Before you go any farther, stop and read this.

If you’re already familiar with the Bible, then notice that NIV True Images^®: The Bible for Teen Girls is a little different than other Bibles. It still has all the books of the Bible and all of God’s words for you to read and meditate on. But it also has some notes that accompany the Bible text. To get an idea of what those notes are all about, read “An Invitation for You,” starting here. That will help you get the most out of True Images.

What if you’re not familiar with the Bible? What if you’re not even sure if you know God? First things first. Run, don’t walk, to here. There you’ll find the “Christianity 101.” It’s a short couple pages of info on how you can know God personally. Imagine that—God as your friend, father and savior!

If you’ve never owned a Bible before, you might feel a little intimidated by this big book. Try not to be. True Images is easy and fun to use. Keep reading to find out how to make the most of your time with this Bible.

Remember, there are lots of ways to read God’s Word. The more you read the Bible, the more comfortable you’ll become with it. Talk to other Christians about how they study the Bible. Chances are, they’ll have some great ideas for you. Now get started—there’s so much waiting for you in the pages ahead!
