This is my first time ever seeing and using a double column journaling Bible and I must say I am enjoying it so far. I have the deluxe edition which comes with a gorgeous red, yellow and teal paisley design and brown leather over board. The feel of Bible is amazing in hands, especially because of it's thin and small size. When you open the Bible you are greated with beautiful teal end-pages in the same paisley design. The aesthetics for this Bible is just superb.

As for the inside of this Bible, the quality of the paper is beautiful to write on with its light cream color. It's easy to turn and write on. I found no problems with using a Micron, Pentel RSVP Pen, Zebra Mildliner or Sharpie highlighter (smear guard). As far as the printing of the text -- so enjoyable! The text is a nice size and it's all line matched for easy flow of reading. It's also red letter text which I am a major fan of! Who doesn't love the words of Christ in red?!

The 2+ inches wide margin with lines are great for jotting down notes from sermons, prayers or just personal thoughts. I could even have fun and throw some stickers to decorate. I also love the adequate space provided on the top and bottom of the page for more note-taking. My favorite part has to be the resources in the back of the Bible as many journaling Bibles don't include reference or resources in the back of their Bibles.

Resources include the harmony of the gospels chart, miracles from both Old Testament & New Testament,  Parables from the Old Testament & New Testament and Old Testament prophecies of the passion. These are excellent for studying the Word even further or comparing the different books with one another.

I, personally, have never had a double column style journaling Bible, so being able to make use of this is going to be a fun learning experience for me. As much as I am a fan of a single column, I do see the appeal of a double column as it makes for the Bible to be thinner and easier to carry around, especially in a purse or small Bible bag.

Do I recommend this Bible? Yes I totally do. It's ideal for all ages. Whether drawing or writing. I, however, can't wait to take mine to church to do some sermon note-taking.

Blessings,
