LIVE: Youth Bible Catholic Edition is the first ever bible created by teens for teens. Based on the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), LIVE offers an interactive space not only to read, but to respond to the scripture in a new and dynamic way. LIVE contains content created by teens, as well as a space to reflect, draw, and interact with scripture. It includes thought provoking questions and activities that can help teens discover how God is involved in their lives, as well as how they can live out their faith at home, school, parish and community.
