Promise Bible for Students

I ordered this bible for my 14 year old son who is in confirmation class. He has an NRSV gift bible which he was struggling with. I have the Learning Bible in the CEV edition which I teach bible from and most people I work with find the CEV very refreshing. The Promise Bible adds all of the cool stuff that student bibles like the Life Application and others have, but it is easier to comprehend than even the NIV which is important for those first studying the bible. I think the CEV also does a better job of keeping with the meaning of the scripture than the bibles I had as a kid like the Good News bible. The research for the CEV is very strong and compares strongly with most commentaries.I think this is a good bible for teens and a good version for all of us who have a little trouble with the kings english.

I bought this Bible two years ago and I love it. It has an appealing cover (and lots of people do judge books that way!). And the inside is truly amazing. It presents the Word of God in a way that makes teenagers want to read this Bible, whether they don't really know the Lord or they already have an awesome walk with Christ. The inserts (Promise, He, You, What if, etc) are great and they help students understand the Bible better. The 10 Challenges and Chacteristics of World Changers are awesome, too. The only problem is this Bible would have been better in an NIV or NRSV version. Still, the CEV is clear and easy to understand. Definately get this Bible for a teenager or adult!

The Promise Bible for Students is incredible. It's Editor, Ron Luce, the founder of Teen Mania Ministries [Woohoo! :)], has devotional notes used to encourage teens to live righteously and motivates them to take over their schools and Bible clubs with the power of God. This is a Bible that teens can actually understand and USE. I highly recommend it. God bless! Get this Bible!

This bible is very easy to understand and it gives you sections in each book that makes it easier to understand. This bible is highly reccomended if your a first time christian or you have an awesome walk with God.

WARNING: THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE AND IT WILL CHANGE YOURS! I guarenntee it. I tried to read the Bible for years but it was just to difficult. At age 28 I picked up this Bible and it has really penetrated my life. This bible is in CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH, thus the most difficult passages are a breeze to read. It is packed with very thought provoking commentary and everyone of God's promisis is highlighted with a brief message. I strongly recomend that you use adaily devotional guide to read this and any other Bible. There are tons of them out there and they all have a simple format to help you get the most out of reading the Bible in just minutes a day. I Use"Our Daily Bread" . GET THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
