Contents and background
The book's aim is to enable readers to grasp the meaning of Bible passages so that they can put their principles into practice. Roughly 33% of the book features "extrabiblical, supplementary content". It features summaries, diagrams, annotations on passages, contemplative articles, charts, and sidebars on key topics. The book contains biblical figures' life stories, highlighting the actionable insights drawn from their lives. The book's back cover says, "How many times have you read your Bible and asked: 'How can this possibly apply to my life, my job, my friendships, my marriage, my neighborhood, my family, my country? ... Why can't I understand what God is saying to me through His Word?" The Toronto Star writer Barry Henaut lauded the student version of the book, Student's Life Application Bible, saying the abridged annotations "really hit their target audience", "the layout and design are A-1", and "this is easily the best teen Bible reviewed".
