Have you ever used a magnifying glass? It makes everything bigger and easier to see, right? Detectives and scientists magnify things to understand them better. Well that's just what this Bible does-it's a magnifying glass to help children understand the Word of God better. The Bible is a gift from God, but many of the things written in the Bible are hard for kids to understand. In fact, sometimes they're downright mysterious to kids. Using kid-friendly language and a detective theme, the two color NIV Investigator's Holy Bible explains the Bible text for kids ages 6-10. Two central mystery-solving characters invite children to investigate the Bible using the following features: *Evidence-Bible book introductions answer what kind of book it is, who wrote it, what happens, and the "best part" *Breakthrough-answers questions kids might ask, such as "Who were the Philistines?" and "What is The Spirit of God?" *Scene-includes descriptions highlighting geographical information pertinent to a verse *Witness-explains the meaning and history behind Biblical names *Detective-quizzes students on what they have learned *Case Closed-explores how the events of a particular book of the Bible relate to children as individuals
