KJV Journal the Word Reference Edition from Thomas Nelson. Purchase: amzn.to/2DrOrwC See the written review: biblebuyinggui... Thomas Nelson provided this Bible in exchange for an honest review.
Hi randy really appreciate the work you are doing. You have helped me a lot in making decision when picking up bibles. Could you do side by side comparison with and without reference and large print and normal print of same bible please ?? i am concerned of their sizes differences. I prefer reference edition but i fear it might be to big to carry around
I am so glad you did the large print comparison. I would really prefer the large print Journal the Word, but I want the references too. But I don't see the reference edition offered with the large print. I need to find both of the these Bibles in a store, so I can see them in person. The only Christian book store in my area is LIfeway and I don't even know if it is still open. I saw where Lifeway was closing their retail stores. Maybe Barns and Noble has them, or possibly Books A Million.
If only they would add this to the premier collection and add an inch or 2 to the top so it's not so thick I would have the bible of my dreams... I love this bible. Thinking about getting it rebound. What do you think? Or should I just wait for the nkjv premier collection wide margin coming in 3 months? That one might be really nice too. Anyway, great review as always.
Thanks! I'd love to have that Bible too! It might be a good idea to wait for the NKJV wm. It really just depends on how much space you want for notes and whether you want double or single column. The journaling Bible might have more space per verse.
I personally like the cream color paper. It's easier on my eyes. My KJV Journaling Bible is sort of a cross between the stark white and the dark cream, and it isn't the Reference Bible. My journaling Bibles (KJV, NASB, and ESV) are all fairly bare bones, so to speak. I use my Greek and Hebrew Key Word Study Bibles, and the Blue Letter Bible online, when I want to dive into commentary and history. Otherwise, I prefer a journaling Bible that will challenge me to think and connect to Scripture. And it's nice to look back at older notes to check my spiritual growth.
I love reading my Bibles as well taking notes I have a world bible school study edition journaling bible and 2 King James version bibles and a Spanish bible as well can I write in them with a pompom pen or with a phone pen.
This one link has many different reviews on Amazon. Thomas Nelson doesn't even have this on their website! I'm trying to find this exact version. I'm scared I won't get the same Bible from Amazon because the customers are showing different photos on their reviews in the same link.
Hi. Amazon combines reviews with similar books together. Their review system is one of the reasons I started a Bible rview website. The link we provide is to the same ISBN number as this one in the review.
Great review. If you were to teach someone to study the Bible what exactly would you recommend? Bible? Books? Tools? I just want to read the Bible and let the Holy Spirit direct me. Thank you Randy!
Hi Michelle, Here are a few books that I highly recommend to help in learning how to study: Study the Bible: Six Easy Steps: A Simple Approach to Understand Scripture & Deepen Your Relationship with God (amzn.to/2I8AGnQ). This one is easy to read and has a great approach to study. It helps build strong study habits. It lists lots of good study resources. How to Study Your Bible: Discover the Life-Changing Approach to God's Word (amzn.to/2vlnOs3). I'm a Kay Arthur fan and her book breaks down inductive study. It's an excellent way to study the Bible and it allows the Bible to interpret itself. The Basic Steps of Bible Study: Getting Started (amzn.to/2wndAqV). This is a short and simple book by Kay Arthur that's just the study portion of the book above. Easy Bible Marking Guide (amzn.to/2Ig1lz7). This is my book that covers lots of simple marking techniques. For Bibles, I love to study in a journal edition or a wide margin edition. There are lots of choices for these. They're available in most translations and in regular and large print. I also like to study from a reference Bible and compare Scripture with Scripture. Most reference Bibles are great for this. Some of my favorites include the Thompson Chain Reference from Kirkbride (you can also get them from Church Bible Publishers) and the Westminster from TBS. For study Bibles, I like those that focus on the culture of biblical times. Something like the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible (amzn.to/2wlzqeq) and Archaeology Study Bible (amzn.to/2uIdv0D). I also like word studies, like Word Study Bible (amzn.to/2I8Rmf7). The Thompson is a good study Bible for topical studies and it includes lots of study tips. That's probably more than you want, to be honest, so I'll stop there. For disclosure, these are affiliate links (I used them mostly because they're shorter than regular links). Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Randy
Hi Jessica. It's really hard to choose because they're so different. The paper is excellent in both, but the Concord has better contrast with the text. The Concord has a lot more pages for notes. This one has updated words in the margins. If the price didn't matter, I'd go with the Concord because it has more pages, maps, and has better construction. For the price, this one is an excellent choice.
Do you think you could do a review on the kjv journal the word large print in bonded leather???? I havent seen a video specifically dedicated to the bonded leather , only the hardcover
I thought the comfort print was suppose to make it easier to read. Smaller is not easier to me. lol What exactly is the comfort print compared to normal print?
Thank you for the links. I am still not sure the difference. In looking at the example, the comfort print just looks darker and bolder. The explanation they give is pretty vague to me as to why the comfort print is easier to read. They never really say why it is easier to read. Only that the print flows better? If I were to explain, I would just say it is easier to read because it is a bolder print. lol But that explanation doesn't sound so special. But if it makes the print easier to read, it doesn't matter how they do it.
I don’t like the yellow pages either. If you look hard enough there are some with white pages. I actually found a journal the word Bible with white pages. But it was a different translation.
