First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to
Lifeway for sending me a copy of "She Reads Truth Bible" to
review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate
the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
After watching the
promotional videos for the She Reads Truth Bible, I became very excited to use
this resource. Seeing how many different
people came together to make this Bible a reality created in me an anticipation
to use the maps, read the text, memorize the 66 key verses and read the
devotionals.
The CSB She Reads Truth Bible in Gray
Linen is an amazing way to interact with the Word of God. There are several formats from which to choose:
Genuine Brown Leather, Navy Leathertouch, Poppy Linen Hard Cover, Gray Linen
Hardcover and Gray Hardcover. Each
contains the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) Version of the Scriptures, which I
personally find to be an understandable and powerful translation to read and
study.
While using the She
Reads Truth Bible, this is what I discovered: - The linen cover can be tough to remove from the box because of the
texture. It did become easier to
remove over time. The hard cover
edition is heavy. I personally
would’ve chosen the leather or leathertouch editions. When I love the feel of my Bible, I want
to use it more often.
- The font is beautiful and easy to read. The onion-skin pages are so thin, you
can seek the text on the back of the page you’re reading and this can be
distraction. The key verses and
corresponding key verse art is a beautiful feature. Personally, the visual will help me with
memorizing the key verses. And once
I memorize the key verses, I will have a clear book-by-book overview of
the entire Bible! Wow!!!
- I really liked the “how to read the Bible” helps that explain what
God’s Word is and how to approach, engage and apply Scripture. This help
encourages prayerful reading and active response to the Word. There is a clear presentation of the
Gospel in the introduction pages which may be useful when you share with
others.
- The introduction to each book is short and sweet, but offers
valuable insight into the book’s historical context, message and how it
relates to the rest of the Bible. Each
book has a color-coded stripe in the margin of the title page to indicate
the genre of the book. This
corresponds with a genre guide at the back of the Bible that identifies
and tells you how to approach reading that genre. There are charts and timelines sprinkled
throughout the Bible that help put the text into perspective. There are also engaging devotionals that
help with life application.
This is a wonderful
Bible that I highly recommend!
