My oldest son has been using the Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids from Zondervan during our daily Bible study.

The Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for kids is a hardbound NIV children’s bible and is recommended for ages 9-12.  Upon opening the Bible you have a color photo that has all the books of the Bible listed and labeled (law, history, poetry, etc) which is very helpful in my opinion. For kids, it’s nice having the color coated chart for the books of the bible.

Big Dreams, Big Prayers Bible for Kids isn’t just a Bible.  It is also filled with  devotions, prayers and highlighted verses to help teach kids how to pray and listen for God’s answers to their prayers.   The devotions are about people who prayed and listened to God such as Abraham, Hannah and Job.  At the beginning of every book is a page that tells more information on that particular book. It has who wrote it, why it was written and even some of the stories that can be found in that book.  My eight-year old has really enjoyed reading these beginning pages and learn more about the books of the Bible. The chapters are easy to navigate.  The pages are very clean and the chapters are very clearly marked.  Also throughout this Bible you will find highlighted verses.  These verses are marked because they reveal specific words about conversations with God.  They are perfect for memorizing and for remembering what it means to talk to God.

Throughout the Bible you’ll find beautiful color pages like:
• The 10 Commandment for Kids
• The Lords Prayer
• Prayer Is (an easy guide to prayer is to use your hands. Each finger can remind you who to pray for).
• The ABCs of becoming a Christian 

In the back of this Bible you will find three reading plans to help guide you in your Bible reading.
Course 1: Introduction to the Bible
Course 2: A Guided Tour of the Bible
Course 3: Every Word In The Bible

Also in the back of the Bible, you’ll find a prayer journal. You simply record your prayers to God-and his answers back to you! Later when you read your requests and God’s answers to your prayers, you will be encouraged and built up in your faith.

God is good!
