5.0 out of 5 stars The best teen Bible, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Teen Study Bible: New International Version (Hardcover)

I had a different teen Bible before this one, also NIV, but this one is better in every way. It not only presents God's word in an easy-to-read format, it also talks about issues important to today's teenager, such as stress, dating, and school. I have recommended this Bible to everyone in my youth group, and everyone who bought one has raved about it as much as I have. I recommend this Bible to any and every Christian teenager who wants to thoroughly understand God's word, or anyone who is buying a Bible for a teenager.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an Awesome Bible!, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Teen Study Bible, Revised (Paperback)

The Teen Study Bible is a great bible for teens to use. You can go to it and turn to the index and it has many topics to questions you may have. Like, if you wanted to know more about dating and what the Bible says about it you'd go to Dating and look at the page numbers that dating is mentioned on. Also, I was having trouble understanding the Bible, but this edition is really easy to understand. As you read the books and chapters in them, there is a checklist in the back that you can check off what you've read. So if your goal is to read the whole Bible, youll know how much youve read. It really makes you understand how things really havent changed that much since the Bible was actually written. That the Bible completely applies to today.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book for those who are interested in God's word!, July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Teen Study Bible: New International Version (Hardcover)

This is an incerdible for book for teens. Being a teen as I am, this book has helped answer many questions about faith, God and Christian life. Not only does it have the bible written in an easy-to-understand format, but it also has a useful index- that lists problems in our society today and what the bible says about them- along with many other things. I highly reccomend it.
