This review is from: nt:sport (New Living Translation) (Paperback)

Ever tried to get a friend, family member such as a teenage son or daughter interested in reading the Bible? The NT:SPORT offers parents, grandparents and other people involved in the lives of youth a very readable version of the New Testament, with glossy pages, sports oriented themes, sidebars on nearly every page related to athletes, short quizzes and articles on sports, all surrounded by the texts of the New Testament. Call it contemporary marketing of the Bible if you like, but once people begin to develop the habit of reading the New Testament, their lives change for the better, being deepened in love for God, hope for the future, and love for neighbor. This is truly what our youth culture needs in this time.
