Featuring book introductions connecting Christ to every book of the Bible, concise Q&A style study notes, topical articles tackling more complex faith questions, “Learn, Love, Live” focused Q&A callouts, devotionals to help foster personal growth, and charts, maps, and other helpful study tools placed throughout, this Bible is the ideal resource for teens who are ready for a deeper, more engaging study experience that will foster lifelong faith and discipleship.

My Take on the Book

The CSB Teen Study Bible is a great resource for teenagers who want to understand more than just what a Bible passage says. What I really like is that the study material is placed right alongside the Scripture, so teens can explore questions about faith, identity, relationships, and purpose without constantly searching through another section of the book. The “Learn, Love, Live” prompts also provide a simple way to move from reading a passage to thinking about how it connects to everyday life. The book includes plenty of additional resources, including devotionals, charts, maps, a concordance, a Bible dictionary, and introductions to each book that point readers toward Christ. At nearly 2,000 pages, it is substantial, but the portable size and durable binding make it practical for regular use. For parents, youth leaders, or teens looking for a Bible designed specifically for deeper personal study, this is an excellent resource to consider.

This was an amazing Bible that will really open your child's eyes to prayers, devotions and more as it comes to the many highlighted versus that are a part of the Bible itself. The highlighted Bible versus are set up to make memorization easy and I can say that personally I wish that I had one of these Bibles myself as I was growing up. The Bible also does a great job at going into further things as it relates to religion and some of the history and background to give kids some context.

Book Review - The Barbour Bible Reference Companion

The Barbour Bible Reference Companion
 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg

About the Book
Open the door to better Bible study with The Barbour Bible Reference Companion! At 704 pages, it's big—but it's purposely designed for the average Bible student, not the expert. Featuring a dictionary, concordance, handbook, and explanations of Bible customs—with more than 200 full-color illustrations—this book is an all-in-one resource for everyday Bible study. Concise dictionary entries are combined with a select concordance of the most important verses, while a handbook of the entire Bible includes sidebars explaining the curious practices of ancient times. Maps and a complete index round out the volume.


My Take on the Book
For anyone that has struggled with passages in the Bible. For anyone that has wondered where places or people were, this book is an amazing resource for both. I found myself reading more and more and learning so much. Filled with amazing images and information, you are taken into the world in which the Bible shares and so much is cleared up. The book is written in a clear and straight forward manner, and I, for one, have to say that I was so impressed with the overall information that was being shared, as it is so much more than I would have first expected! All-in-all this was a great book that will help any church-goer with their understanding of the Bible too.
