Books to my girls are always a special gift. They all love to read and be read to. There Easter baskets had new books, and their grandparents gave them new books for Easter, too. Everyone is going to have their noses stuck in a book over the next few weeks.

Last week, I was able to have some really special time with books with my two younger daughters. Tommy Nelson sent me an amazing package that I was able to share with my girls.

The first gift went to my little one.

Her first Bible that isn’t full of pictures. The beautiful Velveteen Bible really is a treasure to this little girl. When we sit down to do our family devotions now, she has a big girl Bible, too. Even though she still can’t read, she is excited to join us during this special time with her new Bible.

This hardcover Bible came in a beautiful case that is frocked with fur on the Bunny. When you open the case the Bible fits nicely inside with the same touch and feel bunny. This Bible is the complete New King James Version of text. We typically do our Bible reading as a family in NIV Bibles, but do turn to other translations and versions when we want to look closer at certain scriptures.

This Bible would make a wonderful Baptism gift.

Here is more description of this Bible from Tommy Nelson:

A sweet addition to the Tommy Nelson Baby/Toddler Bible line, using an adorable image of a flocked velvet bunny.

Inspired by Baby’s First Bible with the adorable fuzzy duck cover, this new offering for little ones, The Velveteen Bible features soft fur and a fuzzy tail!  Inside, the New King James Version scripture is accompanied by whimsical images of bunnies and other baby animals, colorful borders, and lovely sentiments from the scriptures.  The Bible is packaged in a keepsake treasure box.

The second gift was given to my middle daughter. It was the Sequin Bible. The shiny cover and bling was instantly appealing to this little girl. During our Bible reading time, she uses either The Adventure Bible or her Hands On Bible, so she is excited to have a Bible that she feels is a little more grown up for her. It is still written in the International Children’s Bible translation so it will be easier for her to understand.

She is excited to take this Bible with her to Bible Camp this summer.

Here is a little more about this Bible from Tommy Nelson:

A fun sparkly and shiny Bible for little girls embellished with sequins…Cute to carry and easy to read!

A full sized Bible in the International Children’s Bible^® translation, the Bible kids can read and understand! This adorable Bible is bound in floral fabric and embellished with shiny sparkly sequins! The cover will invite other little girls to ask “what kind of Bible is that?” and the owner can show her sparkly shiny Bible, thus sharing the “light” of Jesus. Inside, the Bible will have four sweet full color presentation pages in the front, a dictionary/concordance in the back, and the full texts of the Old and New Testaments.

Now your little girl can enjoy having a fun sparkly Bible to take to church and Sunday School.

I don’t think there is a more treasured gift than a new Bible. We are looking forward to diving in and studying God’s word together.

Do your children have a favorite Bible that they treasure?
