A Beautiful Story
I bought this book as a present to my young daughter. I found myself reading it and found it to be a good, comprehensive story about the life of Jesus.

love this bible
My 10 year old daughter and I love this bible. We read it together every night, usually two chapters a night. It is great because it is pretty accurate, yet easy to understand. I would recommend it for kids 7-10 or even older. If you child is still too young for the real bible but too old for the baby ones, this one is perfect.

Poetry for the Soul - 700 Best loved Christian Poems
Mary Batchelor makes three assumptions: she wants to present poetry that has enduring qualities (depth of thought and a journeyman's sound and metrical craft); it addresses the want of the Christian for solid verse; and it restricts (or excerpts) the verse to roughly a page in length. There is no chaff in this book. What a pleasure to open up a book that sets itself up as a trite-free zone. ...
