First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Zondervan for sending me a copy of "Rock Solid Faith Study Bible for Teens" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

The Rock Solid Faith Study Bible For Teens is a cool resource. The NIV text is understandable and engaging for a younger audience – it was the Bible translation I fell in love with at 16 although the wording does seem a bit different from what I'm used to reading. The features of this particular Bible edition is a focus on building a rock solid foundation of faith and relationship with God.

Rock Solid PROMISES showcases what is (and is not) promised in scripture. Rock Solid PRINCIPLES gives practical application for Biblical concepts. Rock Solid TRUTHS examines the Christian worldview and features explorations of other religions. Rock Solid PLANS reveals God’s plan for daily Christian living. Unshaken PEOPLE offers Biblical examples of perseverance. Unshaken GOD reveals God’s character and attributes.

This incredible Bible also includes reading plans, a topical index, a concordance and maps for reference and study. The only thing I’m used to seeing in study Bibles that is not included in this volume is a collection of study notes at the bottom of each page and lots of footnotes and cross-references. There are basic footnotes, though. This would be a good starter Bible to build faith on a foundation of who God is and how we can live to please Him. I believe that is a valuable place to begin. I would’ve liked to have this for my first Bible. If it had been, I think I’d know God’s promises inside-out.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
