My eldest daughter is now in the "tween" age years. She seemed to be outgrowing her NIV New Adventure Bible because she wasn't showing any interest in reading it on her own anymore. For her birthday, I decided to to get her a teen bible and had spent many hours at the local bookstore pouring over the different offerings out there; the NIV teen study bible, the NKJV Extreme Teen bible and others.What I found suprising was the "meaty content" of this compared to the others, which is the usual characteristic of a study bible, moreso than a devotional bible. It also presented the information in open-minded way, versus a dumbed-down manner. This is important, because getting young adults in this age group to walk with Christ means delivering the word of our Lord in an accessible, approachable manner, inviting cognitive thought and reasoning which leads to prayer. I want for my own Christian resource a book that offers great explanations and solutions for this crazy, wonderful world; why not then seek the same resource for our young adults?Although the KJV is incomparable for its poetry, the NIV offers a great, even handed delivery of the Word and the glory of Jesus' work on earth seems more approachable in the NT. I have bibles of several translations:KJV, NLT, NKJV, NASB and NRSV. The NIV is the one I can get lost in for hours and find inspiring for prayer.So what has this Teen Bible changed? My kid is reading it on her own free will. She relates to it, she asks questions about it and we share from both my resources and hers. In combining a walk of faith and works, that which feeds a life of being Christians based on inspiration versus fear, this bible fits the bill. What more can a mom ask? I thank God for delivering it to us. Halleluia.
this bible is really great because of the little boxes that explain hard to understand things in the text, and also because it's NIV (new international version) so its in plain simple to understand english. if you go to a chistian school and need a good bible for class you should get this it explains everything so well only jesus himself could have said it better
This Bible has the original NIV version of the bible, but it also includes daily devotions for all teenagers that you can really relate to and help you learn more about yourself and make your walk with God stronger. It also has in it questions that any usual teen or any christian or non-christian would ask that are hard to find answers for. I think its an awesome book. I find it a very interesting guiding tool and I think it will help me with my personal walk with God. BUY THIS!
This bible is much better than the older King James version. It is written in simpler text, and includes devotional tips, discussion ideas, and asks questions that help you chart your spiritual growth. It is the best book I've ever read, honestly. I strongly reccomend this book for teens because it really helps you understand God's word.
In short, this bible is GREAT!If you want teens to read the bible, you must give them one which is:1. Accurate in translation2. Easy to read3. Broken down into bite-sized portions4. Organized in a creative and attractive mannerThe Teen Devotional Bible hits the mark on all four. I have worked with teenagers for over twenty years as a public school teacher, and I also have a seminary degree. Trust me, you will be very glad you turned your teen on to this bible. It has now made my list of 'must have' books to leave with teenagers if you could only choose 5:1. The Teen Devotional Bible (Barnhill)2. What the Bible is All About for Young Explorers (Mears)3. The Purpose Filled Life (Warren)4. Dragons, Grasshoppers & Frogs--Revelation for teens (Parks)5. If God Loves Me Why Can't I Get My Locker Open? (Peterson)I cannot add much to the compliments others have already paid. Kudos to Carla Barnhill for this contribution to the teaching of God's Word to young people!
This is an excellent devotional Bible. The first reviewer who doesn't like the Bible because it condemns witchcraft is completely ignorant of New Testament Greek, and seems to dislike anything that cramps their lifestyle or beliefs. The NIV is an excellent translation based on the oldest and best manuscripts and translated by people who actually know Greek, and don't use alternate definitions that don't reflect the true text in order to make things that are condemned by the Bible seem accaptable. If you want your kids to learn what the Bible says, and not what a Wiccan wants it to say, this is a great devotional Bible.
When my kids asked to buy their own bible five years ago I was so excited. We got right in the car and went to the Christian bookstore. My kids looked at several student and teen bibles, and this is the one they chose. It is an awesome blend of devotions, teen stories, neat information, and the Bible in contemporary english. They were immediately attracted to the bold colors and the layout. We purchased two.Through the years we have had an opportunity to buy or suggest this bible to other teens, too. Cousins, friends, and youth at the church. I think I have personally purchased about 6 of them. Buy one for your teen! You won't be disappointed!
