My Rating: 
This Bible in and of itself is beautiful presentation wise. I love the gift box it comes in. The gold detailing balanced with white is very simple, modern and elegant. It's easy on the eyes and great to display on your desk or shelf. The Bible is setup similarly to their journal the Word Bible in that it's a single column Bible with wide margins for notes. There are no lines, but it does include commentary concerning the scriptures.

Beside the commentary within this Bible there are book introductions, biographies, essays and other great resources. Towards the back of the Bible there are several articles, creeds of the church (such as the apostles' creed), reading plans, artwork and maps. This Bible does not include a concordance like most Bibles, but considering that this is not a study Bible that's okay.

This is definitely a combination of a journaling Bible and commentary. I enjoy the notes throughout and photographs of the artwork are outstanding. This is not essential to studying, it's one of those Bibles that would be a good asset, but not needed. Personally, I adore it and all that it offers. Font size is 8.5 and it does come with two satin bookmark ribbons in a nice dark charcoal and golden shade which are thick. I love it!

The Bible comes in three different bindings: white hardcover, gray cloth over board and brown leathersoft, so you can pick according to your desire.

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;...

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene...
