New Bible translation invites children on journey

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — In the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, the book of Psalms begins with the word "happy", and it is used 26 times in the rest of the book. The word is only used 20 times in the rest of the Old Testament. Children will learn fun facts like this in the Children's Bible, a new edition of the NRSV Bible created especially for them. Published by Abingdon Press, this new study Bible "presents the message of Jesus in vivid and compelling ways," says Neil Alexander, president and publisher of the United Methodist Publishing House. "The Bible has illustrations to draw children in and includes notes throughout the text that help them experience God and discover how God wants them to live." Abingdon is an imprint of the Publishing House. Details are available at www.cokesbury.com.
