More than 9 million copies sold of #1 Bibles for kids
Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 29, 2018 — With over 9 million copies sold, the Adventure Bible brand is beloved by Christian schools, churches, and families alike. Now the #1 Bible for kids is available in an all-new, exciting, polar exploration theme!
While on this arctic adventure, readers meet all types of people, see all sorts of places, and learn all kinds of facts about the Bible. And, most importantly, children will grow closer in their relationship with God.
“The NIV Adventure Bible is not only the number one selling Bible for kids—it is also the number one selling Bible over all other Bibles, both for adults and children,” says Kevin Traub, senior marketing director, Zondervan. “We take that responsibility very seriously. Christian school teachers, parents, and children count on this Bible and its trusted essentials to provide clear, accurate, and fun access to the Bible text for children.”
“While the current jungle adventure theme has obviously resonated with children, we felt there could be other adventures waiting for children to explore, and so the polar exploration theme was born,” says Sara Bierling, acquisition editor, Zondervan. “Polar themes are intriguing to children because so few of them will actually be able to explore the North or South Poles. We contracted with the same artist who created the original Adventure Bible art to give the NIV Adventure Bible a polar makeover, and we are so pleased with the results. Of course, the original jungle-themed NIV Adventure Bible is still available for those who love its classic look.”
Thrilling new art accompanies the same trusted content to enhance children’s journey through the Bible. The content falls on the same pages as the original NIV Adventure Bible, so children can use their Polar Exploration Edition in the classroom and still be able to follow along with the rest of the class.
