My vision already isn't the greatest, and I could see that really killing my eyes. I'm very glad to get your in-person impressions! I also think that for someone who is artistic and wanted to draw in the margins, the lack of lines on the side is perfect, but for those wanting to write notes or prayers (like you and I), it's not so great.

I liked it, but... unfortunately, I'm going to return it. I liked that the pages were very thick, and the font was not horribly small. I just didn't like the layout - there were no breaks/subtitles in the chapters, just rolling text in columns; as a librarian, this lack of organization really bothered me. I also didn't like the fact that there were no lines on the side margins - this could be helpful if you are drawing or doodling, but not so good for writing notes which is what I plan on using it for. I was happy that I got to check it out though! :) Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-90685888021013905462017-05-10T09:51:02.812-04:002017-05-10T09:51:02.812-04:00Hi Kevin!

You've reminded me about the summer book club poll. :0 I need to recalibrate the titles a bit based on feedback. I will work on that this week, and get the poll up early next!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-6301976426158320892017-05-10T09:48:44.381-04:002017-05-10T09:48:44.381-04:00Melanie,

He came to mind as I was looking, because I have heard of parish using his Bible study series, and I know he approaches it from the different covenants over time, which sounded very appealing. I will check out this book!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-22799915016132575412017-05-10T09:41:40.891-04:002017-05-10T09:41:40.891-04:00Beth, good thinking. ;-) I love Living Faith!

I...I don't think a journaling Bible is for me. I'd be too worried about writing in the book even though that is what it is mean for. I have a copy of Sacred Reading for 2017 but I haven't been using it lately. However a Bible reading plan makes me think of a more comprehensive plan to read through the Bible. I have a copy of Walking with God a Journey through the Bible by Tim Gray and Jeff Cavins. I like the way it explains salvation history and tells you what books to read so that the story is easier to follow. When I read the book many years ago, I think I just read their commentary (I don't remember the scripture being included in the book) and not the scripture verses recommended for each chapter. Perhaps I should pull it out again and read the Bible verses recommended as well. If I do I don't think I'll start with Genesis. Maybe with Solomon or the time of the kings after him.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906826460232914998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-23935278704084053322017-05-09T14:49:31.481-04:002017-05-09T14:49:31.481-04:00The Old Testament one just came out last month, so...The Old Testament one just came out last month, so that explains it. :0 Definitely tempted by the New Testament installment.

I have 40+ year old eyes too, so the small print is discouraging but I like the fact that the pages are really thick. I'm tempted to order it and try the New Testament anyway, especially for that price. Let me know what you decide to do. Cindynoreply@blogger.com
