The main thing you need to be aware of is that this is a devotional bible, NOT a study bible. You will not find footnotes or maps explaining the text in further detail. What will you find?
- Scattered throughout the Bible are roughly 333 one-page devotions focused on a specific verse found within the book where the devotion appears. Several of these are excerpts from popular student edition books, such as All In, Thrive, and Gods at War. At the end of the bible is an index arranging these devotions by topic.
- Since this is a bible for guys, there are 55 one-page highlights of Men of the Bible. Each page tells what the man's name means, where his story can be found, and what lessons he can teach us. There is an index at the back of the book for these highlights as well.
- Each book of the Bible starts with a one-page introduction. It details when the events happened, who is in the book, popular verses, and a brief synopsis.
- The Bible ends with a 60-page concordance.
While I think a study bible might be the best choice for a teenage boy wanting to understand the Scriptures, I do like the features contained in this book. The devotions are relevant and I think boys will be drawn to the stories of men. The book I was given was hardback. If I were going to purchase this book, I would probably spend the extra money for an imitation leather cover.
