Amy Welborn's latest addition to the Prove It! Series is a great resource for teens. As an accompaniment to the complete New American Bible, this paperback edition includes a series of Prove It! inserts that make this a great Bible for teens and young adults. The book's introduction is addressed at the questions of why and how to read the Bible. Additional topics covered throughout the main sections of the Bible include answers to basic (and not so basic) questions about God, Jesus, the Church, prayer and more. A special concluding section entitled "the map" is an excellent compilation of important data and prayers that should form the basis of catechesis for any young Catholic. Along with all of our traditional prayers, the Stations of the Cross, the Mysteries of the Rosary and much more are included.
This light weight and compact Bible will be a great resource for your Catholic preteen, teen or young adult for years to come.

What drew me to this particular bible, out of the rest of the Catholic teen bibles were the inserts by Amy Wellborn. I have, through other publications become familier with her as an author and commentator and really enjoy her insights and straight forward approach to her topics. As a catechist for the RCIA for teens this year, I was really looking for a Bible the teens in my group could really connect with and not see it at as another "classroom textbook". I ordered one for myself first at the beginning of the week and received it rather quickly (by the end of the week). When I received it I read through the introduction, checked the fine print, it has the Nihil Obstat & Imprimatur. I read all the inserts sprinkled through the OT and NT on God, Jesus, Prayer, the Church, You..et al,and finally in the back the "roadmap". I thought it was a very good bible, but I wanted to put it to the ultimate test....in the hands of a teen. It passed. This teen was so impressed, he wanted a copy and was sharing with it with other teens in our teen group and before long our DRE had a list of all the teens who wanted one. One of the main things our teens emphasized is that this Bible is not only easy to use, they especially liked the "prove it" inserts because it used language they understood without being completely dumbed down or full of fluff to soften theological truths....one of them even said it answered an important question he had been struggling with.
Regarding the version of the bible; as an instructor, I wanted it to be the NAB version, being that is what the Church uses (in the US)in the Mass scripture readings. The main reason for this though, is during "breaking open the word", during class & bible study, I found using the same version less confusing than other versions.

i bought a collection of these bibles for the bookshelf in my youth room...and, my teens are REALLY enjoying these bibles...they find them interesting and informative and i have had MANY of them ask where they can get one for themselves...as a youth minister, i am always concerned with making sure my teenagers are getting the best bibles to fit their needs...and, i think i have finally found a winner!
