I have used several Bibles and translations over the years, and fell in love with this one the first time I saw it. While marketed as a teen study Bible in my local Christian book store, I have found it to be one of the best study bibles that I have ever worked with. The questions in the Margins are relevant and thought provoking. The trivia and background information were interesting and brought the relevant passages alive. My (teen) Sunday school class really enjoyed using my copy in class as this often explained the passage better than our text did. The NLT is in plain english, easy to read, and easy to understand. We use this translation in our youthgroup, and regular services, to ensure that even those with the most basic grasp of English will understand the scripture.
OUTSTANDING

The only Bible I know I have two of. It's that great of a Bible. I have one I keep with me everywhere especially when I'm traveling on official military orders, and then I have the other TQ Bible back home in Orlando with my family. It's a must have Bible for any Christian. It's words are broken down 'barney-style' so everyone can understand it. It has an awesome concordance in the back, so whether it's flipping through the Books for Sunday Sermon, or you want to experience it by yourself on various subjects. I don't like, I absolutely LOVE it.
Wouldn't trade it for another

I am a 19 year old college student and this Bible is excellent for teenagers and college students alike. If you like to take notes in your Bible like I do, you will love this Bible! It provides plenty of margin room for note-takers. Also in the margins are questions that stir up the mind, but they aren't enough to get in the way if you don't like to use them. Every once in awhile I will refer to these questions but most of the time I write over them. At the bottom of each margin is a key verse which is good for a spice of inspiration throughout the day. Another helpful key is the biographies of the Biblical characters at each mention of his/her name. They are very interesting and stimulating!This is a perfect Bible to take to church, Bible studies, or homegroups. It is also a good bedtime/morningtime/quiet time Bible.
Amazing! Actually gets students excited!

I purchased these books for the students in my Youth Group and they have actually become excited to get in the Word! I thank God for this Bible and the opportunity to meet Steve Keels at the Willow Creek Youth Conference! It is so wonderful to work with youth who have been energized by this great study bible! Praise God!

My name is Scott Dahlman and I'm 17 years old. I have attended Good Shepherd church, where Steve Keels is a youth pastor, for 6 years. He is a very knowledgeable and biblical man. He has been working on this bible for about 5 years and has done a wonderful job in this bible. I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants a great student study bible.
