Choosing a Bible for your child often comes down to two main contenders: the International Children's Bible (ICB) and the New International Version (NIV).
What is the ICB Bible? A Parent's Guide to the International Children's Bible If you are shopping for a Bible for a child aged 6 to 12, you will frequently see the acronym ICB. But what exactly is it? Is it a paraphrase? A storybook? Or a watered-down version of an adult text?
When you open an International Children’s Bible (ICB), you notice something immediately: the sentences are short, the vocabulary is simple, and the "churchy" language is gone. It reads like a book a 7-year-old would actually pick up. But did you know that this beloved children's translation didn’t actually start as a Bible for children at all? The history of the ICB is a fascinating journey that began with a mission to help the deaf community and evolved into one of the most trusted Bible translations for kids in the world. Here is the story behind the ICB.
