The Faithgirlz! Bible

by Zonderkidz with Jeff Jones, Michael Klassen, Zondra Newsome, Marjean Rue and Anne Wolf



      If your daughters, age eight through twelve, struggle with understanding and applying scripture to their daily lives, Zonderkidz has just the book for you. It's called The Faithgirlz! Bible. Using today's New International version of the Bible, it is divided into individual books of the Bible, presented in clear, easy to understand language, and includes a uniquely practical application specifically designed for girls ages eight through twelve.

After each chapter, it includes a short section called Dream Girl. After Genesis chapter one, Dream Girl explains: "Close your eyes and dream with God to a time when there is only nothingness and darkness so black it feels thick. There are no clouds, not even the soft whoosh of your own breath. You stretch out your fingers, but there is nothing to touch..." It continues, "Someone is there all around you, and His voice speaks out of the darkness, and you're drenched in light. Now you can see something dark and swirling. You can hear it rushing as the Voice calls out words, and water appears, cool and soft...." "You float in its air until the words come again, and there is land for you to rest on, land alive with trees for climbing and vines for swinging, and juicy fruit for eating..."

So goes the easily imaginable explanation of the creation story, a perfect gift for the Christian pre-teen girl in your life.
