NIrv Beginner's Bible Devotional Pack

This is the sweetest Bible/Devotional duo for kids!!  The Kid-Sized Devotions are very short and sweet!  There are devotions for each day for 1 year.  There is a presentation page in the front, then the devotions to "grow closer to God", and at the very end, the "ABC's of Salvation"!  I had never heard past the C in this--and they have every letter except X and Z.  I was very impressed by this!  Each devotion starts with a Bible verse, and a very short devotional.  It also has a main point in a highlighted area, and ends with a very short prayer.  This devotional book is geared for preschoolers.

The NIrv Beginners Bible is pretty much a straight Bible.  They say it is geared for children 6-10, but I would think it could go a bit older.  It has a presentation page in the beginning, and what I thought was really cool was on the back of the presentation page, it said, "My name is _____________.  I am _____________ years old.  I received this book for ______________."  I just really liked that personal aspect.  This Bible then has typical things like table of contents, then the books of the Bible in alphabetical order.  The next thing I liked was the next page "Getting to Know Jesus".  It is short (2 pages), and has a question and answer format.  "How can I get to know Jesus?  Who is Jesus?  Why did Jesus have to die?  Does Jesus love me?  Will Jesus ever stop loving me?"  etc.    It has very few pictures (18 pictures - that is 9 pages, front and back).  This Bible has very small margins, they almost go to the edge of the pages, and has 2,034 pages, including all the helps.  Immediately following the Bible there is a small dictionary, and then a section of 150 famous Bible stories and where they are found--I Loved this section!!

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received both these hardcover Devotional book and Bible free from the publisher through BookLook Bloggers for my honest review.   I was not required to write a positive review.
