The Bible should be read aloud to children before they can read it for themselves. (Please see Our Necessary Food and Bible Curriculum for more about this.) The regular family Bible is best for this. Please don’t worry whether they understand everything. I don’t understand everything in the Bible and I have been reading it for over 50 years. Listen to the Holy Spirit regarding editing as you read. My personal opinion is to not edit out much, as everything in the Scriptures has been included by the Holy Spirit for a reason, and far be it from us to second- guess Him. But He is a reliable Guide as you read. Trust yourself, and trust Him. ♥
The Bible in Pictures, The Child’s Story Bible, Egermeier’s, and The Golden Children’s Bible are excellent read- aloud Bibles for children. The Bible in Pictures is illustrated with quality artwork on every page. The Beginner’s Bible is a well-done edition that beginning readers can read independently. Finally, A is for Adam, D is for Dinosaur, N is for Noah, and The Gospel for Children are highly recommended presentations of the Gospel for children.
