My Review: I love Study Bibles and the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is one of my favorite versions of the Holy Bible, so I am extra excited to have the opportunity o review the CSB Women's Study Bible! The Bible I received to review is a hardcover with a beautiful floral print. It's a bit heavy, but perfect for serious study; the pages will stay open as you make notes in a journal or whatever you prefer. A table or desk selected for regular Bible Study would be wonderful for this Bible, a notebook/journal, and any other learning tools you need. 

The inside of the Bible is even better than the outside! Of course, the Scripture, both Old and New Testaments are the most important, but I do love the maps, charts, photos, biographies, study notes, timelines, concordance, features, and more. It has a 9.5 point text that is comfortable to read. 

My personal disappointments are that this Bible is not Red Letter text and that the margins are too small for writing notes. But, there are a ton of notes already provided, and you can use colored pencils or highlighters to mark a verse or passage that has a special meaning for you. Overall, I highly recommend this Bible.

MY REVIEW of the brown leathersoft version of the NKJV Enduring Word Study Bible edited by David Guzik. Students of Scripture will appreciate the introduction at the beginning of the each book, and the insights brought by the commentary throughout each chapter. Guzik's Pastoral Notes bring application to bring an even greater understanding. There's an excellent Concordance and maps at the back to help. The print is easy to read, including the commentary in a slightly smaller size. Great for yourself or as a gift.

Peace of God Bible

The Peace of God Bible invites you to experience peace with God. The story of the Bible is the story of peace—peace with God and with one another. But peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm or ease. It is a way of experiencing life as we were always meant to—in relationship with our Creator and with each other. We can recover a completeness that was once lost but is restored in the gospel.

                      Features include:

• Book introductions to help reveal the part peace plays
• 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you
• 365 peace notes offering short, powerful insights to help you understand more deeply the wholeness you have in Christ 
• Topical indexes to help you study how God's peace can shape different relationships 
• Articles explore what the peace of God is, how to find or recover it, and how to experience eternal salvation because of what God has done for you 
• Concise concordance and index of features 
• End-of-page translators’ notes and cross-references

• Line-matched, double-column typesetting

• Clear and readable 9.5-point NKJV Comfort Print®

 

MY REVIEW: In a world that sometimes seems overwhelming with chaos and turmoil, we all seek peace to calm our fears and a place of refuge to regain strength. Jeremiah Johnston, PhD., has edited a Bible that includes key verses, as well as insights, articles, indexes, notes, and devotionals that will guide you to the peace to be found in Jesus Christ. Experience God's Shalom throughout the Bible. 

The soft two-toned brown cover is suitable for anyone that looks and feels wonderful. The Bible is the New King James Version (NKJV) which many people enjoy reading. The print is comfortable to read with beautiful maps and an excellent concordance to help broaden your knowledge. I recommend it.

MY REVIEW: I love this Bible! If you are searching for a Bible for daily reading, this is a wonderful choice. It's already divided into Weeks and Days if you prefer to follow a 5-Day guided plan, but it's not a distraction if you prefer to use your own schedule. By the way, you don't have to start with January 1, but use your first day as Day 1, Week1 (in case you think it's too late to begin a yearly Read Thru the Bible plan.

One of my favorite options in a Bible is wide margins. This provides room for your notes, but the print is still easy to read. Plus, this Bible is not too heavy or awkward to hold. Other things I love is an extensive concordance, maps, and the summaries, takeaways, and applications to your life. There is also book summaries for each book using a "Who, What, When, Where, and Why" format. The Christian Standard Bible also captures the original meaning of Scripture without sacrificing clarity. It's a hard cover Bible and I love the feel of the cover. Get this for yourself or as a gift!

LIFE IN CHRIST Bible

God has a purpose for your life in this moment. You have a part to play in what He is doing in the world. But knowing why you are here starts with knowing who God says you are. The Life in Christ Bible invites you to embrace your identity and purpose as you.

Order your copy of The Life in Christ Bible today!

 

• Discover why you matter-not because of anything you do, but because you are made in the image of God.
• Explore how the gospel of Jesus Christ makes you a new person.
• Learn how who God says you are changes how you think, speak, work, and move through the world.

REVIEW: The NKJV Life in Christ Bible is an average-sized Bible that is packed with information to bring added clarity with maps, a topical index, charts and tables, "30 Days of Getting to Know God," "30 Days of Getting to Know Jesus," and the words of Jesus are written in red. I saw a description given on one site: "Discover who God says you are—and who Christ makes you to be—from the pages of Scripture." I love that! I also loved the "My Identity In..." sections. These are available throughout this Bible, but also as part of each chapter info section.

