In a sparkling and upbeat approach, the NIV Faithgirlz Bible shares the Word of God in an aesthetic fashion to which girls will be drawn. With unique features, this Bible will help girls grow closer to God as they journey through the pages.

Each book begins with a colorful introduction highlighting the main topic and how it applies to their lives. This feature not only addresses when the book was written and where it takes place but also advises readers of cool characters and bad guys to watch for along the way.

Throughout the pages, various highlighted sections encourage readers to ask questions, take quizzes and dream or tell a Bible story in their own words. Can you imagine yourself as Esther in an almost fairytale-like scene when the moment arrives for her to stand before the king? “Dream Girl” uses such scenarios to put readers into the story.

Is There a Little (Esther) in you? If you answer yes to any of three questions, perhaps you possess some similar traits. This can help girls see their own good qualities. In order to get to know themselves better, “Bring It On” asks multiple-choice questions, then points to Bible verses for encouragement.

Did you ever wonder why Jesus cried? “Oh, I Get It” highlights answers to questions such as these. There’s also a section, “In Your Own Words,” that allows readers to create a list of events to tell their own version of the Bible story. “Treasure This!” highlights verses to memorize and keep close to the heart.

A wonderful resource, the NIV Faithgirlz Bible not only will draw tween girls to read God’s Word but will provide the basis for which they may grow in faith and service to our Lord Jesus Christ.
