    Whoever reading this I just want you to know
    Your skin isn’t paper don’t cut it.
    Your body isn’t a book don’t judge it.
    Your heart isn’t a door don’t lock it.
    You’re life isn’t a movie don’t end it.
    To all the guys reading this YOU ARE handsome and you’re greater then you’ll ever know. To all the women reading this YOU ARE beautiful and you’re perfect as you are. God loves you sooooo much and he see’s your struggles. So come to him because he’s been waiting to talk to you... *1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”* 💚

    This was so enjoyable for me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey and love for your Bibles. Sometimes I have bought a Bible and when I received it, it didn't have a pull on me. Later as I go through different seasons of life, that very Bible pops out at me and I dive into it and it's the perfect Bible for the perfect time in my life. Our God is an amazing God and I love how He cares about every little detail in our life. I love how He guided you here. He knows exactly how your clock ticks. XXXX

But it's not listen for God His the greatest teacher of all. He will lead you to whatever bibles & tools you need to grow stronger I'm Him.

      The best example of this for me is the story of Jonah. Ninivah worship the pagan god Dagon, who is a fish god whose images consist of a mans torso coming out of the mouth of a fish. So God then has His prophet Jonah spit up on the shores of the Ninivah by a large fish. This would have gotten the whole cities attention due to the god they worshiped. Jonah may have only been swallowed because of his disobedience but God used it to reach a whole city on the level they understood as sacred.

I can appreciate what you've shared about your journey. I have a huge Bible collection comprised of every translation imaginable. While many people say they do not understand the King James Version, it is poetic and very much in my memory far more than the other translations. I'm a fan of the Amplified Bible especially the Amplified Study Bible. Thanks for sharing and your cat is beautiful! 🌺🌴🌄

I always been a highlighter lol Then I learn of the inspire bible and the illustrated one. That’s when a light went off in my daughter’s eyes and I feel selfish because I never got her one! Then I noticed she was going through some anxiety due to COVID and no school no socializing......this morning your video popped up. I can’t wait to go out today and get supplies and stickers.

One or two verses will list several topics in the margins and many references in each of those topics, so it really opens up and unpacks the text. Thanks for another great vid.

Also, an ABC book of little cut outs, labels, pictures of stuff, it has grown into 2 large ring binders full of little stuff. Never ever thought of this for my bible. I have a new NIV study bible with a hot pink leather cover. I have never been able to use it because it is so bright. Now I know what I am doing with it!

    Those Bibles are incredible! So creative and beautiful! I've been working on my own Study Bible, incorporating verses from many versions, adding detailed notes and information, etc. It's all on my computer and would love to print it out and bind it somehow, but I add notes as I go and grow, which would make it difficult to change in a hardcopy format. I miss having a HANDS ON Bible. I've read many versions but never found ONE that I like better than others which is why I created my own version. I would love to have one Bible that I used since I got saved 27 years ago. Anyhow your Bibles are just BEAUTIFUL!!!

    I so loved this video and subscribed to your channel! You truly are an inspiration and I'm so glad I happened onto your podcast. I've always written notes in my Bibles too but not as beautiful as you do...which I'm going to start! Just recently I was talking to my nephew and we were discussing our Bibles. I asked if he made written notations in his, and he said he didn't and liked to keep his Bibles new and pristine looking. He seemed amazed I wrote in mine. I then told him about hearing a pastor one time talking about how difficult it was whenever he was called upon to preach at a funeral of someone he didn't know. He said he would always ask a family member if the deceased had a personal Bible he could use. He said some Bibles he would open up and it seemed as though it had never been touched, with pages still sticking together, etc. Then sometimes he would open a Bible where the person had made lots of notes and comments. He said he could really get a feel for that person like he had known him personally, all from the person's notes and favorite scriptures, etc. I just thought that was a true testament of what your Bible says about yourself and your walk with Jesus. When I told that to my nephew, he said he would use one of his Bibles to start taking notes in, said he just had always liked keeping them clean and neat!

      I just love a well loved bible. But...but I have to admit I too love a fresh clean bible too. I love both opening a bible to a crisp clean page. I also love flipping through my bible that has a my past Spiritual journey. I believe if I kept all my bibles looking clean I would never be able to remember each time I have a study session with God no matter how big or little it was. I could flip back and see my thoughts & reflection over what I was reading at the time. Being able to reallly see this and hold it in my hand helped give me the confidence I needed on those days where Satan try to beat me down whisperings how worthless and unforgivably I am. I can now stand tall and punch him directly in the face because I know just how far I have come along on my journey to seeking out God.

