This is the Bible that helps young women love God greatly with their lives using an easy system for applying God's Word and encouragement from women of faith, past and present. How do you, as a young woman, learn to love God and others well in this crazy, upside-down world? There is no better way than through God’s Word. The Young Women Love God Greatly Bible uses the proven SOAP Bible study framework—Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer—to create the path for daily, personal interaction with the Bible and the God who loves you. Combined with devotions, profiles of biblical and historical women, personal testimonies from women around the world, and mentor letters to guide you through life’s challenges and questions, this Bible provides a safe and encouraging community-like experience to grow in your faith and navigate life through the truth of the Word. Features
I have been reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation with a small group of women since January. The goal was to read it in its entirety in 6 months. I guess we made it closer to 7 months. This is my first read through from beginning to end reading without pauses. It is a real infusion of scripture to read in this way. The other 2 times I’ve read through the Bible have taken me about 2 years. I don’t believe a rating is necessary because as a Christ-follower I believe what 2 Timothy 3:16 says, All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
There are so many wonderful features included in this Young Women Love God Greatly Bible. I’ll explain a few and then list more below.
The blue cloth-bound cover has a woven texture that is not only beautiful, but very sturdy. I love that it is specifically designed for young women, but as someone who is not particularly young, I enjoy it as well.
I love the ample margins for notetaking and journaling, but I wish they were lightly lined because I tend to write uphill when I don’t have a guide.
Having two attached ribbon place markers is a plus, and they’re two different colors.
Having introduction pages and memory verses for each book is a great perk.
The New English Translation (NET) is relatively new to me. It is different than my usual translation(s) so verses I’ve previously memorized kind of trip me up here. The language used is easy to understand, but the wording/translation will take a bit for me to get used to. Such as: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1 NET
A feature I find interesting is this book includes 10 topical reading plans and 50 reading plans for reading through Scripture using the SOAP method (Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer.) I’m not familiar with this type of study, but I plan to try it out.
More: • Maps • Timelines • 100 devotions • Personal testimonies from women around the world • Heroes of the Bible • Reflection questions and challenges
I really like the style, appearance, and content of this study bible. The print is easy on the eyes, and the unique, white slipcover is pretty.
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 NET

WOW! I love everything about the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible. First off, I am a stickler about having Bible ribbons. The NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible has two ribbons!! The 9.5-point NET Comfort print is easy to read, with wide sidebars for note-taking.
The NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible features the SOAP Method of Bible study. This Bible also features beautiful Scripture art and 100 Devotions, plus more. My overall feeling for the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible is that it would make a great gift for young women entering high school or college.
I believe this is a durable Bible excellent for years to come. I would recommend it to others and give the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible 5*/5*
My Thoughts about the Young Women Love God Greatly NET Bible:
My first thought is this is an easy-to-read Bible! The print size is helped by it being in bold black letters.
Additional reasons why I love this Bible:
1. There is plenty of room on the Bible pages to take notes, write Bible verses, or any other type of writing.
2. The pages are easy to turn, and they do not stick together. The pages actually have a matte finish which helps them to turn easy.
3. The Bible is aesthetically pleasing. It has a lovely teal or blue-green color scheme running through it. Two satin ribbon markers are in light blue and sage green.
4. Challenge and Reflect questions (located in the shaded background teal color on the Bible pages) that are brief, but they help me think deep about the truths in the Bible.
5. I love the scroll written Bible verses in teal color that enhance the first page of each of the Bible books.
6. Each of the Bible books, whether the OT or NT, have the Bible book written in that language. For example, the book of Luke will have the Greek name for Luke. The book of Amos will have the Hebrew name for Amos. This is included on the Title page for each Bible book. This is such an interesting detail that makes this Bible unique.
7. I believe this is an excellent Bible for a new Christian or a seasoned Christian. This Bible is excellent for a woman of any age, not just a younger woman.
8. Throughout the Bible I have the feeling that it is a personal and intimate Bible and yet a community minded Bible.
9. I am enjoying reading this translation. I have compared it alongside other versions. For example: ESV, CSB, and NIV. The NET-New English Translation is one of my favorites. I’ve enjoyed reading the history of the translation process.
10. This is the first New English Translation Bible I’ve had the pleasure of reading and reviewing. I’d had a dream and prayer of being able to hold one in my hands and read it. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Bible Gateway.
