Review: NIV Bible for Teen Guys

The NIV Bible for Teen Guys, published by Zondervan, is a devotional Bible targeted toward young men from the ages of 13 to 18. Offering daily devotional readings from authors such as Mark Batterson and Max Lucado, the goal of this Bible is to build faith, wisdom, and strength in a growing godly man.

This is a great introductory Bible for a teenage guy. There is not much flash with it; the grey and yellow accent is a modern design that even picky teenagers can appreciate. The text size is average and readable, and the devotional readings are short yet rich. They contain biblical and theological truths while applying it to the teenage life - all without sounding condescending.

The Bible also features short introductions to each book and highlights of the men of the Bible. The Bible highlights, in a light yellow box, a few key verses in each book, which is great for easily-distracted teens who want to be able to siphon important truths from a sea of words. The Bible is hardcover and durable for everyday use.

As a young male ministry student, I highly recommend this Bible to the growing teenager in your life.

Product Review: LL Bean Extra-Large Rolling Adventure Duffle

Overview When adventure strikes, the right bag makes all the difference. Too often, however, luggage bags are either large, ponderous suitcases or small, flimsy duffle bags.

This is the problem which LL Bean seeks to rectify in the LL Bean Extra-Large Rolling Adventure Duffle. With a 137-liter capacity, this duffel is able to hold the items of the biggest pack-rat while being easy to transport. It features a telescoping handle, smooth-gliding wheels, and cinch straps.

Review: NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible

A revised version of the previously published NIV Zondervan Study Bible, the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible (Zondervan, 2018) represents the best of biblical scholarship in a compact study Bible. It introduces Biblical Theology (BT), a discipline that is intended for readers to weave individual books and stories into a larger metanarrative that reveals God's redemptive plan through the entire Bible. To that end, this study Bible includes articles introducing BT and articles on theological matters. While the emphasis of this Bible may appeal to a more Reformed/covenantal audience, the contributors span a variety of theological traditions and are respected authorities within their discipline. The verse-by-verse notes—over 20,000—are insightful and suitable for determining the historical, literary, and cultural background of the text with a view to responsible interpretation of Scripture. There are in-text cross references, a concordance, maps, and useful charts. Each bo...

Review: The Church From Every Tribe And Tongue

It is no surprise that the locus of the Christian Church is moving outward, from the West to beyond. The missional impulse of recent movements has expanded the meaning of the Church and made John the Seer’s vision increasingly clearer, “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb” (Revelation 7:9). In light of the coming of global Christianity, the Western church has become more pressed to establish a global theology. Langham Global Library’s growing Majority World Theology series has provided exposure to Christian thinkers in the majority world on various doctrines. In its most recent addition, The Church from Every Tribe and Tongue: Ecclesiology in the Majority World (2018), a variety of global voices investigate the doctrine of the Church, offering insights into how non-Western lenses on the Church can shape Western theology and practice. Nine respected theologians and biblical sc...
