A New Bible For Families

Yesterday, I received a new Bible written for families.  It is called the Hands-On Bible (NLT) .  My feelings about this Bible are a little complicated.  I love the Bible extras, activities, and comments that are added in.  But, the NLT is not the translation of the Bible I usually choose to read. I think that often we can choose a Bible by one of two ways: #1 First, choose the translation, and then #2 choose which publication of that Bible (ie. study bible, large print, children's, etc.) or #1 Choose the Bible you like the most based on the comments and features of that edition, without putting primary importance on which translation it is. If I were simply choosing a Bible to read as a family, without concern about which translation it is, then I would definitely choose this one.  I really liked the activities and ideas of how to convey different ideas to your kids.  I would say that this Bible is good for families with children ages 5-12.  ...