    My church is kjv only and they're very strict about it being the only 100% accurate translation.. For years I dreaded reading the Bible because I'd have to cross reference what certain scripture meant. I was always told old English is something you'll learn over time but to this day I have to cross reference to fully understand what the KJV is saying. It wasn't until I found this old teeny bopper (think a Bible made for tweens) type of ESV study bible that was gifted to me that I began to truly enjoy and read the Bible for hours on end. Even though a lot of the margins are filled with advice for girls who are coming of age (I'm 22) it's still the only translation I have that I found myself GROWING in. Like I finally feel free to read and understand God's word now :) no more struggling with old English vernacular and confusing phrasing, and I don't care what my church has to say.

    • @reneallen8302

Long story short, I recently became re-invested in God and forming a connection with him. I want a true connection and I've been reading my Bible. I think the way you connect with God and His Word is amazing and beautiful. It gives me hope on my spiritual journey, it encourages me to continue on and that In His way he will transform me on His terms and in His time. God bless you Cat! Much Love and Prayers to you.

      The 1984 version of the NIV was my go-to translation for a long time, but I was persuaded by the arguments against the 2011 revision and jumped ship. Now I mostly use the NASB, but for certain purposes I also use the NET (mostly for the great wealth of translation notes) and I also go back to the KJV for its classic language and historical significance.

At my first Alpha session (a study session learning more about who Jesus is), I remember Nicky Gumbel said the bible is a love letter from God...Your bibles are beautiful and inspiring. They remind me of the bible I was guided to buy, and that I love to read too. Thank you for sharing your intimate connection with God. It is inspiring :)

    I just found you and I am so happy. I was praying for God to put someone in my life to help me understand the Bible journaling so I can get the knowledge I need when studying the Bible my family is KJV only but if I can get some understanding out of another version I am definitely going to be reading one that is easier for me to understand. Thanks for letting me know about all the different ones out there. Your art work you are doing is Beautiful also.

    I love this. My story is much the same but in checking out Bibles, I chose to keep the KJB. It is my favorite. I found Pastor Bob Davis on Blue Letter Bible and with Him, I learned how to study the Bible. He is part of Calvary Chapel and goes book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. I’ve learned more studying with him than all the years of Sunday School and Church. I am learning to tap into the Holy Spirit for clarity and understanding. I was compelled to quit reading books because that is time I could be spending with the Lord. My spiritual walk is called, “The Way and The Walk.”

    I had the same issue with the KJV growing up. Also couldn't connect with the ASV or RSV. Then the NIV came along and that became my only Bible because I was 'warned' about other translations and the 'errors' they contained. It wasn't until I got out of that NIV only trap that I realized having multiple translations really helps understand more of what God has to say so now I have a collection of different translations and even have started learning to consult the original Hebrew and Greek for even more understanding. Currently, my first go-to Bible is the ESV but I have found that now I'm older (60), I can go back to the KJV and connect a lot better with it. I missed out on getting a Thompson Chain when they were available but have managed to get my hands on a 1983 NIV version from a used book store. Tiny, tiny print so I need a magnifier but I can still learn how to use it to see if it would be worth it for me to invest in one of the Zondervan versions when they come out. I am a Bible collector, apparently. In addition to the multiple physical Bibles, my Kindle is loaded down with even more. I am enjoying seeing your collection and your reviews of what you do own.

    I colored all the maps in my Bible and made little doodles of flowers and vines. But your creativity has inspired me to do something similar.
    I read the entire Bible two years in a row but this year was strange and I could not sustain a constant read like I did in the past. I will try to start again in the new testament since the year is half over.
    Thanks for the inspiration! God Bless!📖

Plus I'm going now to school for biblical study it is amazing what kind of Journey the father will take us each on.

    @thecrew777 2 года назад

    I'm so glad to hear about when you're reading the Bible cover to cover! And that you have some that you don't mark in at all, or only have a few highlights in. I'm coming at the whole thing from the opposite end: I have now read the Bible cover to cover 18 times. And I've read the Gospels an additional 31 times each. (I decided at one point to just read a full Gospel every day for 31 days, then the next one for 31 days, etc.) I have ONE Bible I highlight in, take notes in and even draw very simplistic symbols in (such as a heart for something I love or tears for something incredibly sad). Other than using "posties" now and again, as you call them, I pretty much am focused on the Word and I LOVE study Bibles because I have enough if one doesn't answer my "Huh? What does that mean?" another one will. Loved your Thompson Chain Reference. I'd be glad to hear your take on THEIR unique artwork in the back of the Thompson Chain Reference!

I also use the She Reads Truth in CSB (Holman) just for reading and to look up in a different version because it's a good go-between of NKJ and NLT and has a great poetic, rhythmic flow.
