I would like to buy a Bible for my 18 year old daughter. She has gotten involved with our church youth group.
We are Methodist.
...
What are your thoughts??
There are an insane number of editions of the Bible! In (parochial, Catholic) grammar school. I used the "Good News" edition; my parents taught CCD using The Way (I am pretty sure these are Catholic editions) ... while my dad has either the NIV or the Jerusalem Bible as his primary text.
Anyway, which one does the youth minister recommend? That might be a good start ... or I can ask my friend (who is a Methodist minister whose work focuses on youth) for advice.
