Review of The Velveteen Bible

I have mixed emotions about this sweet little Bible. If you are looking for a nice gift to present a new mom for their baby, something unique, then this might be a good choice for a keepsake gift. It comes in a gift box that exactly matches the front of the Bible, and it is also accented with velvet. The quality of the box is okay, but the spine of the box came unglued on the inside the first time I opened it... not a huge problem, just needs to be re-glued.

It is the New King James Version.... which is good and bad in my humble opinion. I think with the cover being so oriented towards a very young child, that it might have been an adapted Bible inside, but it's not. My 6 year old son does love this book, so perhaps not all is lost. There are some beautiful pieces of artwork in here too. If you could take them out, they might be worth framing. (Of course, this would destroy the book.)

So, don't expect this to be the "perfect" Bible for any child, but there is something here for multiple ages. I think it is most appropriate for a new baby gift, as it is decent quality and would make a very unique present. It would be cute displayed in a child's room too.
