The Best Youth-Oriented Bible That I Have Found

My wife and I minister to the young male and female inmates at a local Youth Detention Center (YDC). These kids are in for everything from armed robbery to sex crimes. So, needless to say, a very different type of witnessing tool was necessary for this ministry. I had read and researched a lot of Bibles, and I finally settled on this one as my main witnessing tool. Here is why: While ministering to these kids, I have found that these youngsters truly ARE the visual generation, and NOTHING turns them off faster than trying to read (and DECIPHER) a standard 2-column or 4-column dull-looking, boring-looking, black-on-white print Bible. BUT, with this Bible, the colors and the pictures and the generally edgy feel of the book as a whole really catches their eyes and makes them WANT to dig in and start reading. Every Bible on this earth is of no value if you cannot get them to OPEN it and READ it! Having worked with these youth, I have found that most of them may be 15 - 16 years old, but they read at 11 - 12 year old level! For this reason, I always stress to the kids that, while this Bible is written to the younger mind, it does NOT talk DOWN to them in any way shape, or form! This, too, is critical in ministering to them, as they will reject anything that smacks of being too authoritarian to them. It is that very rebellion against any kind of authority that landed them in the YDC in the first place! Because of this book, we have not only had the young inmates come to Christ, but we have also had members of the YDC STAFF come to Christ as well! What a Blessing this has been! For all these reasons, I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Excellent Reference/Study Bible for Everyone

Although this Bible may have been written for the target group of 18-30 year olds, it serves well for older people too. The layout, details, and graphics truly enhance the reading experience for all.

A Nice Addition to A Christian Home

This is a lovely Bible. The colorful graphics, page layouts, and inserts are appealing to the younger age groups (adults too) and really draw the reader in. The language is clear, easy to read, and easy to follow especially if you are familiar with the traditional KJV. I took one look through it at my local Borders and just had to take it home with me. If you have children, this would make an especially nice gift Bible (I wish I had received one like this back then). I would also recommend this Bible to youth group leaders or youth Bible study groups. As a former youth group leader, this would have been my Bible of choice. The only thing I would recommend to the publisher, if a second edition comes out, is to include maps. I make constant reference to them when I read, and it would be a good way to start teaching youth the Biblical geography we hear so much about in the news today. Otherwise, I really like this Bible. Buy it and enjoy.

Learn God's Word!

I love this Bible for the fact that it has easy refrences. It is extreamly easy to follow. It gives detailed back grounds for some of the most well known characters in the Bible. It is great if you are trying to learn or preach the word.
