5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just For Kids!, March 17, 2006

By

This review is from: The Youth Bible (Hardcover)

I have purchased at least 5 of these bibles for my family and a friend's family. This book is so easy to read and understand. It is just as wonderful for adults as it is for teens. I love the maps at the beginning of each book of the bible, as well as the timeline of when the stories in that book took place. There are neat short stories of present day situations at the end of each chapter that help anyone understand how the lessons in that chapter apply to today's problems and situations. I can't say enough about this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-Relevant Preteen to Adult Devotional/Borderline Study Bible, April 6, 2006

By 

Encompassed Runner (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Youth Bible (Hardcover)

'The Youth Bible' is inviting in its readability and relevancy to daily living. This New Century Version (NCV) is a dynamic or functional equivalence translation that is easier to read than the NIV and despite some compromise in accuracy, it's not to the degree of others' and is appropriate to the format of being a devotional, rather than study Bible. That said, there are some key features to enhance studying, such as (1) concise book intros that include the book's purpose, historical context, map and timeline, and (2) dual purpose dictionary/topical index at the back. There are not, however, the potential distractions of copious verse-by-verse notes or cross-references, though there are some "For More, See..." verse citations in each of the devotional boxes. These devotional boxes are the notable feature of this Bible, and while targeted to teens, are suitable for adults interested in God's wisdom regarding life issues (for ex, Decision Making, Fear, Money, Rumors, Justice, Government, Popularity, Priorities, Non-Christians, Illness, Sexuality, Suffering, etc.).
