Most youth Bibles are just teen versions of adult Bibles. Live takes an all-new, teen-centered approach. It includes a wealth of experiences and activities that help teens discover surprising things about God, see God involved in their lives, and express their faith creatively--both in the pages of the Bible and on the tie-in Web site. This is the only youth Bible with content created by teenagers. Art, photos, and other creative forms of self-expression from youth are packed into this Bible as a launching point to drive teens into God's Word. Teens will see how God works in the lives of other teens and be encouraged to express their faith, too. C. S. Lewis said, "We can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito." This Bible will show teens this truth. Features include NLT text, two-color interior (orange/black), student art, student poems, interactive tie-in Web site, sidebars that spark teen creativity, "Try This" feature that encourages teens to live out their faith, quotes and profiles of famous people of faith.

God talks to you through the Bible.
Now you can return the favor.
If you think it’s wrong to write in a Bible, get over it.
LIVE is designed for doodling. For reflection. As a place to let your ideas splash out across the page.
Inside are hundreds of opportunities to respond to what you read. To question. To think. To express yourself.
And to get you started, we’ve already included hundreds of expressions submitted by teenagers who looked for God in their neighborhoods… schools…families…the world. Wait until you see what they found.
And here’s what you’ll find…
Introductions to 16 real-life people who did remarkable things. Sergius Bulgakov. Pandita Rambai. Men and women from around the globe who asked the right questions when faced with a challenge—questions you need to know.
Jesus-Sightings throughout the Bible. You’ll see how Jesus was anything but an afterthought. You’ll find the thread that runs throughout the Bible from Genesis straight to Jesus.
Straightforward, means-what-it-says NLT text that makes for great devotional reading and solid study. Clear, concise, and accurate.
Your invitation to join the community. Just visit the Web site revealed inside and post your art…your writing…your insights into how God is working. We’re there, too, and when it’s time to reprint this Bible, we’ll use Web site submissions as illustrations.
So join in the dialogue. You’re invited—and it begins here.
LIVE.
It’s a Bible—and more.
It’s a work in progress.
Just like you.
