Meet the Women of God’s Story
Grand Rapids, MI, Feb. 2024 – Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, is proud to announce the release of the Kingdom Girls Bible in the bestselling New International Version (NIV) translation.
“The NIV Kingdom Girls Bible provides the antidote to the negativity girls are exposed to daily,” said Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Zondervan. “The lessons learned from the fierce and fearless women of the Bible will be invaluable as our young people face the challenges of the times and those to come.”

“What a privilege it has been to write the notes for this girls’ Bible. My heart and soul are in every word,” said Jean Syswerda, author/editor of the Kingdom Girls Bible. “It was a genuine labor of love! I prayed as I wrote and now continue to pray it will impact girls as they read and interact with God’s Word.”
Using the accurate, readable, and clear NIV text makes the Bible accessible and easy-to-read for kids. The NIV is the result of over 50 years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, who oversee the efforts of many contributing scholars. Representing the spectrum of evangelicalism, the translators come from a wide range of denominations and various countries and continually review new research to ensure the NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance, and authority.
