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.
All in bible review
It’s always exciting to get review a brand new Bible. That makes the reviewing the Heirloom Alpha from Crossway especially exciting. It’s a Bible we’ve never seen before so everyone is curious about it. Let’s not waste anymore time and jump right in.
I never saw it coming, but I’ve become a big fan of thinline Bibles. Tyndale actually produces one of my favorites with their Large Print Thinline Reference. I was super excited to find out it was coming out in Olive Green and I knew I had to check it out.
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.
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!
The Christian Standard Bible is a translation that I’m really excited to see release in new editions. I like the translation a lot, but they seem to be a bit slow in putting new things out and I want more. They have recently released two new thinline editions in black genuine leather. One with references and one without. I’ll be look at both in this review.
I’m a huge fan of Scripture Notebooks. I have found their possibilities to be endless and I enjoy using them for just about everything. As a lover of premium Bibles, I rarely find myself wanting to mark in a Bible. That’s where Scripture Notebooks are so brilliant. They are portable and the price is right. You can buy one, mark it up, and buy another. They are also really well made!
The Thompson Chain-Reference Bible is something I’ve heard a lot about, but had little familiarity with. I’m diving in to bring you a review of the newly revised and updated edition of the NIV version of this legendary Bible. I’m reviewing the hardcover version.
If we’re honest, it’s been past time for men to step up in the church. God created men to lead and for far too long we have shunned that role. Good leadership starts with knowing and following God, which is why I’m excited to talk about the new ESV Men’s Study Bible from Crossway.
Brace yourself. This is another review where I will start with page edges. Only recently have I started doing this, but Bible manufacturers keep forcing me to do it. I actually wanted to review this Bible because of the page edges… oh… and it’s blue. I’m a sucker for blue Bibles.
At this point, I’ve been blessed to handle a lot of rebinds, but I may be most impressed by the one I’m about to share. This isn’t just a rebind. It’s a complete transformation! I asked Neil McCauley at Resurrection Rebinding to take my hardcover LSB Wide Margin and give it the premium treatment. The results are stunning and I can’t believe it’s the same Bible! Let’s take a closer look at this total transformation.
I’m not one to write in nicer Bibles, but the ESV Wide Margin Reference Bible just begs to be written in. This may be the first nie ESV that I write in and I’m pretty excited about it. Another interesting feature to notice right out of the gate is that this is one of the few ESVs that has the words of Christ in red. Let’s take a closer look at this unique ESV.
I’m going to shoot you straight. I’ve still not been won over by the NASB 2020. That being said, I’m open to giving it more of a chance as some really nice editions are being released. One such edition is from Zondervan. It is the first NASB 2020 to appear in the Premier Collection and it is a thinline in brown goatskin. It is a stunner! Keep reading to see what I mean.
