The New Living Translation (NLT) is near and dear to my heart because it gifted me with the chronological Bible arrangement I’ve used to read the Bible daily in a year for 11 years now. That’s a lot of Leviticus, and trust me when I tell you, it gets less boring every year.
This time, they’re releasing the Go Bible, “A Life-Changing Bible for Kids.” Self-proclaimed right there on the cover, and they’re not wrong. The NLT is rated at a sixth-grade reading level, so a really good introduction to scripture for children of all ages (but note I used it myself in my 40s).
Let’s look inside this full-color Bible:

Chapter numbers are red and verse numbers are blue, making them easy for children to find. It’s available in a variety of leather-like designs, softcover, or hardcover.
