Bible Study for Teens

If you have children, then you know you want to get them started off right with good habits that will help them mature into wise adults. One way to do that is to encourage them to spend a little bit of time every day in Bible Study. But with between classes, sports and homework after school, and the myriad other responsibilities and tasks that your teenagers must deal with, it can frankly be a little hard to find the needed time to devote to this useful activity. You can get some Bible study in easily, however, when you consider using an audio Bible. An audio Bible CD or an MP3 audio Bible will provide the means that will help enable your kids to grow spiritually.

Audio Bible CDs contain a dramatized version of the complete Bible or the New Testament on a single CD. MP3 technology is used to contain all of that text into one small disc. CDs are easy to listen to in a home CD or DVD player, or on a home computer. Also, CDs can be used in portable CD players and even in car stereo systems, so your kids can take the Word of God with them on their travels.

The MP3 audio Bible compresses the text of the Bible down so that it all fits into a tiny playback device no larger than a pack of chewing gum. You use an mp3 player with a set of ear buds or small headphones in order to hear the Bible. Because of their extreme popularity with youth, this format that the Bible can take makes it very inconspicuous, and its small size makes it easily transportable. You can do your audio Bible Study as you walk around campus, or while you do a workout.

There are even new podcast versions of Bible study that are appropriate for teens. A podcast is a recording that can be listened to on your computer, or downloaded onto your mp3 player to listen to at your convenience. There are podcasts that are under 10 minutes long that allow you to hear the whole New Testament if you listen for that long every day. Other portioned readings of the Bible are also available in podcast form, covering favorite Proverbs and Psalms.

The fabulous advantage to listening to podcasts and mp3 format material is that you have the ability to listen to the audio Bible at any time that it is convenient to you. You can fit it into little snippets of time that might be otherwise wasted. Now Bible Study for teens is much more possible, because when they have a free moment, God's Word is available to them in an audio Bible.
