I think that there is a place for this book. I would not part with the original version of this book.
Because this has been “rewritten” to be modern and for me rather simplified, I would utilize this for my kids. For example I would read the original version and have them do their own devotional using this book and come back together. That way we can marry the two together for a very rich family time. I think there is a lot lost in the modern version but the NIV verses and some modern language changes are perfect for kids.

I’d have received an ARC in order to review this book. All opinions are my own.
