Other Info
XTB (eXplore The Bible) is a series of daily Bible reading notes for children of the 7-11 age group, with puzzles, pictures and prayers.
XTB is beautifully presented with full-colour illustrations and is a series of 12 books which, if used on a quarterly basis, will help a child cover all of the main books, themes and characters of the Bible in 3 years.
Look out for Table Talk - a book of daily Bible times for families with children aged from 4 upwards. The Bible passages are the same each day for XTB and Table Talk - so you can use the two books together, or on their own. Whichever suits you best.

Very good for a seven year old
Review by Catherine Buchan | 03.12.2009
My son loves this series. Thye spark his questions and inform him as well. It is amazing how often we read the scripture and the questio he asks is the very one that the booklet is about to answer for him! I recommend these books to other parents of 6-9 year-old children.
Another great installment in the series
Review by Billy-Jane Gregory | 21.11.2008
I am currently working my way through this book with my nearly 10yr old son. We have already completed books 1-4 and the Easter/Summer specials.
He likes the colour format, the puzzles and being able to draw his answers.
He is learning bits from the Bible as we go which is brilliant.
I have tried him on the Discover starter book but he finds this too "boring" as it is black and white. So we will be sticking to the XTB series for the forseeable future. I just hope we can finish the series before they get too "baby" for him.
I buy each book as and when we need them and not a subscription.
A fun way for junior school aged children to start reading the Bible.

My daughter is enjoying the fun activities. Ideal way for children to start reading the Bible more regularly in a non-threatening way.
