The Catholic Children's Bible: Good News Translation

Product Information

Even though the stories are very brief, this bible does an excellent job of mentioning important biblical details, and telling the most well known stories. It also has a large collection of stories, so it’s a very good overview bible for kids. Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear.” And it happened. 10 God named the dry land “earth.” He named the water that was gathered together “seas.” God saw that this was good. Personally, I really do like to use this on my prayer table. I think the golden edges and traditional cover make it a great choice for a classroom bible. The stories are told from a Catholic perspective, so that’s always a positive. Kids can learn the best when we bring things to them on their own level, but still deliver the truth. There is a way to make the stories such that they are not watered down, but they can be understood by children. This is why having a good children’s bible is so important- so you can read the bible stories to your kids (or they can read them to themselves) and understand the story in a way they can connect with. Children’s Bibles Are A Great Value While the illustration style is not my favorite, the hardcover is sturdy and thus gets brought to Mass with us.

Bible Genesis 1 ICB - The Beginning of the World - In the - Bible

It is long and includes a lot of bible stories that typical children’s bibles don’t include, which is nice. At the time, the only translation available was the NRSV, which is not my favorite, but there are several choices now. I like to have the NAB because it’s the translation that is read at Mass. So if I were buying one now, that’s the one I would get (and it’s what I linked to above). I definitely think it’s good for teens to have their own bibles rather than just sharing from the family stash. That way they can feel free to take notes, etc. I would say I would get one for Lydia soon (she’s 14) but she seriously still loves her Catholic Children’s Bible (from above) and she has a journaling bible (below). It is tied to the liturgical year. Beginning in Autumn, it walks through Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, Septuagesima, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and Corpus Christi.However, the actual Bible holds primacy always. Sacred Scripture is the actual Word of God, and our kids need to hear it. It is this Word that is living and effective, it is this Word that does not return to the Father void. Reading Sacred Scripture to our children plants the seeds deeply in their hearts. (This is why we always encourage reading from the actual Bible throughout our resources). This is one I’ll have my kids read as they approach Confirmation as another review of the story God has been writing in the world since the beginning. You can find even more bible resources for kids here including free printables, scripture memory resources, the best children’s bibles, and more! I absolutely love Tomie dePoala as an author, and Tomie dePaola’s Book Of Bible Stories is no exception! This is a beautiful picture book for Catholic children. In fact, this is the most beautiful actually Catholic picture bible for Catholic kids that I have ever seen. The illustrations are cute and whimsical, and because the author is Catholic, you don’t have to worry about the perspective the stories are told from.

Catholic Children’s Bible: English Standard Version

In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. 2 The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit was moving over the water.Well to be fair, at this point there is only 1 Catholic children’s Bible that is actually a Bible. You know, with all the verses, stories- like a complete Bible. It’s called The Catholic Children’s Bible, and you know what? It. is. awesome! But it’s not the right thing for little kids that are not yet ready to understand the complete bible stories as written. My family voted The Action Bible the best for older kids, and kids that like comic books. The Picture Book Bible I always thought The Catholic Picture Bible was beautiful, but my kids overwhelmingly agreed that it was the least appealing of our bibles for kids. You can see here that I like to use it as my prayer table bible. Lydia helped me out by making this list for all of you. I hope this helps you choose your children’s bible with confidence!

Catholic Bible for Children - Into the Deep The Best Catholic Bible for Children - Into the Deep

What matters most is that we share the Word of God with our children. Let the Word dwell in them richly, forming their consciences and inspiring them to the greatness for which they were created! I think journaling bibles are absolutely great for teens (and even younger children) and I have a seperate post recommending journaling bibles for Catholics here. Blessedly, many people have completed the task of making these stories accessible for kids of all ages. There is a variety of Catholic children’s Bibles on the market today, so how do we know which one(s) to choose?So God made the two large lights. He made the brighter light to rule the day. He made the smaller light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God put all these in the sky to shine on the earth. 18 They are to rule over the day and over the night. He put them there to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that all these things were good. 19 Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fourth day. Ya’ll… in my opinion, The Tiny Truths Bible is not a good children’s bible. I recently bought it, and it was in the pictures I took so I didn’t want to skip it, but I don’t recommend buying this children’s bible.

I brought in my kids on this, spread out all of our children’s bibles, and we had a discussion about which ones they like the best and why. The kids weighed in from ages 8-14, and I’m going to share their thoughts and mine with all of you!
