About this title

Review:

"The Bible is for children too–and in many ways for children especially since Jesus tells us that those who come to him must come as little children. This is a serious study Bible for kids. It doesn't patronize children with low expectations but addresses them as fellow followers of and joint heirs with Christ. I look forward to using this Bible extensively with my children. I recommend it highly."
—Russell D. Moore, President, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission

“Imagine...a generation of young people who are wholly committed to enjoying God because they understand and love the unified message of the Bible. The theologically rich study helps in this Bible will prove to be a powerful resource for our children as they seek to walk in the truth.”
—Gloria Furman, author, Missional Motherhood and Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full

"As the mother of an 8 year old boy, I was thrilled to learn about the ESV Following Jesus Bible. Reading this Bible will enable him to learn in greater depth the who, what, when, where, and why of the Scriptures. With great illustrations, clear definitions of key terms, and character analysis, kids will gain foundational understanding of God’s Word before transitioning to a more advanced edition. The ESV Following Jesus Bible is a perfect next step from elementary Bible teaching to the pre-teen years."
—Trillia Newbell, author, God’s Very Good Idea; Enjoy; and Fear and Faith

"The clear explanations regarding customs, terms, and concepts contained in the ESV Following Jesus Bible make it a helpful guide to understanding the Bible text for children, while maintaining the integrity of the ESV text. Children will benefit from this edition."
—David and Sally Michael, founders of Children Desiring God, Minneapolis, MN
