As I delve into my CSB Women's Study Bible, I am truly amazed by the richness of information it holds. Though it may feel heavy and overwhelming at first, with time you'll come to cherish the abundance of wisdom it offers.

What I adore about this Bible is the thoughtful inclusion of two ribbons for marking your place, along with maps, images, and profiles of influential Christians throughout history. The book introductions feature outlines and timelines that deepen understanding and enhance the journey.

However, I must note a couple of drawbacks. The words of Jesus are not highlighted in red—a detail I find significant. Additionally, those with vision challenges may require a magnifying glass to read the fine print at the bottom of the pages, where references are located. The overall text size is quite small, and I hope a larger print edition can be created, though I understand that it may come with added weight, which might not suit everyone.

Overall, this is a remarkable reference book crafted by women for women, celebrating the powerful roles of women in the Bible and inspiring them to guide and uplift one another in faith.

About the Peace of God Bible

You were made for peace—and to be a peacemaker. The story of the Bible is the story of peace—peace with God and with one another. But peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm or ease. It is a way of experiencing life as we were always meant to—in relationship with our Creator and with each other. We can recover a completeness that was once lost but is restored in the gospel.

The Peace of God Bible invites you to experience peace with God as you trace this important theme throughout Scripture. By meditating on it daily as you read 365 devotions and application notes, you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ—and be equipped to share that peace with others.

 Features include:

• Book introductions to help reveal the part peace plays in each book of the Bible

• 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you in how to receive

and live by God’s peace

• 365 peace notes offering short, powerful insights to help you understand more

deeply the wholeness you have in Christ

• Topical indexes to help you study on your own how God's peace can shape 

different relationships in your life

• Articles explore what the peace of God is, how to find or recover it, and how

to experience eternal salvation because of what God has done for you

• Concise concordance and index of features                        

• End-of-page translators’ notes and cross-references

• Line-matched, double-column typesetting

• Clear and readable 9.5-point NKJV Comfort Print®

Please check back here after October 31, 2025, for my review.

I really enjoyed looking over the Peace of God Bible. I have the brown leather soft edition, and it has gold edging on the pages. I loved that while going through the Bible, the gold did not rub off. I know that is a weird thing to love about this Bible, but anyone who has had a gold-leaf Bible knows what I am talking about. It features a ribbon bookmark, which is useful in many ways, from keeping your place to finding your favorite scripture more quickly. I love the flexible binding, which allows it to lie naturally in your hands, on your lap, or flat on a surface. The peace notes are helpful, and I love the devotionals as they help me learn about new ways to receive and deliver peace throughout the Bible. As I was telling my son, I can read the Bible and learn on my own, but I also enjoy being led through the Bible with little nudges like the notes and devotions included in this Bible. I am more apt to read for longer periods of time. This is a joyful Bible that helps instill peace in your life.

Welcome to the 

$10 Amazon Gift Card

and 

3 months of Living Scriptures+ Giveaway!

Recently, I was able to try out the Living Scriptures+ Streaming service. I found quite a few movies that I want to watch and have already watched a few. As a young mother, I didn't realize that what you watch is what you invite into your home, I just wish I had taken more care in what we watched with our own children as I did with our child care children. As a much more mature mom turned Grandmother, I cringe at what I used to let my children watch growing up. With Living Scriptures + it takes the guessing out of your content choices. 

Living Scriptures + has roots dating back to 1974, and has spent five decades creating and curating content that strengthens families through meaningful storytelling. My readers can take advantage Living Scriptures + Summer Deal and get 2 whole months of content for just .99 a month. That is a huge discount, and what better time to get started than during Summer Vacation! 

I was able to easily add the app to our Living room TV, which is our oldest and cheapest TV, while our Bedroom TV, which is newer and more costly, did not have the app available. I can still watch in our bedroom through my computer or tablet but hope with the next update to our TV the Living Scriptures + App will be available. So before you sign up, make sure your TV either has the app or the app can be installed. 

Below my readers can also enter to win a $10 Amazon Gift Card and 3 months of Living Scriptures + at no cost.

Embassy™ Italian Stone™ LEATHER BIBLE COVER

I have a Bible from my teen years that has a nice cover which I love but recently my husband bought me a mom's devotional Bible which needed a cover as well.

I love the zippers with the cross on them, the zipper and velcro pouch as well as the pen holder inside of the cover. This also has the front and back cover holder for your Bible to keep it secure in the cover itself. There is also a handle so you can carry this with you. This cover will last and look great for years to come.
