My Rating:

This is an absolutely stunning Bible! I was highly impressed with the illustration by Dana Tanamachi. Her artwork is absolutely amazing and draws me in to the scriptures. The wide margins are spacious enough for not only art, but notes, journaling and/or prayers. Works great with any pen. I have found that writing with a .5 or .7 pen works best. Black ink is good, but blue ink truly pops off the page. Highlighters work great as well.

The illustrations are stunning! My favorite ones have to be Psalms, Isaiah and Ephesians:

The creation of this Bible from start to finish is outstanding. I have the green hardcover with beautiful gold foiling. The green color is just amazing to the eye. The gold gilded edges add to the sophistication of the Bible.

My dust jacket did come with a bit of a tear to it, however, I love that the green hardcover has the actual design on the Bible itself. Overall, this is a Bible I highly recommend for both creative people and those looking for a Bible to take notes or study in.

Blessings,
