iShine Bible {Review}

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
In our house we LOVE iShine! All things iShine. When I saw that they were coming out with a Bible for girls and boys I knew we were going to want to see it. Just like the show it did not disappoint!! It is the NLT translation which is nice and understood by tweens. My daughter is 7 and she loves it!

We absolutely love all that iShine stands for and their devotion to wanting to "Equipping tweens and their families to illuminate and reveal their value, identity and purpose in Christ."

Through this Bible you run across 3 sections where they address that "you are a V.I.P in God's eyes." They have on each section a smart phone code that will take you to an iShine webpage that has a video message about that section's topic as well as a music video by one of iShine's artists like Mission Six, The Rubyz, or Siloam. Don't have a smartphone? It's ok I don't either. Above each code they have written out the web address it would take you to. You can type the address in to your browser and be taken to the very same page and materials. It is awesome.

What is V.I.P. that iShine is trying to tell today's tweens?

They want them to know they have

Value

They want them to know that their

Identity
is found in Christ

and that they have a

Purpose
in this life.

In the front of each Bible there is the iShine index which is wonderful and one of my daughter's favorite sections. They have taken topics that our tweens face today like "What if I'm not good at anything?", "I'm young. What can I do for God?", and even "I want to go to a sleepover at my friend's house even though I know his or her parents won't be home." and take these topics, Biblically offer the verse that coincides, and offer a short little message to help correctly answer those questions.

It is perfect backpack size and conveniently in a "manly" Blueish grey color and feminine "Lip Sync Pink/Ruby Red" color.

The ministry that Robert Beeson has started is amazing. The Bible that ministry has become involved with is just as amazing. It's the complete Word of God with spots that hit directly at today's youth. They are teaching and ministering to them that they do matter, God is real, and it is way cool to scream his name from the rooftops! Even my 3 year old loves all things iShine.

This Bible will most certainly talk to your child's heart on their level. On a level that will grab their attention but also will be one that they will be able to understand. If you haven't ever heard of iShine I highly highly recommend checking them out. They also air on TBN every Saturday morning!
