First sentence: How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers!
Essentially this one is a psalter with a built-in journal. On the left hand side of each spread, the Scripture text appears--the Psalms in the Christian Standard Bible translation--and on the right side of each spread is a lined page for journaling. The paper has a slightly creamy color to it. (Though I've seen creamier pages in Bibles. But it definitely isn't white-white.) The font size is 12 point.
I read this one using the Book of Common Prayer's psalter schedule. I did read the last two or three days on one day so that I could get this one reviewed by the end of the month.
This one would be great for those who a) enjoy the CSB b) want to give the CSB a try c) want to deep dive into the Psalms d) are looking for a SUPER portable way to carry Scripture with them.
The CSB is not my favorite translation. I have read it through a handful of times, and, it's just not my favorite translation. I don't particularly care for how they translate the psalms. I like my psalms to "sing" to have a literary beauty and elegance. However, I was glad to spend time with this book. I would love it even more if it was in one of my favorite translations. The weight of the book, the font size, the lay out, everything is quite good.
Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have what I need.
He lets me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside quiet waters.
He renews my life;
he leads me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even when I go through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
as long as I live.
Psalms 100
Let the whole earth shout triumphantly to the Lord!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God.
He made us, and we are his—
his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever;
his faithfulness, through all generations.

With the new year on the horizon, I’ve found myself wanting to engage and be more present in the moment. This not only goes for interacting with people, but it also goes for giving my attention to God. The CSB Scripture Notebooks are here to help.
The CSB is the perfect translation for a Scripture notebook because it is highly readable and highly reliable. Because it stays as literal as possible to the original text, it makes it a lot easier to engage and interact with God’s Word in a notebook or journaling format.
The single-column text in paragraph format, combined with the full lined notes pages opposite of the biblical text allows you to mark up the passages while unobtrusively adding your own personal commentary. It’s elegant and simple, inviting you to read and write freely. So whether you’re writing on the text itself or writing alongside the text, these invite you to respond.
I received media copies of the CSB Scripture Notebook and this is my honest review.
