.com Review From its attention-grabbing cover to the 40 eye-catching full-page portraits of Bible characters, The Super Heroes Bible (NIrV) is packed with enough visual stimuli for elementary-age kids to engage the interest of even a hardcore video game or comic book aficionado. Interspersed throughout the text are boxed stories of the good guys--and bad guys--and ideas for personal application of the lesson learned. There are strong women figures as well (such as the prophet Deborah), making this version appealing to girls as well as boys. More than 400 "Power Surge" sections, highlighted in yellow, spotlight Scripture verses with superhero virtues that kids can adopt for their own. The NIrV is an easy-to-read version of the New International Version written at the third grade level. This version is printed in purple type, which might look a little wild to an adult, but is probably offbeat enough to appeal to its intended age group. Kids who say they find the Bible boring might well give it a second look when it's packaged in this exciting format. --Cindy Crosby Read more From the Back Cover You're a Super Hero!
