The NAS is sort of our favored version, as well. The children seem to be able to connect with it better when I read. .-= Dana´s last blog ..And the winner is… =-.

Beautiful! I love old bibles and old illustrated bibles, especially. Why do our modern versions either have to be cartoony for children or merely include a small insert with a few illustrations? .-= Dana´s last blog ..And the winner is… =-.

I want a copy of the 1883 illustrated Douay-Rheims Bible like this one but the originals sell for around $500. .-= Crimson Wife´s last blog ..Spring Semester Update Pt. 1 =-.

Hi,
I found you through the Homestead Carnival and have been enjoying your posts for a while.
I have tended to steer clear of all the different Bibles and simply use the new American Standard Bible. We have 10 children with 8 still at home and we read together morning (Ps and Prov) and evening (Chapt per night reading throught the Bible). All the children have the NAS which makes it easy to read together with the children taking turns. I agree that with so many different ones it is overwhelming! I would be interested in looking at the Archaological Study Bible based on your recommendation though.

You spend longer than anyone I know looking for a bible. And you're the one that first told me about the Archaelogical Study Bible so phltht (insert raspberry). .-= Dana´s last blog ..The quest for a bible =-.

You shop at Family Christian? That aside it is disturbing. Which shall I buy, the bible for men, women, married couples, singles, military blah blah blah. Here’s an idea. How about a bible that says bible on the front and read it. Soon one will find that it is for everybody, without the commercialization of the text. I wonder if Luther would rail against todays versions.

My wife found the Spark Story Bible (http://tinyurl.com/yk6p3sq) last year at the National Youth Convention. The kids (4 and 3) love the pictures in it. We have about 3 or 4 different children bibles and this is by far the best. Its BIG though.

Not sure its what your looking for though. I would love a bible with illustrations like the one you posted.

That is a treasure! And such things look nice a little beat up, I think!

Oh, it would! When I got to Idaho I found a large, used-to-be-white Bible on the floor of my husband’s car. When I picked it up, I couldn’t believe he’d kept it on the floor.

It is not in the best repair, but it is a treasure. His grandmother had given him the old family Bible. It is full of Renaissance style artwork. And it is now stored on the end table, not the car floor. (In Dylan’s defense, he had been reading it before work, and he was sort of living out of his car before we were reunited.
