The Fire Bible for Kids

Getting Kids Spiritually Excited

In order to help kids survive in this world, the Assemblies of God wanted to produce a version of their popular Fire Bible in a format for children.

Client Background

In 2010, while the Fire Bible for Kids was in production, Alton Garrison, President of the Assemblies of God Bible Alliance, wrote to his constituents: “In Acts 2:38-39 (NIV), the Holy Spirit is promised to our kids: “You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and all who are far off.” With the Fire Bible for Kids, we are helping the children of the world today — and for generations to come — know that the Holy Spirit is for them and the promise is for them. We are Preserving the Promise! … The Fire Bible for Kids is currently in production, but I have been given some sample copies of a few pages. I was so excited when I got these that I had to share them with you.”

Design Solution

INTERIOR: Design Corps provided multiple concepts for cover and interior, focusing on conveying the radiance and energy of fire without all of its accompanying characteristics of pain and destruction. The interior utilized illustrations for each book of the bible with titles for the books as well as art for special sections in the same style. Orange and black inks were used to convey the same warmth and glow of fire.

COVER: For the cover we used a similar cartoon stylization and warm glow to convey energy for kids, but now utilizing full color. We also added some more dimension to the type face to give the title more the feel of an emblem. The result is an eye-catching, kid-friendly cover.
