This was so good. I laughed so hard. Even made my heart giggle. I just told Sheree yesterday that maybe we need an intervention. 😂🤣. I honestly have no idea how many bibles I own. I bought 11 last year alone. I have too bookcases full. And over the past 20 years i have gifted so many. What better gift can you give someone that the Word of God. We are so blessed. The hardest thing about having to leave work because of my illness is not having as much money to bless others. But i know if God wants me to, He will supply what i need to do so. So please pray God give me a huge bible fund to bless all my spiritual babies in Christ. Love this video!!!!
I found the Quest bible used at as low as $5.00 a bible. Check Thrift Books. I like them because they offer so much-needed information and are a good beginning bible. People read it.
Coming from a bible hoarder myself .. I find the problem with too many bibles is I never use them long enough. Almost like it’s never good enough yet I’m longing for a #1 bible - but they all these newer bibles keep coming out and it’s something new and shiny that I want. Then I question myself - you already have the word of God ... we always want want want and that’s so difficult to say. But for me it’s true. I just want to feel content and happy with the bibles I already have
Sheena I will pray for you to have contentment ❤️ That's often one of my biggest struggles, just being content with what I have been blessed with and not wanting more and more, of anything. It's hard for sure! Blessing sweet sister!! ❤️❤️
Same here! Then you can't find the one you want because there are too many! I am finding I use my digital study Bibles more than the physical copies.i am really going to try to take the unused ones to half price books.
I have just started my walk with the Lord and am trying to find MY bible. I have 12 right now. I used to have more but I have shared them with other Sisters in Christ! We have a local Christian thrift store that has free used bibles and other books for .69 to .99!!! Oh My!!! Anyway, love you!
Thank you Daynica!! Love your name!! Baby Christian and already a Bible hoarder 😂 isn't that neat that they give away Bibles!! Our local thrift store has them for .50 or $1 but I have been to ones where they are free!! I'm trying to come up with an idea of how I can match ladies up that need a Bible with ladies that have a little extra blessings to be able to buy them one ❤️ I mean within this RUclips and Facebook community 😊😊
You don't need that many. All you need is a King James Bible. Get 3 of them, in case your regular read wears out. The King James Bible hasn't changed the words or punctuation much since it came out over 400 years ago. The other versions constantly change words and some have verses deleted or changed.
I have about 30 bibles at last count. One of my favorites is from a retired pastor I met at a yard sale. We visited a long time and he ended up giving me his personal Crisswell Study Bible with his sermon and study notes written in it. I will treasure it always!
Why do people get that many Bibles? I doubt they will read all of them. All you really need is a King James Bible. Maybe 3 of them in case your regular read wears out.
This is me!! 😂 I used ONE bible. Just one. Same bible. For 10 years. I had ONE bible. A quest study bible too too be exact. Pandemic hit, I discovered journaling bibles, and that was a slippery slope 😬
Oh Nicki...I just love you. You ALWAYS brighten up my day❣️ I am so happy to see your bible collection grow. Loved how you started this video...girl you are one very talented and entertaining young lady. I started collecting bibles about two years ago, I grew up with one bible and thought that was enough...but really don’t think bible collecting was done much back then. But now I am a proud Bible hoarder...a hoarderette I guess and I have about 20 bibles and looking at another one as we speak. ❤️
I have 86 and counting...when I think okay you don't need another Bible....yes I know....then I see one I don't have and love so before you know it I have another one...Yes, I am a Bible hoarder/collector! I do give Bibles to others who need them. God has Blessed me with a Love for The Word & all things having to do with God's word. Love Live
Hi Nicki, great video. Yes i am definitely a Bible hoarder, I have so many that I lost count I would give an estimate of 30+ and enjoy each and every one, I have several study bibles all different translations my favorite is NLT I do also like the NIV and the CSB both in study format. I cannot say I will stop at that amount I truly love Bibles and each one I get I am excited about. Take care and God Bless.
I look forward to your videos. So I have never counted how many bibles I have until now. I have 22 bibles. This surprised me. Does this make me a hoarder?? If it does, at least it is a good thing to hoard.
I too am a bible hoarder. I'm new to this since January, but I always go to thrift stores for them. Just last week 2 were given away to a stepdaughter and granddaughter. But then today, I got a new one! So now I'm up to 8, or is it 9? I can't seem to stop. Soon I'll need an intervention!!! Loved how you started the video!! You crack me up!
I like to check out the thrift stores for them too!! So far I haven't found any good ones, but always find several Christian books that are sooooo cheap and most probably never read!! 💚💜💙
Francy I keep giving them away!! People have bought me several lately and God keeps putting on my heart to give them each away!! Such a great gift to give! 💕
I have 6 Bibles and I just ordered my 7th last night (which also happens to be my 1st Study Bible), so I’m pretty excited! ❤️😊📖📚 Much Love and God Bless!!
