The NASB Adventure Bible is a sturdy hardback Bible for kids. The front cover has a slick look, with lively koalas and kangaroos, promoting the adventure component to this #1 Bible for kids. The book includes full biblical text, maps, a topical index, concordance, and so much more.

displayed in the traditional two-column design with numbered chapters and verses. One standout characteristic is the colorful facts, illustrations, activities, and questions sections. Some of the special topic pages, such as the list of the twelve disciples, Famous Children of the Bible, The Lord’s Prayer, etc. are glossy, full-page illustrations that make this Bible especially vibrant.

Two of the most interesting features (for me) are 1. the description pages proceeding each Bible book that explains who wrote the book, why and when it was written, key people or meanings it contains, etc. and 2. the ABC’s of How to know you are a Christian segment within the first few pages of the Bible, delivering the plan of salvation in a clear, concise, and easy to understand way.

It truly is an adventure discovering how people lived in Bible times and participating in the provided activities that help readers apply biblical truths in daily life.

The inclusion of a lovely presentation page (something I always look for) this children’s Bible makes a meaningful and memorable gift.

If you will receive my words and treasure my commandments within you… If you seek [wisdom] as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:1, 4-5
