New Bible
targets youth
___Broadman & Holman Publishers has released a Bible designed in comic strip format to entice teenagers--ages 14 and up--to partake in God's word. "This is a Bible for kids who are losing interest in Sunday school or who have never set foot in a church," said Dee Ann Grand, manager for the publisher's children's products. "It's a Bible that will appeal to kids who are comic book lovers or who like to read graphic novels." It also might catch the playful eye of "big people," she suggested.
