How sweet the season is—a time of thanks and giving! Christian publisher, Thomas Nelson sent me, not one, but two, NKJV Journal the Word Bibles. One to keep, and one to give away. First, let me tell you how awesome this Bible is!
Every cream-colored page contains wide margins
of lightly ruled lines. You can either journal your thoughts or
illustrate the meditations of your heart.
I’m doing a little of both in mine, but mostly journaling. No more writing on the back of church bulletins or loose papers! Everything will be in one spot, ready for future reference by me, or the next generation.

The large-print Bible weighs a little over three
pounds so it may not be the choice for toting around town. But the
size is perfect for use at home. Reading is so much easier with the large print. The
wide pages offer plenty of room for writing. No more trying to scrunch words
into minuscule margins. If you write in your Bible, you know what I’m talking
about.

The Journal the Word Bible retails for
fifty dollars and comes in KJV and NKJV. It will make a wonderful gift and an
amazing heirloom.
I have my copy of this wonderful Bible. Who wants the other one? It is
a large-print, NKJV like mine.
All you have to do to get your name in the drawing is leave a comment below. Tell me, in 50 words or less, how the Bible affects your life. I’ll announce the winner on Nov. 26.

The Bible is my security. Once I outgrew my security blankets, which took me all the way into college, the Bible at times literally became that blanket. Sometimes sleeping with it under my pillow was all it took to find that peace Jesus promised once again. The truth of the Word is always there for comfort and peace and nothing is as precious as that!
ReplyDeleteYes! The comfort we receive from God's Word far outlasts our worldly "blankets," don't you agree? thanks for sharing.
DeleteOh I love journaling Bible's. I have been looking for one and this one sounds like it might be the perfect fit for me. God's word makes me secure and safe, knowing God has a plan for everything we encounter in life. No matter what the situation giving it to him is the answer.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jennifer. His Word assures us He is faithful and ever-present. Thanks for stopping by and sharing with us.
DeleteJohn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word (God) is where I place my hope. It is the foundation for my life, driving my decisions each day.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, Double T. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing.
DeleteThe very first bible I bought out of shame of not having one. I started to read it and with the help of our new pastor I became a believer. Even now going through cancer the bible has help me with peace and know He is in control.
ReplyDeleteStephani, thanks for sharing those precious thoughts with us. I can't imagine going through the trials of this world without Jesus. I'm praying for you as you continue to heal and strengthen.
DeleteThank you for the wonderful review. The Word-- ALL. My answers, my encouragement, my joy, my hope,my defense. ..the only word, a letter from my Father and Savior. I have been shopping for a bible like this, but did not want to online. This one is the one I have been looking for. If I win or not this will be on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You will love it. Make sure to check back on Nov. 26 because if your "name" is drawn, I'll not have any way to contact you. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing how much His love letter means to you. :)
DeleteJournaling, drawing, AND Large Print! Oh my. I love the feel of the Bible in my hands. There is nothing else like it. I am engulfed by the words that were fresh yesterday, are still fresh today and will be tomorrow. What an amazing Father we have.
ReplyDeleteHi, Cathy! You are right. There is nothing else like the Bible. It's amazing how alive it is, isn't it? Not everyone understands this precious gift. So happy to hear from you. This Bible would be great for a creative person like you.
DeleteThy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. This scripture scripture comes to life for me every night as I read and study my Bible. As I grow and mature in my faith, I learn daily to hide HIS word in my heart.ღ��
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you, Autumn! May the Lord continue to bless you and give you wisdom as you grow closer to Him.
Deleteawe thank you so much sweet lady!ღ
DeleteIve seen these, but could never afford it. What a cool idea to be able to take notes, write down your thoughts and for those in my family who are so creative, to doodle! What a treasure to have in a few years when it can be passed on down through the generations !! Such a great idea !! Blessings to whom ever receives such a gift
ReplyDeleteHi, Crystal. No matter what Bible you have, I encourage everyone to write in their Bibles, or at least a journal. Write down the passage you read and your reflections and prayers. It is a special way to "tell the next generation" about the amazing love and power of God.
