Jesus said, ‘let him who has ears, let him hear’ (Matt 11:15). God’s Word is the most important thing anyone will ever hear, as it has the power to change the trajectory of someone’s life for all eternity. Yet hearing involves understanding, and with biblical literacy declining Australia-wide, Bible Society Australia has produced a Youth Bible with the express purpose of removing any obstacles to genuine understanding.

The 'Read This' Bible includes the appropriate tools and information to equip any new or continuing young believer to interact with God’s word. It also provides basic overviews of key areas of Christian belief and church life in order that a young believer might have the confidence to integrate into their local Christian community.

The Youth Bible is written by a team of male and female theologians and ministers with experience in Youth ministry across Australia. Our prayer is that this Bible will prove a valuable resource in equipping young people on their faith journey, that they might grow in understanding and love of the Lord Jesus Christ and live fruitful lives of discipleship for the glory of his name.
