Crossway sent me this awesome Student Study Bible to review. It comes in 14 different cover designs! I chose the Joshua Noom Artist cover because that is what appealed to my fifteen-year-old son. The hardcover versions are super pretty, but keep in mind they aren't as durable as a leather cover (which isn't available for …

This particular Heirloom Bible is a smaller size than …

ESV Pocket Bible Review
The nice people over at Crossway sent me the tiniest little Bible to review. It is tiny! It is 3.5" wide and 5.5" tall and an inch thick! Tiny! I have the deep brown buffalo leather cover (more about that later), but it also comes in several TruTone covers (chestnut, black, and turquoise). This Bible …
ESV Women’s Study Bible Review
Crossway sent me this beautiful Bible to review. I'm usually not a "women's Bible" kind of gal (with the exception of the She Reads Truth Bible), so I was pretty surprised to love this study Bible. The ESV Women's Study Bible comes in a slipcase box. Can we start with this beautiful cover? It is …

Merry Christmas! Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so …

Untriumphantly: Do All Things In Love
This last week of Advent is the week of Love! “Everything is permitted,” you say? Maybe, but not everything is helpful. “Everything is permitted?” Maybe, but not everything is edifying. No one should be looking out for his own interests, but for those of his fellow. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising questions …
