Harpercollins Rainbow Good News Bible Hardcover

2016 BIBLE OF THE YEAR - CRT Awards 2016

A bright, lively new edition of the UK's bestselling Bible, perfect for helping children to enjoy and engage with the Bible.

The perfect choice for a child's first full-text Bible, the Rainbow Good News Bible is recommended both by primary school teachers for use in class, as well as in church Sunday schools. Along with the classic, much-loved line drawings by Annie Vallotton - including many previously unseen original drawings - the Rainbow GNB retains the 24 beautiful full-colour paintings of children's favourite Bible stories.

Brand new short introductions to each book have been written especially for children by Nick Page, bestselling author of ""The Bible Book"", who has included a brief synopsis of each book's theme (e.g. for Genesis, ""It's all about...BEGINNINGS"").

Also provided is a unique range of NEW features to help young children get the most out of the Bible and to find their way around:

20 must-read passages * The life of Jesus * A guide to the Christian year * How did we get the Bible? * Timeline of the Bible * Clear headers and footers & side-bar navigation

The Rainbow Good News Bible will help to instil a love of Bible reading in children, with a translation that is both accessible and trustworthy.

The Good News Bible was the world's first truly ""easy-to-read"" Bible translation. In its first edition published under the title Good News for Modern Man it was a bestseller, and today is still the UK's most popular Bible translation.

The GNB aims to give today's readers maximum understanding of the content of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. It does not follow the traditional vocabulary and style found in historic English Bible versions; instead, it attempts to present the biblical content and message in standard, everyday, natural English - and it's regularly updated to make sure it reflects contemporary English usage. Published by Collins in partnership with the Bible Society.
