So what this is:
Complete text of the NIrV...Genesis to Revelation
24 color tip-in pages featuring full color illustrations in the style of the wildly popular virtual world building game.
Featured stories such as Creation and great builds of the Bible
So, my thoughts...as you know...My boy LOVES IT!!! We have some different standards to measure by though!
So, the text is NIrV, which I have said before is not at all my favorite. I would prefer a standard NIV to this...2 pages at the very front of this Bible explain why NIrV...I have read this several times...and I get what they are saying...Not a fan though. I will leave that there and let you decide for yourself on that.
Also, the text is just essentially a standard Bible...No commentary, no intros to the books of the Bible...Just the plain text. The words of Christ are NOT in red...just in case you are wondering.
What makes this Bible unique are the 24 color pages. These pages are full color in the style of that particular game (this Bible is not endorsed, sponsored, authorized or in any way, shape or form affiliated with that particular game)...and many of the pages have a building theme. Some just have aspects you might find in that particular game...like planting, stones, or weapons. A few just show the picture in the style of that particular game. It is a little weird seeing Jesus in the shape of that guy...is his name Steve? I am really not in the know here...this the the BIG draw for fans of that particular game.
I think I am neutral towards this Bible...I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. It is an acceptable Bible. My boy LOVES this Bible. I think he just looks at the pictures though...and those, no matter how much fun they might be, are not inspired. So, there you have it!
