I recently reviewed Egermeier’s Interactive Bible Story Book and shared about how it is the perfect next step resource between the Jesus Story Book Bible and a traditional Bible for your growing children. Well, today, I have a Bible recommendation for you that is the perfect next step up from that Bible Story Book to when your child is ready for an actual word-for-word Bible: the Explorer Bible for Kids.
Here is its official description:
The CSB Explorer Bible for Kids is made to help kids place God’s Word in the middle of God’s world. Within its pages, kids will explore and interact with the people, places, and things of the Bible and God’s creation. This Bible features an engaging full-color design with images, illustrations, timelines, and study helps placed throughout to equip kids to better read, understand, and apply God’s Word for a lifetime.
FEATURES
- Book introductions to help kids understand the key truths and takeaways for every book, including the “Who, What, When, Where, and Why”

Part of what makes the CSB Explorer Bible for Kids so special is the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB’s optimal blend of accuracy and readability makes it a trustworthy, easy-to-understand resource for kids to study and memorize today—and to live and share for a lifetime.
This is the Bible I have been looking for for my children as they grow. It is in the Christian Standard Bible, my translation of choice and the one I recommend most often, which I really appreciate.
Additionally, each of the special study features of this Bible equip your children well to grow in their Bible literacy and their understanding of the historical and cultural contexts of Scripture (something that is often very lacking in many believers today!). This is the Bible I wish I had had growing up! I highly recommend it.
