When I was in the third or fourth grade, I desperately wanted The Adventure Bible. My parents gave it to me for Christmas that year (I mean, were they really going to deny my wish for a Bible???), and I loved it and used it for years.
I didn't know if The Adventure Bible still existed until I got a review request for the Polar Exploration Edition. I'm so glad this Bible is available!

We all know that I'm not exactly the target demographic for this Bible, so I had my 8-year-old cousin use it during church a few weeks ago. She loved it!
This Bible is eye-catching, and it beckons children to engage with God's Word. Colorful sections like "Live It!" and "Did You Know?" are interspersed throughout the text, and there are also some full-color sections made out of thicker paper that are basically engaging reference pages. I'm a map lover, and I remember pouring over the maps in my circa 1990 Bible. The maps in this Polar Exploration Edition are probably very similar to the maps I used in the 90's, but there's also a map index here that points out notable locations and gives a bit of context as to why they're important.
I have had so much fun going through this Bible! My only regret is that I don't have three copies so I could give one to each of my three cousin-nieces. (They're my first cousins once removed or something like that, but really they're the nieces I don't have.) But I do have a copy to give away to one of you! It's a short giveaway, as the sponsor needs the winner's name ASAP in order to have the Bible delivered before Christmas, so be sure to enter right away!
