GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Zonderkidz(TM), the children's division of Zondervan, is releasing its bestselling Adventure Bible, NIV in two new, trendy Italian Duo- Tone(TM) designs, slated for release in October 2008. The Adventure Bible is the #1 selling children's Bible that debuted in 1985.

The Gray/Blue and Pink/Green Italian Duo-Tone(TM) covers are designed to appeal to both boys and girls, and both covers include cutting edge design with a clip closure for safe traveling and durability.

Our goal is to inspire young people to grow in their faith and live it out," said Annette Bourland, Vice President and Publisher for Zonderkidz.
