Bible, Revolution The Bible for Teen Guys.

So I have this nice Bible that I love to read. The reason for this is probably because of its layout and its ability to help you understand the stories inside of it. The Bible I am reading is called Revolution, The Bible for Teen Guys. It has a very nice layout because it's not all just one continuous story. It breaks the books down into a structure that is easy to understand. It also gives variouse little excerpts of different things that we should be doing to praise god. These can come in full pages called Battlelines, or even short text message formats called challenge notes or now or never. They also have captions so to speak relating to what the book is talking about and asks you questions regarding events in today's society. Now the Battleline pages are probably some of my favorite because they relate to everyday life of a teenager in modern day. It goes through a Q&A format of GOD asking you a question then a person's reply. Then after the Q&A it tells you how GOD would expect you to handle things even using scripture to prove the point. Next they put in versus pages telling you about the two characters of a story and comparing them and telling why GOD helped them.Also at the beginning of every book they tell you a little bit about the book. They give the author, audience, setting, verse to remember, theme to consider. Then they also tell you an unchanging truth about you. You would think that would be it but that's not they even give you some life lessons in the form of scripture to remember. Now just my advice for you if you are a guy goes pick up this Bible it will help to understand things a lot better. If you are a teen guy you don't even have to read it all just go through it and look at the Battlelines because they will relate to you and probably draw you into actually reading what they are talking about.
Now I just wanted to talk about a Battleline that I came across today. Its theme is Honesty. The Q&A goes like this.
"Q:Where were you last night?
A: I went to that new horror movie-Psycho on Soroity Row. It was intense!
Q: Your parents let you see that?
A: Well, not exactly I told them I was going to see another movie with a couple friends from band. I figured what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them.
Q: So you just looked them in the eyes and lied? Wow. I never thought of you as a cold-blooded liar.
A: Whoa, man. That's a little harsh. I mean, yeah, I tell little white lies here and there. But not when something big is on the line, I bet I tell the truth 88 percent of the time. That's like and A+ average. I think that's pretty good.
Q: So if I only killed one out of every 100 people, I wouldn't be a murderer?
A: Come on, that's totally differnt. Murder hurts other people; harmless lies don't.
Q: If murder and lying are so different, why are they both listed in the Ten Commandments?
A; Wrong, Bible Boy! The Ten Commandments don't say "Don't lie." They say not to give false testimony against other people. And last night I never said anything false about other people.
Q:sure you did.
A:How
Q: You told your parents your friends went to see that other movie with you." (Revolution The Bible for Teen Guys, ZONDERVAN,pg.243.)

It goes on to say that most people point out that its okay to lie to save somebody's life. But that you probably won't ever be in that situation. Now this has got to be on of my favorite things about this book it is 100% true and it is something that EVERYONE has done at one time or another. At the end of this Battlelines is something that is so true "Since we can't lie to GOD about anything (hebrews 4:13), why should we be dishonest with anyone else? If we all lived our life's by that we would really get somewhere in life.

Now I just really wanted to bring this Bible to the foregrounds in case people haven't heard of it. Even if you tried once and had a hard time try again and this time you will be surprised at what you are able to understand from this. To each their own and have a good day.
