The Velveteen Bible Review

These are my personal thoughts and opinions of The Velveteen Bible from Tommy Nelson Publishers. This is a precious first bible. It comes in a protective keepsake box in which you can store it. There is some kind of magnet in the lid because it will normally stay closed. The box is covered in "velvet" like material making it a sensory experience for young ones. I like that this bible is in New King James Version because I personally feel that is as close to the original as possible but still able to be understood. This bible is about eleven hundred pages approximately. One disadvantage is that the print is quite small but is still fine nonetheless. There is a cool reference in the very back of the bible that is a tool to read your bible through in a year. It lists the days and then which scriptures to read in the morning and then also in the evenings. There are three sections of pictures dispersed throughout the bible. The pictures are of a sweet watercolor like painting of animals with a verse printed. I think these would be very cute as memory verses or something like that. All in all I am pleased with this bible as a first bible for my daughter.
