Summary: Great Translation, Great Bible!
Review: I first was exposed to the Youth Bible in 1997-98 as part of a VBS class I was taking at the time. The Youth Bible - New Century Version (hereafter known as YB-NCV) was the translation of choice. At first, I was a bit lukewarm to YB-NCV, but after the chaplain I knew gave me a copy, I started to use the YB-NCV. Unlike other Teen Bibles, the YB-NCV educates our youth by giving short stories that have references to scripture and that are revolent to their lives. In doing this, the YB-NCV does not dumb down the message of scripture or pander to the lowest demographic. When it comes to the New Century translation, I find to be really good. The NCV uses gender-sensitive language, which is a Good Thing. It's a strong contender for #1 thought for thought English Bible (compared to the GNT and NLT). Overall, the YB-NCV is a good Bible for youth.

Summary: The Youth Bible : New Century Version/Black
Review: I highly recommend this bible. I work with youth and have found this version appeals to them very much as it is written in everyday english. Each page has a story that helps youth relate the scripture to their life.I have recommended this to all the youth in my classes and many are using it and have begun reading their bibles daily. Every youth ought to have the opportunity to read this bible!
