TOS Crew Review - Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids

The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids is a great Biblical resource for families with children of all ages! Although it is technically written for children ages 5-10, even the adults in our house have really enjoyed using it.
With over 750 definitions, and over 500 beautiful photos and illustrations, this Bible Dictionary really helps bring characters, places, and concepts in the Bible to life! The illustrations include beautiful artwork, maps, photographs, charts, and reconstructions - all laid out in an inviting and eye-catching way, without being overwhelming or cluttered. The definitions given are written clearly and accurately, and in an easy-to-understand way, so that even young children can get a good idea of what a difficult word means.

When this book first arrived at our house, it was not looked at like a dictionary at all! Both myself and my oldest son (age 10) sat down with it and read it from cover to cover (we had to take turns, of course). It is that captivating! The younger guys in my family like to ask questions about the pictures, which brings up wonderful little teaching moments about God's Word.

I loved reviewing this product and am thankful we will have it in our house for years to come. If you are looking for a Bible resource that is definitely kid-friendly without being overly simple or condescending, the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids fits the bill perfectly. At only $14.99 from Lifeway Christian Bookstores (who provided the book for this review), this hardcover, info-packed book is a great addition to any Christian family's library. I highly recommend it! You can get an idea of what it looks like inside by taking a peek here.
