Created in partnership with RE:Quest, (a major UK-based online educational resource designed to help teachers and students explore Christianity in schools) this fantastic new Bible was developed using the ideas and feedback of parents, teachers and children ensuring it provides a brilliant Bible reading experience for a child. Adopting an educational tone, it is perfect for use in schools and churches. The colourful interactions and beautiful illustrations will keep children engaged as they delve into the text.
We’ve previously reviewed the Youth edition and Family edition of this Bible (find them in our recommended resource library!) and we love the designs and fonts of the whole series. We think these are fab! It is modern, engaging and doesn’t look boring inside and outside. They’ve created a Bible which will intrigue children and help them be excited about reading God’s word and discovering more about who God is.
You could use this Bible at home, as a gift to give when children join your kids church (or other occasion), you could use them in sunday school or in schools.
It is aimed at kids age 6-13 years old. (it could be used with those slightly younger with adult supervision – perhaps as a bedtime story. Its hardback so it hardwearing too.
What makes this the best full-text Bible for children?
- Two-colour throughout — helping to break up the text, highlight key information and improve visual appeal
- 16 beautiful new colour illustrations, chosen by children
- Key word list, helping to unpack and provide context for some of the main theological concepts found in the Bible

It’s so important that children can understand the big picture of the Bible
“Children need to see how the Bible relates to their lives. The reading trails, facts, and questions featured in the Good News Bible – Children’s Rainbow Edition are great tools and prompts to help families show their children how their lives fit into God’s big story”.
