The NIV ActionStudy Bible, published by David C. Cook, who kindly sent me a copy to
review, provides faith-building,
character-building insights into God’s Word. The lively illustrations by
comic-book artist Sergio Cariello will appeal to young readers, hopefully
drawing them to read and reread this reader-friendly New International Version of the Bible.
Other special features in this small-print edition
include:
Remember It –
presents key Bible verses to memorize.
What About
This? – responds to questions many young readers wonder about but might not
know whom to ask. For example, “Why Did God Create People?” and “How Do I
Receive the Holy Spirit.”
Unlock It! –
adds insights to the surrounding passages.
Guess It! –
helps young people recall what they've read.
Find It! –
uses icons to help readers do just that.
Activate –
shows how to apply what’s been read.
Ancient
Archives – describe the peoples, cultures, and eras so readers can picture
and “be there” too.
In addition, the concordance, dictionary, and index guides
to the above features will help readers to find what they want and gain a
better understanding of God’s Word.
Also, in the back matter, the inclusion of maps and
brief guides to centuries of ruling powers will connect Bible stories
to historical world events and their geographical locations - places where only the
names seem to change as people are people, no matter the era, and God is God.
