What is a good teen Bible to get?

Question

I want a big bible. Teen. Girl. Very good and easy. Anything but King James Version. Possibly with the apocryphe(or whatever the name is of the unincluded books). Lots of help. And a print sixe that isn't to small. And preferably a girly, nice, cover. Can anyone help me find what I am looking for?

Answer 1

"Extreme" Teen Study Bible (New King James Version) would be a good one to consider.

Or you could check out:

Answer 2

Well, "Apocrypha" and "easy" and "girl" definitely limit your choices. In fact, I know of no bible that satisfies all 3 of those criteria. However, there IS a solution...



Get an easy bible that includes the Apocrypha, and then get a girly bible cover for it (there's lots and lots of girly bible covers...)



If you want an easy-to-read bible with the Apocrypha and educational study notes, this is your only choice.

If you don't want the study notes, then THIS is your only choice

Here you can find loads of girly bible covers

Seriously - when I say "only", I mean "only". Here's a reading level chart

The next easiest bible that includes the Apocrypha (after the CEV) is the NAB (a Roman Catholic bible) and then the GNT. Both of those are also respectable bibles - but not as easy to read as the CEV. The NAB

comes in scads of editions, but none of them with "girly" covers. All NAB bibles come with educational study notes (with a definite Roman Catholic bias to those notes).



The GNT is fairly ecumenical (which means that many different sects approve its use), but it also does not come in anything particularly "girly".

It looks like your stuck with having to buy a bible AND a girly bible cover. The good thing: you can get a pretty cheap bible - because the bible cover will make it look really nice. I do recommend that you get a hardcover bible, though.



Let me know if you have questions about the bibles I suggested, or questions as to why I did not recommend other bibles.

Answer 3

Try NIV True Images: The Bible for Teen Girls. I've never read it, but I did a search for something like you wanted and found it. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

You spelled proud wrong. Why waste your money on such a horribly written piece of literature? If it must be religious then at least get The Divine Comedy or Paradise Lost.

Answer 5

Don't go for NIV, they try to make it easy to read but just end up changing the meaning of entire passages.

Answer 6

I recommend the New Living Translation for teens. It is so easy on the eyes!

Answer 7

Just get a Bible. You can buy one in a book store.

Answer 8

Letter to a Christian Nation

Answer 9
