God’s Big Plans for Me Storybook Bible is a must have for preschoolers through third graders who want to have a storybook Bible for reading pleasure or using as devotions. This is available in hardcover or in ebook form.

God’s Big Plans for Me Storybook Bible illustrates the forty foundational principles written in Pastor Rick Warren’s bestseller The Purpose Driven Life. Written in child-friendly language with well-done beautiful illustrations and a chronological approach.
The stories are aligned with one of his foundational principles that include closing thoughts, applications, verses in the actual Bible to read, and leave you feeling like this is more than a bunch of fictional stories. It has more of a devotional feel that includes Bible stories.

God’s Big Plans for Me Storybook Bible will bring Bible stories to life for readers young and old. The cover is beautiful and has foil decorations on the cover.

This book would be an excellent addition to personal libraries, homeschools, Christian schools, daycares and church libraries. An invaluable guide to introducing children to God’s word and Bible stories.

My thoughts: THE NIV BEAUTIFUL WORD BIBLE FOR GIRLS is absolutely gorgeous. My two teen daughters and I love the cover and the art work and its so colorful. 

This book would make an adorable gift for your favorite girl for Easter. I wish it was available in the KJV or NKJV for those KJV only crowd.  I also wish that verses weren't eliminated from the NIV.  

There are wide margins for notes and doodles, and any artwork in the book is already precolored.  (My daughter was disappointed about that. She wanted to color them)  All in all, this is a truly beautiful NIV Bible that your girl will be proud to carry.
