Best NIV Teen Study Bible

Monday, January 26, 2009

I would like to recommend the NIV Teen Study Bible, what I believe to be the best Teen Study Bible available.  Kids age 12 - 15 need a Bible that they can read, understand and relate to.  The New International Version is now revised for a new generation.  If you are homeschooling your children, you find this invaluable as a resource. As an on-the-go teen, they are moving fast, but you are going to find that God is moving faster!!  The NIV Teen Study Bible will help your child keep in step with all he/she has done, is doing, and is going to do in the world—and in his/her life. 

This NIV Teen Study Bible is totally revised.  It is the best-selling Bible to help your child discover the eternal truths of God’s Word and apply them to the issues they face today.   It tells them what God is saying to them personally.

You already know that this New International Version is the most read and most trusted Bible translation available today.

I have found the NLT2 Life Application Study Bible, what I think is today’s best-selling Study Bible.  This New Living Text 2 Life Application Bible has been updated and expanded.  In it I have found over 300 new Life Application notes with nearly 350 revisions and a Christian Worker’s Resource making the number one Bible even better.  To enhance the study is a Free iLumina software CD-ROM.

Studying the Bible is a complicated at times and I need many references to help me with the study and I find this NLT2 Life Application Study Bible with all of its updates to really “fill the ticket”.  I would encourage anyone wanting to understand the Bible better to use this Bible.  Send it to your favorite student.

Bible Translations

Friday, October 31, 2008

new-king-james-biblesThere have been two major recognized modern translations of the Bible from the original Hebrew language in which it was written.  The first of these translations was undertaken by the Church of England in 1604, under the decree of King James I.  This was done in response to the perceived inaccuracies in earlier translations.  Thus the King James Version of the Bible was written, and is still hailed as the most accurate of the translations ever performed.

However, in 1975, in order to combat the antiquated language of the King James Version, a man named Arthur Farstad initiated a modern translation to update the vocabulary and grammar of the original King James Version.  The fruit of the project was the New King James Bible, and although not quite as accurate as the original King James Version, has been updated to be understood and appreciated by modern audiences.
