\"\"<\/a>In July I mentioned<\/a> that I was thinking about getting the ESV Journaling Bible ?<\/a>\u2122 because it would be helpful to put extra notes in my Bible to remind me of points that I might want to use when I’m teaching Revelation this year but I was debating getting it since I have so many Bibles (the picture to the left is of some of the Bibles that we have in our house) and I generally don’t read them because I usually read the Bible in Bibleworks<\/a> instead (which has just about every translation know to man — see for yourself<\/a>).
\nBut the Lord took the decision out of my hands, I was offered a Bible from a kind soul at Crossway<\/s> Stephen the webmaster at Good News \/ Crossway with no strings attached.
\nI received it a couple weeks ago and was quite pleased with it. It has several nice features:
\n1. It looks just like a Moleskine<\/a> (which, it turns out, was the idea<\/a>), it has an elastic strap to keep it closed and the same hardback cover that you get with a Moleskine. I liked it the moment I saw it because I love Moleskines. Here’s a picture of mine:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n2. I liked the ruled lines and the wide margin, there is more than enough room to take notes.
\n3. I liked the elastic band so that I can shove paper in my Bible and not worry about losing it, though I really wish they had included the back pocket like they have in Moleskines. I wonder if it’s been patented.
\n4. I like the quality of the paper, it’s heavy enough that you don’t have trouble turning the pages.
\n5. I like the size of it, even though it’s a little thick which makes sense since it’s made with wide margins.
\nNow the downside, when I first got the Bible I couldn’t read it because the font was too small but in the providence of God I was scheduled for an eye doctor appointment the following week. Once I got my bifocals, I was able to read the text with no problem.
\nI recommend getting the Journaling Bible, especially if you love your Moleskine and if like writing in your Bible. I bet your notes will be a lot more legible with the lines than they are now.
\nBTW, here is the first note I put in my Journaling Bible:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s a thought I had related to Carrie’s post on the unbridled tongue<\/a>. I put a note in James to remind myself that to bridle my tongue (James 3:1-12) I need to bridle my heart (Matt. 15:16-19). If I’m not thinking in a judgmental manner, then I’m not speaking in one, though that’s easier said than done \ud83d\ude42
\nUpdated to add: I’ve added the name of the kind soul who offered me the Bible.<\/p>\n
