Big Red, our eight year old declared that he only owns a “New Testament” Bible and needs and “Old Testament”. This kind of shocked me since we own a ton of children’s story Bibles but then I got to thinking and he is correct. He does not OWN his OWN BIBLE! Since we are listening to the Bible daily for our homeschool curriculum I didn’t even think about him wanting or needing his own text. He ran off and grabbed his dad’s Bible and started reading part of Genesis which we have been studying as part of History and Bible.
I decided right then and there that this boy is getting a Bible for Christmas if not before. I know that many churches give Bibles to children who get saved or baptized and since we are not attending a church we will give him one as his parents. We are not translation specific although we are listening to KJV or NIV via the Bible App.
