Product Description
Product Description
Accurate to the Original, Relevant to Today. Uses the clearest, most reliable and up-to-date Bible translation on the market: Today's New International Version.
Over six hundred info boxes throughout the Bible text shed new light on God. Includes: Mini-articles introducing the Bible and explaining how to make the most of it in daily life. A one-year reading plan. Our research found a concern among youth leaders and clergy that some Youth Bibles play too heavily on 'case studies' and other supplementary material that distract young readers from the Bile text itself. Effectively they are reading a modern-day writer's interpretation and application of the Bible, rather than engaging with the Scriptures and drawing conclusions for themselves.
The TNIV Youth Bible is similarly packed with fascinating text boxes (over 600 in fact), but they do not attempt to summarise or interpret the Bible.Instead, every box is linked to a verse designed to draw the reader's eyes to the Scriptures themselves - explaining, illuminating, contextualising, but never replacing God's Word. Teens will be given help in understanding what they read but encouraged to make their own decisions on how it applies to their life. There are four types of text boxes: In Other Words, People and Places, Making Connections and Sign of the Times, and are written by one of Britain's most respected youth workers. Jenny Baker served for Youth for Christ for a decade and has written innovative youthwork resource material for leading organisations such as Christian Aid, Spring Harvest and Youthwork magazine.
About the Author
First published in 1979, the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION has become the world's best-selling contemporary Bible translation. More than 100 scholars worked for fifteen years to complete it. Their main concern is that the NIV is faithful to the original languages while producing a clear, beautifully written and dignified translation suitable for private and public use.

This Bible was purchased for a young lad who was being Christened. It is not the first time I have bought a Youth Bible for a young person because it is such a good edition as it gives contemporary comments that help relate what is being read with every day life. My daughter loved hers when she was young. It certainly encourages reading of the scriptures in a way that other versions don't for youngsters. That's what I think anyhow.

I got this youth bible for my son who is 10 years old and he has found it very good and he has been using it a lot at church aswell as at home. We wanted the niv as it is the same bible that we use in church. This was very good value for money.
