Please thank God with me. I won a certificate for this Bible from entering a contest at Chosen For Grace. I have a low book budget and this is a great addition that will leave money for other books.
I had a chance to get in on reviewing it but turned it down because I didn’t feel a need for a devotional Bible. Little did I know that the devotional part is weekly and is all at the beginning of the Bible. It’s full of great quotes in addition to material that spans church history and liturgy. Plus it’s hardcover (and also comes in leather with a beautiful spine) which is what I like and want/need. Our leather slimline is very nice but I mostly read lying down and it’s kind of floppy.
There are still more chances to win at least through November 27th. You can find reviews and many questions answered at those sites.
Sweet. Congrats!
That’s a great prize! Congrats.
Glad you won one! I’d love to hear your response to it once you get a chance to use it some.
This is from Laura Bartlett who couldn’t post because of being behind a proxy:
Congratulations! Your decision process is interesting. Do you think you’ll use the front reflection part weekly, or mostly as a text Bible with some extra content in front when you want it?

I think I’d like to use the devotional part for a year and it will become my main text Bible for the NLT which I use a lot. So I would say both.

Congrats, Jeff.
For me, I am using the devotions weekly.
Jeff,
Glad you were so excited to win. Glad I could help! The certificate is on the way, so you should have it very soon. I’m a fan of the bible, as will be reflected in my review tomorrow. Hope it blesses you well.
Thanks again for entering the contest.
You’re welcome Matthew and thank you very much for hosting the tour, reviewing and holding the contest. I look forward to the review.
Jeff
