We are connected to everyone, all the time. We can know virtually anything, at any time, in just a few clicks. But can we know what God is saying to us that easily?
What would you do if you could text God all your questions, all your worries, all your doubts and fears? What if He was always online and would always answer you? Would you start typing right now?
Created by bestselling authors Michael and Hayley DiMarco, The TEXT Bible helps students, young adults, new believers—and anyone who doesn’t feel confident studying the Bible on their own—uncover God’s message to humanity.
Knowing who God is will give you answers to life’s big questions that you might not have even known you needed.
God Wants YOU…
- To know His character and His plans for the world.
- To see the truth about humanity.
- To understand the hope you have in Jesus.
- To begin a life-changing conversation with the Creator of the universe.
- To share what you discover in God’s Word with others.
The TEXT
God sent you a message. Find it in The TEXT. This Bible is designed for people who want to increase their connection with God through engagement with His Word. The TEXT introduces a new Bible study method with the acronym T-E-X-T:
- Talk to God;
- Encounter God and humanity in Scripture;
- eXamine your heart;
- Talk to others.
This memorable and easy-to-use Bible engagement technique is designed to help tweens, teens, and new Christians overcome the challenges faced in reading and studying Scripture. The technique will also help Christian readers, teachers, and leaders of any experience level interact with God’s message in a personal way.
