The Revolution Begins with You! In case you didn't know, you're in a war. Your enemy is dead serious. He wants you to think the battle raging around you is no big deal. It is a big deal. Your life, your relationships, your world---it's all a big deal, and it takes a big, God-filled heart to make a difference. It's time to stand up and fight for what is right. Time to be a revolutionary---living your faith on the edge, challenging things that need to be challenged, discovering new possibilities, and helping others to discover them as well. Fill your hands with Revolution. It'll open your eyes, strengthen your courage, and guide you like a compass toward a life worth living. But this is a Bible! Yeah---a Bible like none other you've ever read, for today's teenage guy going toe-to-toe with a hard-hitting world. A world God knows all about. He's the authority when it comes to understanding girls, sex, communication, drugs, divorce, relationships, success, parents, popularity, peer pressure and everything else guys face. He also knows what makes you tick, he loves you more than you can ever imagine, and he wants you to experience a life of purpose, power and impact. The features in this Bible will strengthen you and hone your spiritual fighting edge. Battle lines show you how other teen guys deal with relationships, sex, drug abuse, and other real-life issues. Match-Ups pit the good guys against the bad guys of the Bible to uncover winning---and losing---approaches to life. Challenge Notes do just challenge you to reach for everything God wants you to be. And there's plenty more---enough to help you make a kingdom-difference in the world around you. A Revolution of the heart isn't about how confident, strong, or popular you are. It's about what God can do in you and through you. He can revolutionize your relationships, your opportunities, and the whole course of your life. He can use you to change the world around you. Are you ready to find out how? Then look inside, and let the revolution begin.

(www.RevolutionBible.com) The New International Version (NIV) is today's most read and most trusted English Bible translation. Since its release in 1973, the NIV has sold over 160 million copies. The goal of the NIV translation team was to produce a contemporary translation whose accuracy, clarity and literary quality would make it ideal for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing and liturgical use. Today the NIV is accepted by more denominations than any other translation and is supported by a library of reference resources unmatched by any other translation.
Books can be attributed to "Anonymous" for several reasons:
* They are officially published under that name * They are traditional stories not attributed to a specific author * They are religious texts not generally attributed to a specific author
Books whose authorship is merely uncertain should be attributed to Unknown.
I love this Bible for teens! Another vibrant color like the KJV Backpack Bible, this NIV Bible for Teens has an awesome green color. This Bible is slim and about the size of a trade paperback book. Using the New International Version, teens can use a very readable and trusted translation. Full-color maps, red letter words of Christ, ribbon marker and a great readable font size make this perfect for just about everyone.
