The Golden Children's Bible Review
User Submitted The Golden Children's Bible ReviewsNovember 24, 2008 Beautiful Bible for Kids Beautiful illustrations and stories that are easy to understand without being too juvenile. We use this book after Church to review the Gospel lesson each Sunday. November 6, 2008 Too Much Unity A note on the back of this book reads that it "has been approved by an editorial board consisting of leaders from the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths". Although this is meant as a selling point, it appears to be a precise description of what ails this otherwise promising book. - Overall coverage of the Bible is good, but I have not read each and every chapter to assess the accuracy of the translation. I assume compromises have been made to satisfy "the board". However, the language is clear and easy to understand. - Illustrations are good. I find the presence of maps a nice addition. - There are introductions to each chapter, and this would be okay, except for the obvious problem of interjecting doctrinal ideas that may not be compatible with your faith. This is easily a book that could be read and shown to children, but because of the syncretistic nature of the content, I would not recommend turning the book over to unattended youngsters. October 17, 2008 Beautifully Told & Beautifully Illustrated! I had this bible when I was a child and I LOVED it. I am elated to find that it is still in print and available for purchase! With that said, I am a Black American. I always found the artwork that accompanied the scriptures in this bible to be beautiful and I STILL do! Granted, by today's standards the illustrations are not cullturally diverse, but then neither are paintings from the Renaissance period. Does that mean that Michaelangelo's paintings are less beautiful because they don't depict diversity? Think about it. The message of the scripture is what truly counts. God made us all and loves us all, no matter our ethnicity. No one living today can say that the illustrations are acurate in their telling of the scripture. If this bible has 1 slight, that would be it. Regardless, it's still God's word no matter how the characters are painted. September 16, 2008 Fantastic! This purchase is by far one of the best ones ever made. The pictures are fantastic and it is written in a way my two little boys can understand. They love to sit and listen while I read to them from their Bible. May 24, 2008 Golden Children's Bible I bought this book for each of the kindergarten class students at my childrens' school and they all loved it. The teacher was very grateful and I've never seen so many children in awe over the wonderful pictures that this book has. I would recommend this book for any age child that wants to learn about God and Jesus Christ. Great Book!!!!!! April 25, 2008 children's bible This is a great bible for older kids. My girls are enjoying reading it on their own. March 27, 2008 ..the catalyst for my faith... I, too, am a child of the seventies. This Bible was my first book, the one I took to my bed for the stories and the beautiful pictures. It was a happy accident that my parents settled on this version, and the appeal it has for children cannot be overstated. I homeschool my three children, who are as attached to their own copies as I was as a child. I've accumulated many Bibles, and have come across none as accessible as this version. It is true that the pictorial representations are often inaccurate, as noted in other reviews. They are beautifully done, though, and present an opportunity to teach our kids other important lessons. March 25, 2008 Allelula The Golden Children's Bible The service was excellent and the child receiving this book is well satisfied with it. February 25, 2008 Best Children's Bible I've had this one since I was a child, 35 years ago. My 3 and 5 year old daughters love it. When I purchased other children's Bibles, they always asked me to read from the old one. Unfortunately it was falling apart, which prompted me to search it out. I was very pleased to discover it was back in print. The cover is different, but everything else is exactly the same. The artwork in the book is the best of all the children's Bibles. It's very life like and I believe that is why my daughters love it so much. I do however skip over some of the more gruesome parts when reading it. They don't need to know David cut off Goliaths head and carried it around with him. February 13, 2008 Thank You Thanks for being here when I need a book. I really appreciate your promptness.
