10 Favorite Bibles for Children {What We're Reading Wednesday}

Can you believe June is already halfway over?!  Where does the time go?  We just finished our Bible study that we started for our second semester, so we wanted something a little lighter for the summer.  Little Man has taken quite an interest in some deeper theology, which thrills me to no end.  I'm looking around right now to figure out what we'll do for our fall semester, but in the meantime, I thought I'd share the Bibles we've used so far!

Mommy & Her Men's 10 favorite Bibles for children!  Perfect for babies, toddlers, and elementary kids!



This is the one Baby Boy and I are currently reading.  It's a board book, so it's great for letting him "read" while Little Man and I dig a little deeper into his study.  Baby Boy and I read one or two of the stories each day during breakfast.  



This one is just beautiful.  Several women in our Bible study group have commented that they have learned more while reading this to their children than they could have expected.  Seeing things from a child's eyes is definitely enlightening!


Baby Boy was given this Bible when he was born.  The stories are a little longer, so it's the next one we will go through daily during our Breakfast with the Bible.


This is Little Man's current Bible.  He received it in his Easter basket and to say that he was thrilled is an understatement.  I don't think he put it down for two weeks!  The photos of the Lego scenes are amazing and they really helped the stories stick in his mind!


We actually read this one in two separate books.  The Old Testament and the New Testament.  This one was great for just reading for fun and taking in the stories instead of in-depth study.


This was Little Man's first full Bible after the storybook Bibles.  I liked that it was a full NIV and his memory verses matched mine.  


Little Man and I are going through this one right now as our evening devotional.  I think I'm enjoying it just as much as he is!  The stories connect everything back to Jesus and I think it's 
changing the way that he prays each night.


We love all things Berenstain Bears!  After reading all the picture books, this makes a great Bible to connect our day-to-day lives to Scripture.


Our church uses this Bible in our children's programs.  There are actually two versions and you can get it in NIV or NIrV.


Little Man has been drawn to this one as well.  It's written just like a graphic novel, which he loves.  I love that it encourages him to just love spending time in the Word.

10 Books For Mom to Read This Summer {What We're Reading Wednesday}

This post may contain affiliate links.  

Yesterday was our last official day of school.  It's summer time at our house!  Of course, today is a chilly 63 degrees outside.  Little Man and I decided that it's perfect weather for sweats and curling up with a book under a blanket.  Nothing says "first day of summer vacation" like sweats and blankets, right???  I know that I usually post a list of picture books for What We're Reading Wednesday, but today I want to share a list of books that Mommy can't wait to read this summer!

10 books that are perfect for Mommy to read this summer from Mommy & Her Men!



I saw this one at Target and was intrigued.  Love reading about famous authors!


I love everything about her blog!  I've been a part of Good Morning Girls for quite some time and it's still my favorite way to study the Bible!  I'm looking forward to reading a full book!


I'm at a point that I want to be wrecked by Jesus.  I'm seeing Him slowly pull me out of my comfort zone and take me into uncharted territory!


Couldn't we all use a lesson in making wise choices?  We've been dealing with some tough situations lately and I know I haven't handled them as well as I should have.


Good Morning Girls went through Job several months ago.  It was a hard one for me.  My father recommended this book to me, and I can't wait to take that study even deeper!


This book was written by a fellow blogger!  I've never done a fast and I'm so excited to see how God works through this experience!


This book has been on my shelf for years.  Not my Goodreads shelf or the library shelf, but my actual bookshelf... next to my bed.  It's a fluffy, cozy mystery, but it's a series I've wanted to read for a long time.  I think it's time to dust it off and try it!


Yet another one that has been on my shelf... I actually started this one, but I was in a reading rut and never made it very far.  This might actually be one of the first ones I read this summer.


I've been in a memoir mood lately.


My friend LJ recommended this one.  I've also been drawn to historical fiction lately and this one was at the top of her list.  I'm thinking we might need a movie night when I finish!

What are you reading this summer?
