Holman KJV Bible Review & Giveaway – Winner Gets to Choose!

We just completed a review of the King James Version of the Bible from Holman, America’s oldest Bible publisher. Did you know the KJV is one of the most trusted Bible translations? The KJV was not only the first Bible to be printed, it is also the best-selling Bible version of all time.

For over 400 years, the King James Version of the Bible has been the favorite translation for millions of believers, capturing the majesty of God’s Word and shaping the worship of generations. The scholars translating the KJV Bible were among the top scholars of their day, and most were deeply familiar with literature and poetry as well as with theology and ancient languages. They were also intent on creating a translation that would last for generations, so they avoided recent changes to the language, often using words and phrases that sounded formal even then to ensure the dignity and longevity of the translation.

The King James Bible took seven years to complete and is described as the most important and influential printed book in the English language, reigning supreme over other translations. Since 1611, Christians have turned to the KJV Bible for a faithful and beautiful rendering of God’s Word. Its rich tradition has guided generations of pastors, authors, and scholars, while its reverent and God-honoring language continues to shape our words today. Knowledge of the Bible and its influence is a deeply important part of a good education.

If your family follows a literature-based, great books, or classical method of homeschooling, the KJV Bible is a great addition to your studies while providing a strong biblical foundation. The King James translation of the Bible has long been known for its poetic beauty and structure. While its language may sound archaic today, a familiarity with this version of the Bible prepares students for reading Shakespeare. (The King James Bible was published in the same year that William Shakespeare began work on The Tempest.)

3. Holman KJV One Big Story Bible ($29.99 value)

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. ~Proverbs 22:6 KJV

This hardcover children’s Bible contains the full text of the KJV! It also features 146 full-color Gospel Project illustrations throughout to help make the KJV Bible more accessible to kids. Scan the QR code and Bible scenes come to life through Digital Pop-Up technology, along with a short audio of the story. Even without the app, the vibrantly colored pictures in this Bible seem to pop off the pages and yet the colors don’t bleed through to the other side. In addition to the colorful visuals, kids will be attracted to the special features this five-star Bible has included just for them.

• Every book of the Bible has an introduction written specifically with kids in mind.
• The Big Picture feature digs into key Bible stories and provide parents with discussion material.

The Holman KJV One Big Story Bible is a great introduction to the King James Version for kids. Especially if they have a literary bent, it will train their brains for reading the classics like Shakespeare’s plays. The book is slightly heavy at 2.5 pounds and the thin paper makes it a bit tricky for children’s stubby little fingers to turn the pages, but we’d recommend it for ages 8-12 (grades 3-8) and it’s perfect for family devotions.
