God Wants to Meet You in These Pages. A generation of Christians grew up with Message Bibles in their hands. It was the translation of choice for many churches seeking to draw the next generation into the transformational power of the Scriptures. It's time for a new generation to have that same opportunity to read God's Word in a conversational and down-to-earth cadence. New supplemental features make this a highly useable and engaging resource for contemporary students as they seek to discover the way of Jesus in the pages of the Bible. A carefully selected network of youth ministry professionals provide devotional content for this portion and the full Bible. Key features of this edition include: - Genre and book introduction tailored to students, - 26 devotions with guided reflection on key Bible passages, - Eugene's introduction to The Message with a supplemental essay on the Bible's relevance to today's students, - Guide for how to get the most of the Student Devotional Bible, - Text of The Message in a highly readable typesetting.
