I’m doing it because I heard the founders of She Reads Truth on a podcast and these ladies caught my ear in what they are trying to accomplish with their ministry. (The introductory remarks by Raechel Myers and I’m a guy and I’m reviewing this Bible. I’m doing it because I heard the founders of She Reads Truth on a podcast and these ladies caught my ear in what they are trying to accomplish with their ministry. (The introductory remarks by Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams are inspiring) I’m doing it because when this Bible was first released it flew off the shelves and was difficult to buy. I’m doing it because I was able to lay my hands on a few copies and gave it to our seniors as a parting graduating gift at the church I pastor and they loved it. What is so special about this Bible? Well let me tell you my thoughts.

First, I love how these ladies give a small primer on how to read the Bible. Every Bible needs this. We need to be reminded that we are not reading the Bible for reading sake but rather we are reading it to apply it and to become doers of it. Their approach to the Word of God is worshipful and life changing. They follow this up with a wonderful well thought gospel message. This is a great way to lead up to the Scriptures for the redeemed heart is fertile soul for the Word of God.

This Bible is built for studying the Bible. The writers have carefully looked at each book and have printed a key verse written with great style and beauty by one of 15 artist. This thing looks girly. The book introduction pages are color coded by genre. The layout gives you plenty of room to take notes. You have well written devotionals that are placed with the coinciding Scripture so that when you are reading through your Bible plan, you have devotional thoughts to bring you even more into the story. Your Bible plan is at the beginning of each chapter with “Going Deeper” passages at the side of each one. You have maps, charts, and timelines perfectly placed in the sections where you need them the most for personal Bible study. Yes, the tools in this Bible do nothing but enhance your reading of the Word of God.

Now I understand why these Bibles flew off of the shelves. Now I get why my wife has already taken over my copy of this Bible. All I can say is that I need to get me a Bible cover so that nobody can see the “She” on the outside cover and study on. The CSB is already coming out with more manly study Bibles like the Spurgeon Study Bible. Perhaps that one will make me grunt just a bit.

I was given a copy of this Bible in exchange for an honest review. I honestly loved it! ...more "

Johnny’s Quotes

“You aren’t what’s been done to you but what Jesus has done for you. You aren’t what you do but what Jesus has done. What you do doesn’t determine who you are. Rather, who you are in Christ determines what you do.”

“To live as God’s child is to know, at this very instant, that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more. All your efforts to win his affection are unnecessary. All your fears of losing his affection are needless. You can no more make him want you than you can convince him to abandon you. The adoption is irreversible. You have a place at his table.”

“Let us not think, I said, that we really have a choice between having a theology and not having one. We all have our theologies, for we all have a way of putting things together in our own minds that, if we are Christian, has a shape that arises from our knowledge of God and his Word. We might not be conscious of the process. Indeed, we frequently are not. But at the very least we will organize our perceptions into some sort of pattern that seems to make sense to us. The question at issue, then, is not whether we will have a theology but whether it will be a good or bad one, whether we will become conscious of our thinking processes or not, and, more particularly, whether we will learn to bring all of our thoughts into obedience to Christ or not. The biblical authors had a theology in this sense, after all, and so too did Jesus. He explained himself in terms of biblical revelation, understood his life and work in relation to God, and viewed all of life from this perspective. He had a
worldview that originated in the purposes and character of his Father and that informed everything he said and did.”
