Teen Devotional Bible

Summary: This bible is so good, I just keep buying it
Review: My teenage daughter got bored and frustrated with her King James study Bible; this Bible has been such a blessing to her because of it's readability and understandability. Let's face it...the KJV of the Bible is difficult and tedious even for the most scholarly person...what's important is that my daughter now immerses herself in the Word and reads it daily. I highly recommend this Bible as a gift to your favorite teeneager; It brings the Word alive and is geared especially toward teenagers.

Summary: When will Bibles ever be translated with accuracy
Review: Our world is so filled with miss and false information I am again shocked by the blatent false translations that show up for Christian readers. I was doing a research project on Witchcraft of which there is so much mis-information out there it is amazing. Amazon popped up a reference in this book to Gal 5:20 which inserts the word "Witchcraft", in a list of things that are bad.

If you take the time to look up in a Greek Interlinerary you'll find the greek word is "farmakeia", meaning in essence "neuter
"ass" or "donkey". Has nothing to do with witchcraft.

Just like good ol' King James - changing "suffer not a "poisoner" (aka assasin) to live, to "suffer not a witch to live" this one old testiment change was used to kill and torture people. (The Dark Ages people - Christianity spread by blood, fear and torture - both Catholics and Prodestant "inquisitors". A history that has yet to be owned by the religions of the world.

Translators and religions have "NO" authority to CHANGE the Holy Scriptures, and this kind of garbage is the root of racism, hatered, misunderstanding, and discrimination on our planet.

They've all done this and unless your reading from an interlinerary your "intepretation" is subject to false teachings and translations.

Teach your kids to understand world religions and their people, don't build in biases that cause fear, hatered and division.

This book gets a two thumbs down.

If your going to write to kids, at least have the courage to translate based on accuracy of "Gods Word", don't present propaganda embedded translations as "The Word of God".

We have enough war going on the planet to deal with. In America we are offended when foreign countries teach their children to "Hate" Americans, and Christians and Jews because they mis-translate their religious writings and teach it with auhtority to their children. Christians are and have been doing the same here in America and around the world. This kind of "command and control" manipulation and false teachings have to stop.

This translation as well as the bible you probably have read from all your live, does just that - embeds false teachings and doctrines to support religious views not "God's Word", it's blasphemy at it's ugliest and it has been such since the beginning. Do your own research, don't take my word for it, and quit being sheep, take responsibilty for "truth". Contextually a "sheep" can never become a Shepard. Your a "Child of God" - consider this context - your not to be a sheep, you are to "Grow up!". Next time someone wants to be your "Shepard" think about any sheep you know that can be promoted to that position...Don't be a sheep. It's time for that baloney and false teaching to also be recognized for what it is.

Don't bias your kids with false doctines, it just is not right. Take the time to get it right.

Most of you who may be reading this review may not see or understand this because you have been raised from birth with religious falsehoods and biases taught to you as "The Word of God", the cover of most Bibles say "King Jame's Version" or based there, read the cover, and you'll see who's it is. Besides, Jesus nor the Apostles were "Greek", dah, think about it.

Good stuff in the bible, Jesus's life amazing - he set a powerful example in his life - any scripture, doctrine, dogma or teaching that goes against his life example should be researched and viewed with a critical eye.

Learn the Divinity Filter from "The Church of What Works" to sort out Divine teachings from man made and inspired manipulations.

Teach your kids not to fear, teach them love, teach them their power as Christians - teach them to be healers - teach them Jesus' example. Do the same yourself :)

God bless you all, in Jesus' name or by whatever tradition you can relate too.

- David

Summary: Great!
Review: The Bible part of this book is just like any other- and that is how it needs to be! On top of that though, this Bible contains devotionals, and a great index, and also a place where you can mark off the sections of the Bible once you've read them. I really recommend this one for any of you who are shopping for teenagers.

Summary: excellent among the teen bible selection
Review: This Bible has the original NIV version of the bible, but it also includes daily devotions for all teenagers that you can really relate to and help you learn more about yourself and make your walk with God stronger. It also has in it questions that any usual teen or any christian or non-christian would ask that are hard to find answers for. I think its an awesome book. I find it a very interesting guiding tool and I think it will help me with my personal walk with God. BUY THIS!

Summary: Great!
Review: this bible is really great because of the little boxes that explain hard to understand things in the text, and also because it's NIV (new international version) so its in plain simple to understand english. if you go to a chistian school and need a good bible for class you should get this it explains everything so well only jesus himself could have said it better

Summary: Excellent devotional bible
Review: This is an excellent devotional Bible. The first reviewer who doesn't like the Bible because it condemns witchcraft is completely ignorant of New Testament Greek, and seems to dislike anything that cramps their lifestyle or beliefs. The NIV is an excellent translation based on the oldest and best manuscripts and translated by people who actually know Greek, and don't use alternate definitions that don't reflect the true text in order to make things that are condemned by the Bible seem accaptable. If you want your kids to learn what the Bible says, and not what a Wiccan wants it to say, this is a great devotional Bible.

Summary: This bible is so good, I just keep buying it
Review: When my kids asked to buy their own bible five years ago I was so excited. We got right in the car and went to the Christian bookstore. My kids looked at several student and teen bibles, and this is the one they chose. It is an awesome blend of devotions, teen stories, neat information, and the Bible in contemporary english. They were immediately attracted to the bold colors and the layout. We purchased two.

Through the years we have had an opportunity to buy or suggest this bible to other teens, too. Cousins, friends, and youth at the church. I think I have personally purchased about 6 of them. Buy one for your teen! You won't be disappointed!
