for Christian Home School teachers.

This Bible is such a great resource! It's NKJ so it's a literal translation and there are footnotes for all the words kids might not understand. There are lessons throughout it that each present the gospel message in a way that both ties into the lesson and is clear for even very young children. I can't say enough good things about this Bible, even if you don't teach children, it is still an excellent resource. Anyone who has kids in their home or anyone who knows a kid should have this in their library.
