Three Questions to Ask Yourself for Selecting a Bible:
The most important factor in selecting the right Bible is to learn what you want and need. To accomplish this, we recommend you ask the following "qualifying" questions. They're designed to uncover what you are looking for, even when you may not know yourself. The three basic questions are who , how , and what . We hope this simple guide will help you choose the perfect Bible for your spiritual needs.
QUESTION #1
Who is the Bible for?
If the Bible is for a child under the age of twelve, our Zonderkidz products are a great recommendation. Click here to find out more about our Zonderkidz Bible products. If the Bible is for a teen, see our teen and young adult Bibles. Zondervan's children's Bibles and teen and young adult Bibles have been designed specifically for a certain age category, which helps you narrow down the choices and find the best Bible. If the Bible you are looking for is for an adult, you'll receive further instructions as you answer questions 2 and 3 below.
QUESTION #2
How will the Bible be used?
If you're buying the Bible as a gift, try to imagine how the person receiving the Bible will use it.
If you're looking for a Bible to help with biblical studies, please see our Zondervan Study Bibles .
If you're looking for a Bible for personal use or daily devotions, please take a look at our Zondervan Devotional Bibles .
If you're looking for a Bible to take to school, to church, or traveling, see our Zondervan text and reference Bibles.
If you're looking for a unique Bible, such as a parallel Bible, family Bible, or electronic Bible, please visit our main Zondervan Bibles page.
QUESTION #3
What is your translation preference?
Knowing this will help you narrow down your choices quite a bit, especially after you have answered the first two questions.
If you're not sure what translation you want or if you wish to know more about a specific translation, please visit the translations page for further information on most of the translations available today and how they compare with one another.
If you know what translation you want, look for the translation in the Bible category you have been directed to above.
That's it!
Knowing the answers to these three simple questions will help you speed up your search for the perfect Bible.
