Translated by more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible features an optimal blend of accuracy and readability that’s faithful for serious study, and written with heart-stirring clarity that inspires readers to live and share it.
I LOVE the ‘artistic’ touches spread throughout this Bible. There are 66 scripture verses that are set apart from the others and are made special through font, color, and artistic garnish. These catch my attention and make them stand out. I enjoy looking at them, and the creative writing helps me to remember the wording – because memorization is a very hard thing for me.
See? Isn’t it pretty?
My Big Helper and I attend Bible journaling classes at our church. We love pulling out favorite or meaningful scriptures and trying to make them stand out like this, but I struggle with lettering. I love having these examples right in front of me, there in the Bible!
Another great feature of this Bible is the extra wide margins. I’ve only ever seen big margins like these in journaling Bibles, which this isn’t – but you could definitely use it as such. I’m not a big fan of covering up the words, but here there’s lots of room for your art or notes to go to the side of the scripture, and the creamy page color is a great backdrop for whatever you put on your page.
Each book of the Bible has information preceeding it. There’s not quite as much information as in my study Bibles, but there’s more than enough to provide food for thought. It provides a good summary, key scriptures, and some background information – just what I need to dig in.
I love the humbleness and down-to-earth quality of the devotions scattered throughout the Bible – in fact, even my Big Helper commented on that when she used it. They’re written seemingly by the woman down the street – somebody I might take a walk with after lunch or hang out with at the playground while the kids play. They make good points, but they feel very relevant to me specifically, and in the crazy busy season of life we’re in, I really appreciate that.
Lastly, this She Reads Truth Bible is in the CSB translation. This was the first Bible I’ve seen in this translation, and I appreciate the fresh look at scripture.
Basically, the She Reads Truth Bible feels like it was created just for me – for a busy mom-woman who needs a little pretty and a lot of truth in her life. I love it!
