    4PReBwAAQBAJI spend a decent amount of time with teen girls.  Some I have known since early elementary school where reading the Bible was exciting and something easy to challenge them to make part of their daily routine.

The teen years? It’s a challenge to challenge them. When they do open a Bible, it’s usually an app on their Smartphone. So when I see a traditional Bible, I’m skeptical. I don’t see teens carry them around much anymore.
I loved that this Bible has character introductions, daily readings, character profiles and a concordance. I have no problem with the NIV translation. However, I didn’t find the book visually stimulating. I tried to look at it as one of the girls, and they can pull up a verse in a bigger font on their phone. They can find commentaries and concordances. Reading plans from Christian women they admire. With all that, I think a hand held Bible has to compete for reader attention. I know it’s God’s word and that should be enough. But…teens have so much competing for their attention. I wish the NIV Bible for Teen Girls had more to see than a pink outline here and there and very small font.
I received the NIV Bible for Teen Girls from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
