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,

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...

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;...
