Synopsis

The Guidebook is the first student Bible developed especially for mainline and progressive evangelicals, offering a host of exercises and background material that will enable students to understand what is really in the Bible and how to live out its message. Rather than attempting to entertain teens with relevant, hip sidebars that merely serve as distractions, The Guidebook, based on The New Revised Standard Edition currently used in Protestant churches, will help evangelical teenagers engage more deeply with God’s Word and apply it to real life situations.  For young students and parents of Bible students seeking a more meaningful way to connect with scripture in their daily lives, The Guidebook is the new standard for today’s youth.
