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’ve had a CSB Spurgeon Study Bible in hardcover for some time. I’m a huge Charles Spurgeon fan and I love that the CSB paired his notes and sermons with the text. I think it’s about time the Prince of Preachers received the Handcrafted—premium—treatment. So without further ado, here is my review of the CSB Handcrafted Spurgeon Study Bible.
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.
The CSB LIfe Connections Study Bible may be one of the best kept secrets in the CSB world. I’m not sure I’ve seen a review on it so I’m happy to get the opportunity to introduce you. This Bible should probably be the secret weapon of every small group and Bible study leader.
Holman has recently been firing on all cylinders with their new Handcrafted Collection. The Handcrafted Collection is the new name for the premium CSB Bibles. If a Bible has this label, you can expect to find it built with premium materials. One of their newest to this series is the Ancient Faith Study Bible. This Bible has been out for awhile in other bindings, but it is now receiving the VIP treatment from Holman.
I’ve increasingly become a fan of Scripture Notebooks. It seems every translation has released their own spin on these handy and affordable notebooks. I’ve used them for everything from sermon prep to group studies to not worry about messing up my Bible while reading it in bed. Their uses and applications truly seem endless.
Several months ago I reviewed a Bible rebind from Hill Bible Rebinding. I really liked their work, but also had some critiques. Hill Bible has since made some changes and they agreed to allow me to do a follow up review to check out the improvements. I sent Hill Bible a bonded leather CSB Verse-by-Verse and quite frankly the results are stunning. I’m excited to share it with you today.
I’ve become a big fan of verse-by-verse layouts. They are helpful for teaching, preaching, and I’ve even enjoyed them for my own quiet time reading. The CSB is a translation that I’ve come to enjoy immensely as well. My church uses it so I interact with it often. I even decided to do a six month read through of the whole thing. That being said, when excellent CSB editions come out, I try and jump on them. The CSB verse-by-verse Bible was one I was really excited about. I’ve used the goatskin edition, but I decided I wanted to check out the bonded leather edition because sometimes it’s nice to have an edition you’re not afraid to be a little rough with. Today I’m bringing you a review of the CSB Verse-by-Verse in brown bonded leather.
Holman has been cranking out quality editions of the CSB. I’ve been really impressed by their recent offerings and it is clear that they intend to be competitive in the Bible market. I’m really excited to share this highly portable edition with you today…
I recently discussed the merits of a Reader’s Bible. It truly is an enjoyable experience to get rid of the chapters, verse numbers, and footnotes and immerse yourself in the text for an enjoyable, undistracted reading experience. However, what I didn’t touch on is the way you can squeeze even more enjoyment out of the experience. That’s why I’m excited to share with you today about Holman’s new Christian Standard Bible Five-Volume Reader’s Bible.
Bible translations out there, but that does not mean there isn't a wealth of nice Bible options to choose from. While they still don't have premium Bible options like other translations, there are still very nice Bibles on the market. The one I will you show in this review is one of my favorites…
