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.

Can I be honest with you? I think Study Bibles are hard to review and are rarely worth the effort it takes to review them. Wow… I can’t believe I actually wrote that. That being said, The Grace and Truth Study Bible from Zondervan is absolutely incredible. It is the reason I keep reviewing Study Bibles. In fact, it has made it into my top two Study Bibles and I find it an incredibly valuable resource.
I have been really excited about this Bible for a long time. If I’m honest with you, the New International Version isn’t even in my top five translation wise, but this is a study Bible and the value in study Bibles are the notes. This is also a premium Bible and I can’t believe what Zondervan has done with this thing! You’ve got a blue Bible with a red liner and a semi-yapp. I saw it online and was like, “Man, I’ve got to see this thing for myself!” Not only that, Dr. Albert Mohler, the president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary—my alma mater—is the general editor. To say I’m excited about getting to review this Bible is an understatement! I thought it looked great online, but it has blown me away in person.
Books take on different qualities. Some are enjoyable. Others are helpful. Rarely though, one comes along that seems very important. The Gathering Storm by R. Albert Mohler Jr. is one such book. It is timely and serves as a word of warning for the church. We would do well to take heed.
As a graduate of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, I consider Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. (our seminary president) a very wise man. I always appreciate his application of a biblical worldview to current events on his podcast called The Briefing and I take the opportunities I can to glean from his wisdom in the things he writes. That’s why I was excited to have the opportunity to review his new commentary Acts 13-28 For You from The Good Book Company.
