The Extreme Teen Bible dares teens to crack open its pages and live up to the "cutting edge" standard that"s found inside. This New King James translation (thoroughly explained in teen-friendly language) is clad in funky, purple print and snowboard-type logos, appealing to the thrill-seeker by promising a life of "no fears, no regrets, just a future with a promise". Generous introductions, full page profiles of faith-filled biblical characters, and a quick reference index covering subjects from abortion to worship guide the young reader into a more "extreme" relationship with God. "What"s It Mean?" sidebars appear on almost every page, answering tough questions, pointing out God"s promises and directing teens into the will of God for their lives. By portraying Christ as the "truest revolutionary of all time", the Bible becomes a survival guide to the world that teens live in. The editors assert that "It"s all here"--truth, inspiration, bottom-line actual reality". The only question left is: "Are you up for the challenge?" --Jill Heatherly
