A Bible Aimed At Millennials

I had to read this article twice just to make sure it was serious. A 20-year-old college student who had just become a Christian had decided to plunge into scripture, ok, so far, so good. Here's what made me cross my eyes and exclaim out loud, WHAAT? The following, is the student's description of what he saw when he opened his Bible and why he didn't want to read it. "The text was small and serious-looking, each line corralled inside a densely packed, numbered columns devoid of imagery- like citations at the end of a biology textbook. Inside, the pages were toilet paper thin. Outside, the cover was solid black and intimidating." I forgot to mention the college he was attending, none there than, The University of Southern California. I thought you had to be pretty smart to gain admission there. The rest of the article describes how he designed a Bible for millennials and has made a profitable business out of it. I wonder if he would be ok with THE LARGE PRINT BIBLE edition with lots of pictures in it and a cover in some pastel colors, maybe.
