I loved this Bible, and it is just perfect for teen girls. I love the devotions with the background being in a pink coloring just for the girly girl in us all, even adult women would love this Bible. I like that it has an index for the girls to be able to go to a particular devotion to read. It also contains an index of Women in the Bible, which I thought was a great idea since this Bible is for young girls in today's world. In addition, of course a topic index which is very helpful for young girls to find where to read about hope, faith, forgiveness, etc.
Whatever is going on in your daughter, granddaughter, or niece’s etc. life they will be able to find what they should read in order to help them overcome their fears, and give them courage to walk through it with God by their side. Each book of the Bible tells the reader what it is about before they proceed to read on. It also contains a concordance, which will be very useful to them as well. It is just a wonderful Bible for young girls to have; it offers some wonderful resources for our teen girls in today's rough world. In addition, the daily readings in this Bible are from some wonderful women of God, just to name a few of them are, Nicole Weider, Rebekah Hamrick, and many more.
I would recommend this book to anyone with a tween/teen girl, or adult women, because I thoroughly enjoyed this Bible for myself. I received this book free from Zondervan part of the BookLook Bloggers program, for my honest and un-biased opinion.

First of all, this is a beautiful Bible. The cover is a lovely turquoise with pink and orange chevron at the bottom and around the spine and back. The inside is beautiful too. There’s quite a bit of pink, but even those girls who are not so girly would love the print, the chevron and the adorable doodles throughout.
There are several features of this Bible that make it truly a wonderful option for not only teens, but also college age and beyond. As a 34 year old mom of 5, I found myself thinking that some of the features would really be of benefit to me. At the beginning of each book of the Bible, there is a “What’s it About” page. I love how concise it is (making my daughters more likely to actually read it) and I LOVE that it contains a “Verses you might recognize” section! What a great idea that was! There’s also a really thorough concordance and an index section at the back. I was immediately impressed at the attention to detail in this Bible – even the font is pretty.
Throughout the Bible there are many one page devotionals written by some amazing women (Annie Downs, Christine Caine and Bethany Hamilton just to name a few). I read through several of them and found them to be really appropriate for teens especially. I was also really grateful that they weren’t shallow and surface level devotionals – these are the real deal. They’re written so that teens and young women of all ages will find them to be encouraging and helpful. There are also “Women of the Bible” features, which I absolutely love. The writers even included the meaning of the woman’s name, like Anna (from Luke 2:36-38) whose name means “gracious” or Esther whose name means “star”. Perhaps my very favorite thing, however, is that the authors chose to highlight (in pink of course) certain verses throughout the Old and New Testaments calling them promises of God or verses worth remembering. These verses are a great start to helping your teen find verses to memorize.
I asked my fifteen year old daughter to look through the Bible and give me some feedback. She said, “This is the kind of Bible that a girl would use until it falls apart.” I think that means she likes it.
I was so very pleased with this Bible, not just because it’s pretty (although that helps), but for the extra content it provides to help a younger woman to learn how to study and meditate on God’s Word. This is a Bible and a devotional all in one and would be a wonderful gift to any young (or not so young) girl.

First off, the outline and design of this Bible is BEAUTIFUL! It’s a nice elegant look that covers the interests of the young 13 year olds and yet an 18 year old wouldn’t be ashamed to carry it.
As for the content, NIV is not my favorite translation, however the added content from the contributing women is very memorable and worth reading. Women such as Bethany Hamilton, Christian Caine, Annie Downs, Nicole Weider, Elsa Kok Colopy, Crystal Kirgiss, Bekah Hamrick Martin, Denise Van Eck, and more have given their time and wisdom into Daily Readings that are also contained within these pages.
One of my favorite features of this Bible are the Women of the Bible Character Studies. I’ve really enjoyed reading these in depth highlights of different women mentioned in the Bible, whether good character or bad, as I came across different passages. One other thing about this Bible that makes it unique is that the added content is plentiful, it’s actually one of fullest study Bibles that I’ve ever read.
So in overall, I really enjoyed reading what I did and look forward to reading much more! Even though this Bible will probably not replace my favorite ESV that has more highlighted verses than not, this will be the study Bible that I go to when attending Bible studies, doing private devotionals, etc. 5 out of 5 stars!
