ByJulie

Book Description:

The NIV Bible for Teen Girls, designed specifically for girls ages 13 to 18, is for real teenage girls with real lives. Packed with daily readings, highlighted promises of God, challenging insights, smart advice, and open discussion about the realities of life, this Bible is designed to help teen girls grow in faith, hope, and love. The NIV Bible for Teen Girls is as sincere about your walk with God as you are, helping you discover his will for all areas of your life, including relating to your family, dealing with friends, work, sports, guys, and so much more.

 

Features include:

 

 

    • Daily readings for teen girls by popular Christian female authors (Annie Downs, Bekah Hamrick Martin, Christine Caine, Crystal Kirgiss, Bethany Hamilton, Nicole Weider, Elsa Kok Colopy, Denise Van Eck and more)

 

    • Character profiles of women in the Bible

 

    • Book introductions for each book of the Bible

 

    • Highlighted promises of God: verses worth remembering

 

    • A concordance for help in finding verses

 

  • The complete text of the bestselling New International Version (NIV) of the Bible

    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.

They are the games we play with each other. If you are my Facebook friend, please know my FB life is multi-faceted, and…

Ah, vacation. The sun. The sand. The people. The traffic. The long lines. Wait. Why is this appealing? That tends to be how fast my mind goes when it comes to vacation. I’m an introvert, and my home is a nice place for me to land. If anything, my ideal vacation is when everyone else…
