@Peaceandprosperity grade question!

when I was younger I had a children's Bible, a youth Bible, but the best for me was a Study Bible. It had some intos with background on each book, maps in the back, etc. It was with a translation that has since been updated in ways I don't align with given my background in Bible education, translation, and textual criticism.

Now I use a wide margin Bible when I can now the date as we lead our family, year after year, reading through the Bible out loud every year, and can jot down some notes. It's ESV, which is a good translation and what is read from at our church so it's easy to read together.

(I also use the Greek New Testament to cross reference and double check things, but that's probably not what you're needing right now 😉)

What translation does your kiddo read in the app? What do they use at church? Go with that translation.

(Don't do a paraphrase like The Message, getting that through an app if needed is enough.)
