Finished with a read through the Bible in the year challenge. I am switching to a new version for a group that I joined.

When I look for a Bible, I look for one that is not only easy to read, but one that is eye catching and pretty. The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible is all that an more! I loved this book. When I opened it, the first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful clothlike feel to the cover. Very appealing, in my opinion. The next thing I liked about this Bible is that on the inside you find lots of places to color, doodle or write down your thoughts on the verses you're learning. Extremely nice aspect. As a person who loves to do some adult coloring books in her spare time, this makes reading the Bible a whole new experience, for sure. The final thing I loved about this Bible, is that it is in the easy to read NIV version. I definitely recommend this Bible, with all it's easy readability, it's fun pages and it's beautiful cover, to all those who love a fancy new Bible. Highly flying 5 stars, no question!

My daughter has seen me read and annotate in my Bibles since she was born. When she was about three, I caught her “writing” all over one of her illustrated Bibles. It made my heart happy because I knew she was trying to be like mommy! When Bella turned 6, she asked for a “real” Bible, so my husband and I bought her a Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for girls. At 6, the Bible was still too advanced for her, but she loved to sit next to me while I was reading and annotating and work in hers. She has written and colored all over her book. All of this to say, my daughter and I have a lot of experience with this fantastic Bible for girls. Having one the past 18 months has been a real blessing to both me and Bella. She is working on creating a foundational relationship with God, and I am loving watching her “annotate” and color.
PROS — What Bella and I like the MOST
Tons of journaling space! If you write a lot of notes and thoughts and prayers in the side margins of your Bibles, this is a Bible for you.
Great coloring pages. Some are full-page coloring pages, and some are side-margin coloring spots. All coloring pages illustrate key Bible verses.
When there are notes at the bottom of a page, they are very helpful. As a mom, I like these notes because they help my daughter understand what she is reading a little better.
The text is easy to read. I am a fan of ESV translations, but that is way too difficult a translation for my almost-eight-year-old. The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls is perfect for her. I have Bella read to me, and so far, she hasn’t had any real struggles with the language in this text.
CONS — What Bella and I don’t like
We don’t have any CONS!
The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls is an excellent starter Bible for girls, and I highly recommend it. What an excellent gift to give to your daughter or granddaughter this Christmas!
