This bible was given me to borrow from a dear friend who had just received an older Bible, that she felt suited her better. From a young age I always loved the way it looked, and always looked over my shoulder when my friend had it out; it made my Bible look boring.
The thing about this Bible that's different is that the writing is blue and all other bits and bobs pink. At the start of each chapter it gives a wonderful synopsis, what happens, who's in it, where it took place, when it took place. Also many of the chapters start off with a timeline, so you can see around what time each of the special people from that chapter was born, or went on a journey, or died. But somehow that's not all; this Bible has a variety of other features, when you flick through the pages there are many text boxes for you to look at.
Amazing facts, gives the reader surprising bits of information which you might have missed when reading the passage. There are also what now? Where someone accounts of a little problem they have and it points to a verse in the scripture which might help the person out. (What I love about all the text boxes is that if they do say a verse or point to a bit of scripture it is right there, either on the same page as the text box or very close by)
There was quite a few 'I survived' posts where a named person shares their experiences living as a Christian and it is nice to see from them, what bible verses helped them through a difficult time or experiences that they teach were wrong and try and make the reader avoid doing. There were also many charts and maps scattered throughout the Bible, I didn't look at this so much but if you were a younger Christian or maybe one who does not know the Bible stories that well, would thoroughly enjoy these as they break down the story into almost bullet points and then reference where the verse is. I particularly enjoyed the maps however and for me it really put the stories to a place (not just an imaginary one in my head.) There were also many lovely illustrations throughout the Bible but particularly in the middle with what they call 'history remix'. It showed home life, dress, customs, holiday and other areas of daily life in Bible times - personally I found this interesting.
That's not all, there were many memory verses made clear throughout the bible, and a clever quick answers (believing in god, anger, jealousy - what to do) index near the front of the Bible, which was easy to use. There were also 'I'm not the only one' text boxes that showed embarrassing stories which were very light-hearted; personally I thought this distracted me.
There was many a half-page devoted to 'is it ok?' Styled questions, where the writer asked some very interesting and topical questions. In the front of this Bible there is a double page devoted to how to use the Bible and shows all these features; there it says the 'is it ok?' questions were 'designed to give you a reality check on what the Bible has to say about the questions that are really on your mind' this section was really beneficial to me, and definitely cleared out some doubts and fears in my mind.
But my personal favourite feature from this Bible is the 'at a glance' text box these normally come up every now and again. These shows a variety of women and girls, good or bad, their personal stories, who they are married to, what their role in society is. I personally found it all very interesting and I never realised how many women there were in the Bible, these little synopsis on each of the women definitely wants me to look into my own Bible and try and read more of their stories.
Good points: The Books of the Bible in Alphabetical Order page, where you can find a book really easily. I personally like the maps, history remix, some of the 'I survived' accounts, the 'is it ok?' styled questions, the amazing facts boxes and the 'at a glance.'
Bad points: I don't think there is a place where is shows how to find a verse. For example if I gave you John 3:16 would you be able to find it; if you were a beginner? I found some of the 'I survived' and 'what now' accounts quite immature (however I am nearly 17.) I also thought the 'I'm not the only one' text boxes were light-hearted but didn't really have anything to do with the verses.
Overall I say this Bible is more suitable to a younger teenager 11-15 year old. It is a fantastic read (all the little text boxes and illustrations make it interesting) and definitely taught me a few things!
