With sales of over 1.25 million copies, The Lion First Bible is a time-tested Bible for beginning readers and is available for the first time in North America in 2015. The Bible includes more than sixty stories, carefully written and crafted with consideration of the true meaning of the Bible, and the capability of the reader’s understanding. It is sincere yet lively, and provides an excellent foundation for a growing knowledge of the Bible. The engaging illustrations and clear layout make this ideal for children in early elementary.
