'Beautifully illustrated, it makes reading the Bible so much fun, with thoughtful comments and super-useful guides such as maps, factual pictures and historical background.' -- Parent reader review

This action-packed Bible invites children to join Bear Grylls on a journey into Scripture. Follow the brave men and women of the Bible as they venture through dry desert lands, brave persecution and cross seas to discover and share the life-changing message of God.

Extra features help children engage with the epic stories found within the Bible text and encourage them towards a lifetime of exploring the world with God. A 'Terrain Guide' sets the scene for each book. 'Landmarks' and 'Signposts' help readers understand historical context and how to find the trail leading to Jesus. 'Tricky Ground' deciphers difficult passages that children may question, and 'Camp Fire Facts' lighten the load along the way. Bear Grylls is a constant source of encouragement, pointing out the favourite verses that have fuelled his soul and body on many an adventure.

16 pages of full colour inserts are interspersed throughout the Bible to encourage children to pause, take stock and reflect on how characteristics like courage, resilience, honesty and hope can help them make the best of any situation life throws at them.
