The Bible is the most influential book in history and century after century it remains a best seller.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But teachings teenagers about the Bible isn't always easy. Over the years it has become a growing challenge for parents, teachers and catechists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now there's a digital game to make it all easier for the youth to get involved and learn about the Bible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n'Games are actually a form of communication. If you think about it, a lot of the things we learned as a kid, came through games.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That's where this app comes in. It's called 'Build your Bible.' Users are asked a series of questions about the Bible. The more correct answers, the more Bible books that can be added to one's account.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n'We made it a point to present a game and not a study program because, we didn't want to risk losing about 90 percent of our youth. So this was our main concern.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n'Nowadays, our youths don't have a relationship with the Sacred Scriptures. Over 40 percent of youngsters don't read the Bible and have never even read a Biblical text. They're not interested and they find it irrelevant in their lives.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
So to change that, this app was developed for pre teens and teens. It was developed by the American Bible Society and the Ramon Pan\u00e9 Foundation. The mission is clear:\u00a0<\/p>\n
MARIO J. PAREDES
\nDirector of Catholic Ministries Department, American Bible Society
\n'We simply cannot afford the luxury of having our youths disregard the culture and teachings of the Bible. A way to prevent this from happening is by developing these type of apps and games that will lead teenagers to the Word of God.\u00e2?\u009d \u00a0<\/p>\n
The app, Build Your Bible, is available in English and Spanish and it's completely free.\u00a0<\/p>\n
