I am so excited to be able to share the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible with my friends, family, and readers. I find that when I use my bible I am highlighting, writing notes, and doodling while learning the word of God.I have notes and papers tucked into my Bible and Bible case that I find important to my life, inspirational, or for helping to minister to someone. I even have things my children made while growing up from Sunday School tucked in here and there.
The songs I sing in church or at home are highlighted in my Bible in one color so I can find them quickly. I am also lucky enough to have more than one Bible and I use each of them differently.
In just a few days I will be able to enjoy the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible for myself. I am excited to be able to color pictures, verses, etc to give my Bible a pop of color.
Check back here after 4/15/25 for my review.
I finally got my copy of the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible from Holman Bibles and it is much more beautiful in real life; the pictures I was given to use do not give it justice. I love that it has 2 ribbon markers, which make it great for saving where you are reading and where you may be following along with a sermon. It has many pictures you can fill in with color and plenty of space for taking notes, too. This Bible is by no means a lightweight so be aware that it weighs 4 lbs 4oz in the box sleeve that it comes in and 3 lbs 11oz on its own. Depending on your strength in traveling with this, you may want this as a Bible for home study and reflection as opposed to a church or ministry Bible.
For me I could use it either way because my rollator could hold it when I am moving from one place to another. I am also pretty sure that my current Bible weighs just about as much, if you take into account the case and all of the papers and things I have in it.
I love how this Bible feels and rests while open. It has beautiful maps and a concordance to help you study or find scriptures more quickly. It also has a weekly reading schedule check off list to be able to read the Bible in a year. The only thing that could make this better is if the words of Jesus were in red, but that I can get from several of my other Bibles.
The CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible would make a great gift for Easter, Baptism, Birthday, Christmas, etc.