As a Pro and Con opinion, I would like more note-taking space. HOWEVER, if additional space was included, the Bible would weigh more and be more awkward for handling to read. Spiral-bound notebooks are inexpensive, so that works well. And there is room to write less-detailed notes. I do recommend the Bible and there are choices of covers available.

MY REVIEW: My review copy of the Encountering God Study Bible is the Black Leathersoft one with a flexible cover and easy to hold in one hand to read. I love that the words of Jesus are written in red and that the print is easy to read. The Word Studies and Encounter Notes are fantastic; they are written by members of the Blackaby family. Since they are included on the pages of Scripture they bring clarity to what is being read. The Concordance, Timeline, Harmony of the Gospels, and Maps at the back are a valuable addition.

The minor negative for me is that the NKJV is not my favorite translation, but there are notes included at the bottom that useful. The lack of space to write notes by the Scripture is the only thing that would make me hesitate to purchase. But, a separate notebook for writing will work for people who like to make notes as they study. Bottom line: I definitely recommend the Encountering God Study Bible.

CSB Life Counsel Bible

 

Have you ever felt stressed, or been anxious, or experienced grief? Have you ever wanted to know how to help a loved one through addiction, or marital conflict, or parenting challenges? I'm really excited to share with you an amazing new biblical counseling resource created in partnership with Holman Bibles and New Growth Press.

The Life Counsel Bible provides practical wisdom for all, equipping readers with biblical truth and counsel on a wide range of topics and tough life issues. With over 150+ articles, this Bible is full of useful tools and resources for life application and discipleship. It’s great for couples, parents, ministry leaders, and anyone who has ever struggled with tough life issues. Check out lifecounselbible.com today to see a full list of articles and order your copy!!

The CSB Life Counsel Bible features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible. The Bible’s original meaning is captured without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message.

MY REVIEW: Do you have questions about problems that come up in our lives, especially in a world that is rapidly changing? Sometimes you simply aren't sure who to turn to or whom you feel comfortable discussing private concerns with. The tremendous range of topics included in this Bible can lead you to beneficial Scripture to encourage you and help articulate what you may not be able to put into words. (I know I sometimes get feedback that clearly shows that my words were not truly heard. I am guilty myself of formulating a response instead of focusing on what another is telling me.) I was truly astonished at the wide range of topics!

But... there's more. Word studies, a great concordance, maps, and room to write and make notes in the margins are a great addition. The print is a bit small for me, but my vision is getting worse. I believe it would be comfortable for most people. I highly recommend you get this Bible for your personal library.

Giveaway: $10 Amazon giftcard!

REVIEW: If you are looking for a good Bible to read, this may be the one for you, especially if you like to take notes in the margin! I do love the extra room beside the Scriptures to write your own thoughts or notes from a sermon. The font is comfortable to read and the cover is soft and supple to hold as you read. The Christian Standard Bible is also one of my favorite translations. The maps, concordance, and Bible Reading Plan are also convenient additions.

As a personal preference, the bright yellow (marigold) cover isn't my first choice, but it may well be the first thing that other women find to be appealing. It is like a ray of sunshine among my other books and reflects the hope we find inside the cover. I also prefer a study Bible, but this is a more comfortable Bible to carry to church or a Bible study group. Overall, I am well pleased with this Bible and will suggest it to others.

Roar Like a Lion - Levi Lusko

 

Roar Like a Lion by Levi Lusko (with Tama Fortner) is a children's devotional suitable for kids 6-10 years old. This sturdy, hard-cover book is a 90 day devotional that helps kids who are facing fears and challenges with school, peer pressure, grief, bullying, etc. or just to build faith to face the future strong as a lion.

The Bible stories, scripture and related stories, actions (Get Ready to Roar!), and hidden anchors, and brightly beautiful illustrations by Catherine Pearson, this book is sure to delight your elementary-age kids while also building and strengthening their faith in God. The contents of this book can also open more intimate conversations with the child's caregivers as well as conversations with God (through prayer). Young kids are not mature enough to process everything that impacts their lives and I see this as a helpful addition in learning how to cope with disappointments and fears.

The 6-year-olds in my family do not read well enough to use this book on their own, but I look forward to sharing it with my great-grandkids by reading it to them during their overnight visits. As they get older and reading skills improve, this book will be a familiar source. Of course, older kids can read it themselves, but I still think adult participation is useful and a special bonding experience.  

I give "Roar Like a Lion" 5 stars and recommend it as an excellent choice for a child. ORDER NOW and give it to a child now... or save it for a Christmas or New Year's gift.

GIVEAWAY! You can also ENTER TO WIN a physical copy of Roar Like a Lion, courtesy of Thomas Nelson & Momentum Influencers Network. Leave a comment with #roarlikealion on this blog or the social media platform I've posted this review. Deadline to Enter is September 27, 2021. USA only.
