Preface
Welcome to the NIV Youth Quest Study Bible, eBook Edition
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.
—Psalm 119:105
God’s Word
The text of the Bible itself is the most important feature of this book. God reveals himself to us through his Holy Word. The New International Version (NIV) is the most read, most trusted modern English translation.
Book Introductions
At the beginning of each book of the Bible, you will find helpful information answering questions like: Who wrote the book? What purpose did the author have in mind? What is the historical background? What are the main sections of the book? Time lines are also included.
Side-Column Notes
Because the Bible describes events that took place a long time ago, modern readers often have questions about the meaning of some parts of the Bible. There are about 4,000 questions and answers in the side column to help you better understand the Bible by explaining words or ideas that may not be clear. The answers sometimes include some historical information that the Bible doesn’t mention, and they often tell how modern Bible scholars interpret different passages.
Articles
There are about 100 articles scattered throughout this Bible that go into more depth to give answers to questions that young people often ask. These articles sometimes deal with difficult topics, and they often suggest that you speak to a parent, teacher, or minister about your own faith questions.
Maps
Small two-color maps are included at various points to help you see where the events took place. Several full-color maps are located in the back of the Bible to help you find some of the important places at different times in the Bible’s story.
Subject Index
This index will help you locate Bible passages that refer to important themes.
Becoming a Christian
Becoming a Christian (someone who follows Jesus Christ) is simple. You can find the verses listed by using the table of contents in the front of this Bible. Read the verses and talk to God right now, right where you are. He is always happy to listen.
A Admit
Admit honestly to God that you are a sinner and have not obeyed him.
Romans 3:23
Romans 6:23
1 John 1:9
B Believe
Believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son and died on the cross and became alive again. He died for your sins so you can be forgiven.
1 Corinthians 15:3–4
John 3:16
Acts 4:12
Romans 5:8
C Confess
Confess your faith in Jesus. Tell someone you know (like a pastor, parent, or other Christian). Then celebrate!
Romans 10:9–10
Romans 10:13
If you don’t already attend a church, try to find one. It is important to help you grow in your new life in Christ. On a regular basis try to read the Bible and pray as these things will also play a very important part in helping you get to know God better.
If you just decided to follow Jesus, we would love to hear from you! Write to:

Reading Plans
Of all the reasons people mention for not reading the Bible, simple discouragement ranks highest. The Bible’s length alone is imposing. More like a self-contained library than a book, it includes 66 different books, by several dozen authors. Little wonder people get confused and discouraged.
The three-course Reading Plan breaks the Bible into more manageable portions. If you’re new to the Bible, begin with Course 1, then proceed to Course 2, and finally—if you’re ambitious—tackle Course 3. Your understanding and appreciation for the Bible will gradually increase.
All three courses assign only one chapter a day, except in a few cases where the chapters are very short. The reading should take only about 10 minutes.
Course 1 Introduction to the Bible
Course 1 is a place to begin reading the Bible. These two-week reading courses take you quickly into passages every Christian should know. Of the 1,189 Bible chapters, why begin with these? First, they are frequently quoted or referred to elsewhere. Second, they are relatively easy to read and understand. Course 1 should whet your appetite for more.

Course 2: A Guided Tour of the Bible
Course 2 offers a kind of bird’s-eye view. The daily readings consist of 180 selected passages, including at least one chapter from each of the Bible’s 66 books. You can read both the chapter and its accompanying notes in 15 minutes per day.
With a few exceptions, the Biblical material appears in chronological order. You will read the psalms attributed to David as you read about David’s life. You will read the prophets along with their background history. Portions from the Gospels, too, are interspersed, giving a composite picture of Jesus’ life on earth; Paul’s letters are scattered throughout the record of Jesus’ life. This arrangement should help convey the Bible’s plot.
Since A Guided Tour of the Bible
is arranged in 180 separate readings, most people will find it convenient to read one designated passage each day, along with the notes. If you miss a few days, don’t worry. Just resume reading when you can.

Course 3: Every Word in the Bible
Course 3 takes you completely through the Bible, reading every word. Other Bible-reading plans allot only a year for this project, requiring that at least three chapters be read each day. But many readers find such a pace to be unrealistic and discouraging. For this reason, Course 3 assigns only one chapter a day. (Some short chapters have been combined, so occasionally you will read two brief chapters in a day.) In all, the reading plan works out evenly to a three-year total.
The Course 3 plan alternates between the Old Testament and New Testament. This mixing provides variety.
Time Commitment: Three Years
Goal: To read all the way through the Bible with understanding

Table of Weights and Measures
The figures of the table are calculated on the basis of a shekel equaling 11.5 grams, a cubit equaling 18 inches and an ephah equaling 22 liters. The quart referred to is either a dry quart (slightly larger than a liter) or a liquid quart (slightly smaller than a liter), whichever is applicable. The ton referred to in the footnotes is the American ton of 2,000 pounds.
This table is based upon the best available information, but it is not intended to be mathematically precise; like the measurement equivalents in the footnotes, it merely gives approximate amounts and distances. Weights and measures differed somewhat at various times and places in the ancient world. There is uncertainty particularly about the ephah and the bath; further discoveries may shed more light on these units of capacity.
