Summary: My teenager loves it
Review: I bought this Bible for my teenager at the end of the school year. When I first saw this Bible I thought my daughter was'nt going to like because of the small print. But she thought it looked cool and with the metal case it did'nt look like any other Bible she had seen before. The first time she took it to her youth group it was a hit, everyone wanted to know where she got it. Now she reads it more than any other Bible she's owned, it's very easy to under stand. With the help of one of those credit card looking plastic magnifing glasses she has no problem studying her lessons. It's price is just about right and I don't have to buy a cover for it and it's very tough (she droped it a few times and it can take the punishment she gives it, only had to bend it back in shape one time, very easy). I only wish that they made them bigger, thats why I only give it 4 stars, because it is difficult for me to read without a magnifing glass but every teen and young adult that we know likes it.

Summary: LOVE IT!
Review: I had a hard time giving this book only 4 stars, but I wish it had a version that came with apocryphal texts. This version is meant to target teens, which I am not. However I just love it. The metal slips easily in and out of my purse. No zipper to wear out, no leather to scuff. Another reader mentions the tiny print. It IS small, but very clear. Some of us older "teens" may need reading glasses. Thankfully I'm not yet there...

Summary: Not Just For Young Adults
Review: I know the category states "young adult." Maybe so, but I'm no longer anywhere near "young adult" and I still find the durable (and classy) metal cover (either "thirsty" [ISBN: 0-8423-7232-6] or contemporary cross [ISBN: 0-8423-7233-4]) and "New Living Translation" to be an irresistable combination and a great addition to my "commuter kit." Want a compact Bible that will be able to withstand the rigors of always having it with you? Want a readable modern translation that is faithful to the original texts? Buy this - you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Have Great Vision? Your Going To Need It!
Review: I purchased this New Living Translation Metal Bible last week. It just arrived today. If you are planning on purchasing this bible, make sure you have VERY good eye sight! I have 20-20 vision and the text is VERY hard to read. Also, this Bible is VERY small.

Summary: Youth Leader? This is a great purchase!
Review: I work with teens. The Bible I've been using is sooooo beat up from being shoved in a backpack on the way to camp, to work, to Bible studies, or to a Young Life club. I just bought this(in the orange "one way" version)and plan on taking it with me everywhere! It's small (mentioned by another reader), but very "readable". I'm excited because this Bible should survive getting "attacked" from the random pens floating around in my purse/backpack. It's light enough I can take it anywhere! I plan on taking it to the mall to get it engraved w/ my name! Woo hoo! I can't wait to use this Bible to do a club talk at Young Life..... Take care all! Happy reading! Fight the good fight! God bless!

Summary: The Word, in a super cool, super portable edition
Review: This the cleverest design for a teenager's Bible I've ever seen. It comes in 3 terrific colors: Silver with the semblance of a flip-top can embossing and "Thirsty ?" written on it, a neon apple green with a name tag embossing and "Identified", and a wonderful bright orange with a "One-Way" arrow.
It has a magnetic flap, and the back and front covers are hinged; the entire package looks very sturdy and is quite light.
As expected in such a slimline format, the font size is small, though I've seen worse in Bibles of this proportion, and if you have good vision (or good spectacles) there shouldn't be a problem; after all, this is a travel Bible, not a study version.
Other details to this Bible are: It does not have the words of Jesus in red, and the only "extras" are three handy lists in the back of the volume: "Great Topics in the Bible", "Great Stories in the Bible", and "Great Verses in the Bible". This "Metal Bible" should not be limited to teens either; it would be a worthy investment for any adult who works with or teaches young people, or one that just wants a nifty stylish Bible for their briefcase or purse. The Word: Take it with you wherever you go, and look cool doing it ! The New Living Translation is ideal for young people, as it reads in the same plain and simple language that would be used in a novel. This makes an excellent introduction to scripture, and one that will bring the Bible to life in words that are easy to understand.
Mark 10:14
New Living Translation: "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them ! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these".
King James Version: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God"
New King James Version: "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God".

Summary: God's Word -- Totally Hip and Sleek
Review: Who thought of this idea? (Not the Bible -- but the metal binding it is in.) The binding is just an awesome addition to an all ready wonderful translation. The New Living Translation is very readable and easily understandable. And now I see there are four different designs of the metal Bible to choose from. This is a great gift for anyone who is ready for an exciting Bible adventure.
