Comic books. Movies. Video games. You think super heroes are only found there? Think again. The NIrV Super Heroes Bible is packed with ordinary people zapped by God into super hero status. This full-text Bible, in the New International Readers Version (NIrV--The NIV for kids!), is written at a third-grade reading level. More than 200 character sketches tell the stories of Bible men, women, and kids--from Genesis to Revelation--and will help kids ages 6 to 10 learn what it takes to be a hero of faith. (Some bad guys are in there, too!) Cool codes will clue readers in to what traits of a hero each character has. For example, the sketch on Moses lists the codes for "Obeys," "Strong," and "Wise." Kids can crack the codes with the handy bookmark below. Other exciting features in the NIrV Super Heroes Bible: 40 FULL-COLOR PAGES: action-packed illustrations by Dennis Jones.
