Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.

One of my favorite things about Crossway’s Bibles is that they are constantly using interesting leather. The Bible I’m looking at today is no exception. It has a unique design with beautiful, natural cowhide leather that will develop tons of character over time! Let’s check it out.
Crossway is no stranger to making nice Bibles! Their new New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs is no exception. Today I’m reviewing both the black genuine leather edition and the TruTone Chestnut edition. I can easily say that both are excellent editions and you won’t go wrong with either one.
I’m a heavy CSB user. Our church uses it and so I frequently preach, teach, and study from it. That being said, I get really excited when cool new CSB editions arrive. Before the Verse-by-Verse came out, my favorite was the Single Column Personal Size. That’s why I’m pumped that they’ve updated it to the 2020 text and slapped an exciting new leather around it! Let’s check it out!
I love seeing more premium CSB’s arriving on the scene. The Bible I’m reviewing today certainly is interesting! It seems to be a blend of two previous CSB’s. The question is, “did they do it right?” The CSB Handcrafted Pastor’s Bible Verse-by-Verse seems to be a blend of the Handcrafted Verse-by-Verse and the former Single Column Pastor’s Bible.
I think Cambridge Bibles are some of the finest quality Bibles out there. They also make some unique editions and have a really loyal following. I’m excited to review the Cambridge ESV Diadem today in hardcover. I’ll be reviewing editions both with and without the Apocrypha. The Diadem is highly anticipated as many people have been pleading for a Bible with the same layout as the Pitt Minion and Wide Margin, but at a size in between the two. Cambridge has listened and answered with the Diadem.
Zondervan keeps knocking it out of the park with their newly released Bibles. The NASB ‘95 Classic Reference Bible is no exception. This is a beautiful Bible with some unique features. It’s one of those Bibles that is not quite Premier Collection, but is pretty stinkin’ close! What I love about that is that it means that it has a premium feel with a less-than-premium price tag! Let’s check it out.
Thomas Nelson has released a new series of Bibles called The Maclaren Series. This new series is actually an old series that has been rebranded. They used to have what they called NKJV and KJV Preaching Bibles, however, that sounds really specific. Obviously, they want to move these Bibles and labeling a Bible as a preaching Bible may cause someone to immediately pass on a Bible because they don’t preach. Just as I said in my reviews of the Preaching Bibles though, these are great Bibles and are certainly useful to many people besides preachers.
It’s a joy for me to once again be partnering with my friends at Westminster Books to bring you an exclusive review of the ESV Reader’s Bible, Six-Volume Set: with Chapter and Verse Numbers in Goatskin Over Board with a Walnut Slipcase. This review wouldn’t be possible without the aid of my friends at Westminster Books. I highly recommend you use them for your book and Bible needs.
When I heard about the Sovereign Collection from Thomas Nelson, just the name excited me. I had no idea what it was really, but knew I wanted to check it out. When I received my copy of the Sovereign Collection KJV Personal Size Reference Bible, I was blown away. I didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t what showed up. This KJV is a beautiful edition in an excellent size and format. I’m reviewing the black genuine leather Bible. Let’s talk about it…
When it comes to portable Bibles, I think Cambridge lays claim to making the best editions on the market. I love their single-column Clarion, which I reviewed here, but I wondered what it would be like to go even more portable. I knew I needed to check out their Pitt Minion.
I’m reviewing the Premier Edition of The MacArthur Study Bible, which means I will pay attention to both the construction of the Bible as well as the content. I’m also reviewing the New American Standard translation of this Bible. When you think of Dr. MacArthur, you think of the NASB. This is one of the nicest Study Bibles I’ve ever owned. Thomas Nelson has created an incredible product that anyone would prize to have on their shelf. Having a previous version of this Study Bible, I’ll also compare some of the features between the older and newer edition and explore whether the new edition is worth the upgrade…
Thanks to Zondervan, the New American Standard Bible has made a strong come back. They have created several new offerings as well as having more in the works. The NASB is a great, literal translation of the Bible and it has been great for a company to pick it up and start offering new Bibles.
