Zonderkidz Bibles use cool, kid-friendly features to encourage Bible study and devotion. Children can develop a lifelong habit of studying God’s Word with Zonderkidz Bibles. To help you select the right children’s Bible, please follow the four question quide below.

1. How will the child use the Bible?
Will it be for reading or storytelling, to begin memorizing Scripture, or to introduce the child to the stories of the Bible?

For storytelling to preschool kids, we suggest The Beginner’s Bible and the NIrV Read with Me Bible.

For memorizing Scripture, all Bibles can help, but more specifically, the NIV Adventure Bible and the NIrV Kids’ Study Bible have appropriate key verses kids can relate to and apply to their daily lives.

A great Bible to introduce stories and characters of the Bible is the NIrV Super Heroes Bible and the NIrV Kids’ Quest Study Bible.

2. What is the spiritual and emotional development of the child?

If you're not sure, two great Bibles for 8 to 12 year olds include the NIV 2:52 Boys Bible and the NIV Young Women of Faith Bible.

For younger kids, the NIrV Adventure Bible for Young Readers and the NIrV Kids’ Devotional Bible are two great full-text Bibles for 6 to 10 year olds.

3. Has the child begun asking questions about God; or are they more interested in learning by repetition?

A great Bible loaded with tons of questions for kids by kids is the NIrV Kids’ Quest Study Bible.

4. What is the reading level of the child? Will the child need to be read to, or are they able to read by themselves? Can they put what they learn into practice?

Answers to these questions will help you choose the right Bible.
