As you probably know if you're shopping for them, kids and teens come with a lot of questions. At the same time, research shows younger generations are increasingly struggling with staying engaged and attentive while reading.
Bibles tailored to young people address these specific needs in creative ways — whether it's storybook Bibles for toddlers, beginner Bibles for elementary schoolers, or teen and student Bibles that speak to the unique challenges of that intense phase of life.
If you're on the hunt for the perfect graduation (or anytime) gift for the young people in your life, look no further. Here are some of my top picks and tips to start kids on a lifelong engagement with Scripture. |

May 8 — After less than two days of deliberations, the papal conclave in Rome has selected the new Pope: Robert Francis Prevost, who has chosen the name Leo XIV. Pope Leo XIV will be only the second pope from the Americas (after Francis) and the first from the United States. His first words as he greeted the crowd at St. Peter's were, "Peace be with all of you," and his speech focused on the theme of peace. (Vatican News) |
| May 8 — Ever feel like Bibles are too small? Mainz Cathedral in Germany is displaying the world's largest Bible page, measuring 5 x 7.2 meters (16.4 x 23.6 feet), to honor Johannes Gutenberg's 625th birthday. The page, which uses traditional letterpress printing, features the first chapter of John's Gospel. The exhibition also includes a reading corner and invites visitors to share favorite Bible passages. A cathedral concert on August 24 will conclude the event. (Christian Daily) |
| May 9 — The Australian Defence Force (ADF) launched a new edition of the NIV Bible, 20 years after the last release. Tailored for ADF personnel, it includes prayers for the Navy, Army, and Air Force. The launch featured historical military Bibles, including one that saved a soldier's life in WWI. The Bible Society Australia emphasized its role as a source of hope for service members. The edition also includes a foreword by former Governor-General David Hurley. (Christian Daily) |

Many factors hinder Christians from growing. Nor are these problems new. A reading of the Letter to the Hebrews reveals that arrested development was a reality many early Christians faced.
So how do we continue to grow as Christians — more particularly, as learners who follow Jesus?
I want to suggest five practices, habits, and disciplines that we can embrace to foster continuous growth of learning and knowledge. |
| In Luke 10, Jesus comes to his friend Martha's home and begins to teach those who gathered there. He brought a crowd with him, and Martha takes care of her guests while Mary, Martha's sister, sits at Jesus's feet and listens.
I used to think we should aim to be like Mary, only ever sitting at Jesus's feet and learning. Here's the problem with that idea. The work does still need to be done.
But I wonder: Are we more desperate to finish our work, or are we more desperate to find our way back to His feet? |
