Special thanks to the Blythe Daniel Agency and Thomas Nelson Bibles for sending me a copy of Journal the Word Bible to review and one to share!
I have been enjoying Bible journaling for well over a year now and the pages are starting to get filled with my illustrations. There are so many different journaling and note taking Bibles out there, that it can be overwhelming.
The thing that makes journaling Bibles different from the Bible you grew up with is the margins are wide and some are ruled, which allows for drawing or writing notes. The Journal the Word Bible comes in KJV and NKJV translations. I selected the NKJV version to review since I feel like it is a little easier to understand, although many of the verses I have committed to memory is from the KJV translation.
I enjoy my journaling Bible because it helps me to focus on the passage, especially when I am trying to decide how to illustrate it. It is also good for those who like to take notes on a sermon or during a Bible study, eliminating the need for a separate notebook. It is not a study Bible, as it has limited footnotes at the bottom of the pages.
Features of the Journal the Word Bible:
- Lay-flat binding - great for getting into the inner crease
- Ruled lines in the extra wide margins
- Larger print
- Red-letter print
- Easy to read section headings
A journaling Bible is a great gift idea (Christmas is coming!) or you can save it to pass down as an heirloom with your personal thoughts and illustrations.
Would you keep the Bible or give it as a gift if you won?

I would keep this. Can one have too many Bibles? :)
ReplyDeleteI do not think so, Jennifer!
DeleteA student actually gave me a Bible like this in May, and I have yet to use it! I like that you said it allows you to focus on that specific passage. Maybe the coming breaks will be the perfect time for me to explore it:)
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope you get a chance to use it. You will love it!
DeleteI'm not sure! I love to collect Bibles, but this one would make such a nice gift!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! I like that this one is a larger print too!
DeleteWell, in all honesty, I'd probably keep it. I've really been wanting to have a Bible to journal in. Plus, I think it's time for me to move to large print. lol
ReplyDeleteThe large print is definitely a plus!
DeleteI would definitely keep it and what an impression it would be to my older girls. Reading, writing, and drawing. Enhancing and emphasizing what I'm reading and learning.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a blessing and a way to focus. Plus, you could pass it down to your girls one day.
DeleteI want to give this to my daughter for her 18th birthday! So I would give it as a gift! (I too would love to have one myself though!)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea!
DeleteI would give it as a gift to someone who has been wanting a Journaling bible for a while now, she just can not afford one.

ReplyDeleteI would have to keep this Bible , such a wonderful way to make notes and journal your thoughts. I was reading my Bible the other day and I have so many slips of paper that I journal on that it is making it sooo thick.
