Minecrafter's Bible - The New Way of Engaging with Kids

A long, long, loooong time ago, I had a Bible for kids. It was in an easy-to-read version and I marked up many pages with highlighter. I don't think it had any pictures.

Boy, we have come a long way. This Bible is made just for kids. Obviously, being Minecraft-themed, it's built for that demographic, but there's much more:

  • It's light and small - the hardcover makes it durable and feel like a real book, but the size of the Bible makes it easier for kids to hold and flip through.
  • It's got lots of color - 24 pages of Minecraft-y pictures and content and an engaging color cover. The art is lots of fun and all in Minecraft brick style. 
  • Minecraft applications - several pages distributed throughout the book have boxy illustrations with a summary of the story (i.e., Noah's ark, 10 commandments, Jesus is born, feeding the  5,000, etc.). Each includes suggested passages to read and a Minecraft-based application (i.e., have your character go fishing, try to recreate the tabernacle). Fun and a cool way to use the game in a different way (and get kids' minds going about other things they can apply).
  • It's in NIrV - NIV, but for young readers. After reading a few passages, I knew the content would sink in with kids. 
  • Extras - a nice "This Bible is Presented to" flyleaf, a dictionary, and listing of great Bible stories.
If you know anyone who is obsessed with Minecraft (not too hard to find these days), this is the Bible to put in their hands. Even if they aren't familiar with Minecraft, I think they'll get a lot out of this Bible.

Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
