Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Extreme Teen Bible dares teens to crack open its pages and live up to the cutting-edge standard found inside. This New King James translation (thoroughly explained in teen-friendly language) is clad in funky purple print and snowboard-type logos, appealing to the thrill seeker by promising a life of "no fears, no regrets, just a future with a promise." Generous introductions, full-page profiles of faith-filled biblical characters, and a quick reference index covering subjects from abortion to worship guide the young reader into a more "extreme" relationship with God. "What's It Mean?" sidebars appear on almost every page, answering tough questions, pointing out God's promises, and directing teens into the will of God for their lives. By portraying Christ as the "truest revolutionary of all time," the Bible becomes a survival guide to the world that teens live in. The editors assert that "It's all here--truth, inspiration, bottom-line actual reality." The only questions left is, "Are you up for the challenge?" --Jill Heatherly --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Extreme Teen Bible (Paperback)

At first, I was not sure if I was Extreme enough to understand this Extreme Teen Bible. I questioned my Extremeness and wondered if Jesus would accept someone as un-Extreme as myself. However, after reading the Extreme Bible I can say that only through Jesus can true Extreme-ness be reached, and that through Jesus even the least Extreme can find the true light of Extremeness and truly excellent righteousness! Now, I kick it with God all the time Forget, Snoop Dogg; Jesus (or Master J as I call him, we tight) truly is the most Extreme of them all, amen!
Don't you wish you could be Extreme too?
Read the Extreme Teen Bible and kick it with Jesus!

JESUS CHRIST!
CAN I GET A "WHOOP WHOOP"?

This review is from: Extreme Teen Bible (Hardcover)

After hitting up the vert on my skateboard, downing a Go-Gurt while getting sick air, there's nothing better than to read my EXTREME™ Teen Bible. What could be more extreme than crucifixion and resurrection? Well, maybe listening to the Van Warped Tour CD while eating EXTREME™ Fruit Snacks, grinding mean slopes on my snowboard with guitar in hand playing insane solos using only my teeth, with my EXTREME™ Teen Bible while fighting against the system and being a true revolutionary like Jesus, but resurrection comes close in extremeness. If it was anymore EXTREME™, we'd call it the Koran. It was so EXTREME™, that my head exploded while reading it just from how much EXTREME™ was in the small package. I would definately buy this if you want the most hardcore, incredible, extreme EXTREME™ on the market today.

4.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, November 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Extreme Teen Bible (Hardcover)

I recently got this bible, it totally rocked. It has profiles sopradically placed throught on Bible characters who made a difference and how you can make a difference as well. It also shows various promises God has made and how they realte to teens and where other relevant verses can be found. It points out verses on questions, and it explains things(like the references to dogs)that you may have trouble with. This bible also has thought starters on how to help teens discover God's plans, full page(often 2) profiles of each book and how they break down, and 4 different reading plans for the bible(30 days with Jesus, 60 days with Paul, 90 overview, the bible in 365 days). This bible got me back in the word and I've read it more than ever. The translation makes it a bit tough for some people, but if you want more of a challenge than the NIV gives, this translation is for you.
