I have a few of them actually. I don't personally like the ones that skip over the "bad" things in the Bible, just as when I teach I teach what the Bible says (both good and bad) about heroes in the Bible like Moses, David, Solomon, Saul, etc. We do have a regular practice as giving the youth a "real bible" when they're about 12. American kids just don't have the attention span (usually) for anything without pictures, especially in this day and age. My son's sits on his bookshelf right in between Moby Dick and his encyclopedias. He'd rather play board games than read though.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
