The NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible starts out by providing some vital truths all Christians should stand on and believe. It talks about God’s love, our sin, Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection, and what it means to accept Jesus as your savior. This is at the very beginning, helping readers to know these truths so that as they read the Bible they will have these truths to hold onto and guide them throughout God’s Word.

Some other ways the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible encourages women to love God greatly is with the following features throughout it’s pages:

• SOAP Bible Study Method
• Memory verses
• Book introductions
• Bible reading plans
• Topical reading plans
• Testimonies from women around the world
• Information about the spread of the gospel in various countries and how to pray for them
• Reflection and challenging questions to get readers thinking more deeply about the scriptures
• Encouraging devotions
• Maps and timelines
• Mentor letters from seasoned women of faith
• Profiles and testimonies of various faith heroes throughout history
• Verses in the margins that focus on God’s heart

What is the SOAP Bible Study Method?

One of the most unique features of the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible is that it puts emphasis on using the SOAP Bible Study Method. This is a very popular method of studying scripture that is designed to help Bible readers dive in deeper to discover the meaning of what they are reading.

SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. In the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible there is not only a full explanation of the method, but each book of the Bible includes a special reading plan after the overview. The reading plan includes a chapter-by-chapter plan to guide you through the whole verse, but also offers a suggested focus verse to use with the SOAP Method.

Using these reading plans is a wonderful way to learn how to read and study the Bible because you are given reading plans to read through the whole Bible, each book, and various topics, but also in tandem given a Bible study plan as you read it. You are also encouraged and taught a method of incorporating prayer into your Bible reading and studying. This encourages readers to go beyond reading and begin learning and applying what it says. This method encourages young women to truly engage with God’s Word and grow in their love, understanding, and relationship with Him.

One thing I have been teaching my kiddo is that when you have learned one method of doing something well, you then are better equipped and have a better understanding of how to do it well in a different way. Learning a preformed method of studying the Bible that has been helpful and successful for others can give you a better grasp on how to read and study the Bible more deeply in other ways. Even if the SOAP Method is not what you want to stick with it is a wonderful teaching tool to help you understand how to study scripture more deeply and prayerfully and help you to grow in your relationship with God.

Who is the NET Bible translation designed for?

The NET Bible translation is acclaimed to be the newest English translation of the Bible. This is a new translation to me personally, but I am excited about a couple of particular highlights this translations is unique for. While the NET was being translated, the editing was actually made public worldwide for people all over the world to participate in the process by reviewing and offering questions and comments about each draft before it was finally published in 2005. It was then given another update in 2019.

Bible scholars, ministers, and laypersons around the world helped in the editing process helping the NET translation to become not only the newest, but claiming to be the most accurate because of all of the feedback that helped it to become what it is. While the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible does not have commentary notes included outside of the many types of articles and testimonies, there are more than 60,000 notes available online and in many other print copies of the NET Bible. Many of these notes document the challenges of translating into English which helps readers to better understand translation decisions and alternative word choices. The NET is also much looser on copyright, desiring to make it easier for people to use and share it in a variety of ways.

Can the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible help young women read and understand the Bible?

I personally find learning about various translations incredibly valuable when choosing a Bible. It is important to know who translated it, why they translated it, and what methods and sources they used. This can help Bible readers determine if a particular translation is right for them, if it is better as a companion or a primary Bible translation, or if it is not what they are looking for at all.

The NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible is a wonderful translation for women at any stage in their Bible reading experience and can be truly valuable as a companion or a primary. It is easy to read and understand, and has a great balance between thought-for-thought and word-for-word. This Bible would definitely be a helpful translation, and the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible a helpful Bible for young women to better understand the Bible.

With the combination of the NET translation, the many wonderful resources and features, and the gorgeous layout and wide margins, the NET Young Women Love God Greatly Bible is a Bible that helps young women to discover and dive into new and deeper perspective throughout scripture. This will help them learn and understand God’s Word better and grow in their faith and relationship with the Lord.
