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.
I’m a huge fan of single column verse-by-verse layouts. My real gripe is that it is hard to find Bibles with this layout—especially that include references. Several publishers seem to finally be taking notice and more Bibles with this beautiful layout are starting to be created.
I love books for kids that have a Christian message. It is even better when these books are well done.
It’s no secret I’m a big fan of the Puritans. We all know about many of the Puritan men and their writings, but what about the women? When I saw this book title come across my screen I knew I had to check it out. If I’m honest, I hadn’t even considered Puritan women before so I’m really glad that Jenny-Lyn de Klerk put this book together!
I’ll state up front that I hadn’t been this excited for a Bible release in a long time. As I’ve written in other posts, I switched to the LSB as my main translation and this Bible was certainly a perk of making that switch. Many consider this the perfect layout and I am included in that number. There was a lot of hype surrounding the release of this Bible. Does it live up to it?
The world of rebinding is an exciting place to be right now! Many new rebinders are coming on the scene and the quality of work just keeps getting better and better. I had especially been admiring the work of ET Peterson with Rex Rebinds so I reached out to get a rebind so I could see it up close and personal.
There’s a must have resource for your Logos Library that’s on a deep sale for the next couple of days!
At this point I”m comfortable saying that it’s hard to go wrong with a Premier Collection Bible. You get a really, really nice Bible for a great price. The unique thing about the NKJV Personal Size Large Print Reference Bible is that the cross references appear at the end of each verse. This is a really unique way to do it, but it also is really helpful. No more searching to match up the verse with the right cross references. Instead, they’re at the end of each verse. It seems pretty useful!
Zondervan is blowing my mind with their Bibles! Truthfully they are making some of the most beautiful Bibles I have ever seen and this one is no exception. The Premier Collection NIV Personal Size Large Print Bible in green goatskin is nothing short of stunning! I believe Zondervan is truly raising the bar on elegant Bibles.
I’m teaming up with the fine folks at Westminster Books to bring you a review of the new ESV Heirloom Thinline in Horween Leather. I love partnering with Westminster because they offer great deals on books and ESV Bibles. I highly recommend checking them out and supporting a great Christian bookstore.
I was recently sent a hardcover double column verse-by-verse Legacy Standard Bible. While there’s not a lot of depth to go into on a hardcover, I do think they are vastly underrated.
Crossway has taken up the mantle to publish The Complete Works of John Owen. They’re starting with Volume 7, The Holy Spirit — The Helper. This collection will include 40 volumes and is going to be released over a six year span.
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!
