My Thoughts:
There are several features about this Bible I love and some of them are unique in this style of Bible.
1. There are twelve blank calendars to utilize. Each calendar takes up two full pages. What is wonderful about this is because the calendars are blank in regards to the days, you can begin using them at any month. For example, if you receive this Bible in the month of November, you can begin creating a calendar for the month of November 2021 and proceed forward. A great idea to use this calendar is not just for special events but to keep track of daily Bible readings. In addition, these pages are a thick cream color with flower borders. The pages are perfect for using pens and fine tip markers. I personally love love love this idea. I have not seen another Bible with a calendar.
2. After the twelve calendars, there are seven lined pages to write prayers. This section also has the same border flowers. This is also unique in the Bible-to have pages designated for prayers.
3. Early in the Bible, and before the OT begins, there is a page stating, “Welcome to the Radiant Virtues Bible!” The welcome page explains the purpose of the Bible. After the Bible verses from 1 Corinthians chapter 13:4, 13,
“This Bible offers you an opportunity to spend a year in God’s Word focusing on the virtues of faith, hope, and love.”
4. Then follows a “52-Week Guide” for Scripture readings on “faith,” “hope,” and “love” located throughout the Bible. These guides are devotionals.
5. Hundreds of verses are highlighted in the entire Bible. Blue for faith. Yellow for hope. Pink for love.
6. On pages 1229-1235, further Bible reading plans are give,. For example, “30 Days With Jesus.” This is also a unique feature.
7. There are 15 full-color glossy illustrated Bible verses with the ability to remove and share. These are located last in the Bible. This too is unique in a journaling Bible.
8. The preface shares the goals for the NIV, its history, translation, and Scripture texts.
Final Thoughts:
1. The pages with Scripture are matte. The pages are thin. The Scripture pages themselves are not adequate for highlighter or color pens. For me this is not a problem because I use #5 clicking pencils in all my Bibles.
2. The font is 8 point. But the font Comfort Print style helps to read it better. I do not like small print. I consider 8 point to be too small for me. I prefer at least 9.
3. At the bottom of the Bible pages are a few explanatory notes. This Bible is not a reference Bible. This Bible is not a study type Bible. It is perfectly adequate for Bible reading and journaling.
4. Most of the Scripture art in the Bible are already illustrated in color. There are a few that are blank of color and can be colored.
5. The journaling space for writing is similar with other journaling Bibles. Lines are located to the left and right of each Scripture page.
I love this Bible! It is a fantastic choice in Bible journaling and reading!

There are so many lovely features about this beautiful word bible, and some quite unique that I haven't come across before.
I was pleasantly surprised by the fact there is calendars included at the front!
They are blank as well, so you can start them at any time. I have found this to be ideal to help me keep track of my daily bible reading and helps hold me accountable.
Ideal for me, and again unique as this is the first bible that I have seen that has a calendar.
There are also lined pages to write your notes, word for the year and / or prayers.
As a note taking journal girl, this is something I greatly appreciate and will be a well used section for me.
There is a gift set where you can get this bible and a journal / notebook. I love however that they still thought to add blank pages in the bible itself.
I am new to using journaling bibles, I love that there is verse art and colouring pages which help inspire me to get creative.
One thing I might add is the print size being 8. I usually do not and cannot read this size for a long time due to my vision. However I will note that the font being comfort print does make it a bit easier for me, so props for that.
There is a 52 week guide to help you travel through the bible, with verses highlighted throughout so you can see passages relating to faith hope and love ❤️ the 3 virtues from 1 Corinthians 13.
With each week, there are activities for you to do to help get further engaged with the word: devotional readings, prayers, colouring artwork, and also journaling prompts. With the notebook included as part of the gift set edition, this is a great way for me to get into applying the devotionals and prayer points to my life and journal what God is teaching me.
Overall, so many features which make this a unique journaling/ devotional bible. Highly reccomend.
*Bible kindly sent by the publishers, however all opinions stated are my own.

I love the style of this journaling Bible. It enables note taking in the margins, lots of word art, a reading plan, and so much more. I really appreciate the binding theme of faith, hope, and love throughout this book. Lovely book, thoughtful gift.

Such a beautiful Bible. You will be sure to find delight in your daily time with God within its pages. This Bible is packed to the brim with extras to enhance your walk.
The theme is faith, hope, and love. Within these pages, highlighted verses give an emphasis to reflect on these throughout. You will find weekly devotions, journaling prompts, beautifully illustrated artwork, and uncolored artwork where you can add your personal touch.
I was unsure how I would fare with the comfort print 8-point size as I usually prefer large print. But to my surprise, it indeed was comfortable print, and I did exceptionally well reading.
I thoroughly enjoyed the uncolored illustrated artwork to which I can add my touch. The perforated illustrated bookmarks in the back were convenient. I adored the larger shareable full-color artwork on thicker paper with perforated edges that I can send to a friend or hang with a magnet on my refrigerator.
I highly recommend this Bible as it will be sure to enhance your daily devotions with God as it did mine. #BibleGatewayPartner.