I have 15 bibles at this time. I've given away about that many. I have been so confused about what I want. I'm torn between loving the poetry of the kjv , but a lot of it I can't understand. I have tried so many versions. I finally got a niv a few months ago. It seems to be ok but there's no commentary, study notes, or any place to journal. Still searching :)
I love having a study Bible because you get the help notes plus there seems to be a lot of blank spaces here and there that I can take notes in and even draw a few bitty Bible journaling pic!! 💚💙💜
the new king james version is soo sooo good!! also look into the life application study bible - it carries nasb. nkjv, nlt and niv tranlations! joyce meyer bibles are also really good i like the amplified version. it really goes above and beyond to help you understand scripture without ruining the actual scripture. it puts the added commentary in brackets. its a really neat translation!!! i hope you find YOUR bible!!
This is soooooo me! I don’t do Bible art or journaling. I just LOVE the Word of God so I buy all types of Bibles 🤗 LOVE me some JESUS & the WORD 🥰✝️💗. Love reading & studying God’s LIVING Word!
I hoard absolutely nothing as a matter of fact I throw almost everything away! However, I do have a bible collection and I keep everything my kids have ever given me! We all have our weak points. Diana
I just found your channel about a month ago so I’m seeing this 2 years after you posted it! My favorite Bible is my Womens CSV Study Bible by Holman- it’s Aqua/Teal colors and has pretty flowers on it. I’ve had it about 4 years. I think I have 6 Bibles all together.. I also have a John McArthur ESV study Bible and I just got a Jesus Bible. ❤️✝️
One, on my native language, and ordering a second one, since I want to really read and study the book cover to cover. For me a bible is a very good storybook that as lot of different culture stories and traditions and the value is reading the story, trying to understand the history context/timeline and learn the message and application, if any. As for any book, if you don’t read it, you are not using it for what was made for.
Bible collector here! 🙌 I use many different Bibles for various reasons. I also like to dedicate specific usage to each Bible, e,g., Bible Garden, prayer, devo, study, promises of God, etc as well as read through specific study Bibles like Battlefield of the Mind Bible or have different translations of one Bible. I have 30+ and I just asked for an updated NLT Life Application Bible for Mother’s Day. The version I have is the older NLT. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm gonna have to research what a Bible garden is!! All of these terms are new to me in the last six months 😊 I love having a Bible devoured for study ND one for prayer, etc. Be blessed!! ❤️
Nicki Drake-CrazySimpleTruth I got the idea for a Bible garden from Cat Woods here on RUclips. She also does Bible reviews and decorates all of her Bibles beautifully. ❤️❤️❤️
I understand your desire for more Bibles......I have sooooooo many.....I wanted for everyone in my family to have a Bible from me with a ll my notes and coloring and journaling.....my mama had one Bible and my middle sister had it, well, her house caught on fire and she lost everything.....including mama's Bible. So that day is when I decided to have many and when I get a new one, I start fresh from the beginning so they will all have a keepsake from me. I have more than a dozen, some are packed up because we are building a new place. I can't wait to see them all again!!! Hahaha I really enjoyed this video......nice to know I have some Bible hoarder sisters out there!!!😂💜🙏
I went to a bookstore where I live and I found a bible that has a synopsis of each bible book it's very easy for me to understand to help me on my Christian Journey I'm very happy that I found you are a great mentor thank you Nicki
I had always had a variety of Bibles....cause I love my Bibles and translations....i want to hold them in my hands and touch the Scriptures. I have been Bible Journaling all my life, it seems, but the last 3 years I also caught the Bible Art Journaling bug and studying the Word took on a new life. 5 years back I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration and for a few years I didn’t notice many changes, but had to have eye injections in both eyes every month for a few years. It was helpful but the disease doesn’t go away, only advances. Now, today, I have a difficult time reading especially black on white print. I have 2 LARGE PRINT INSPIRE BIBLES FOR JOURNALING. I am not an artist but have learned to be creative. I have been covering the designs on my pages lately with white gesso because I can’t follow the designs very well anymore. But I won’t give up and will keep on keeping on as long as the Lord gives me any sight. I do my reading and studying now on my iPad. Sure doesn’t feel the same but, glory be, the Scriptures don’t change!
What an inspiring testimony you have ❤️ ouch....eyeball injections sound horrid. 😬 So true about the scriptures no matter how we get them, even if you eventually have to only listen to them they always seem to teach us new things and bless us!! Praise God for technology. 🙌
Cookie Giblin love you,, a tip from me try highlighting pages with bible highlights this makes it easier to read, I have misties from a displaced lens hugs and only one eye.
I got my first "grown up" bible less than a year ago, (had an unknown translation since childhood that I still read) it was an NIV study bible which I loved and still do but soon after I heard so much controversy around the NIV and I have a friend who is very anti NIV so she gave me a KJV it's a beautiful cover, lovely paper ect but it's just too hard to read I can't understand most of it so then I got a free NKJV from a church, again it's pretty but i don't find it much easier to read than the regular kjv but i can and do read it, it's my "going out" bible as it's fairly streamlined. Then I bought the amplified version as I loved reading that on the bible app, I use it more as a reference bible especially when something in one of the other translations really speaks to me. I currently have an NLT study bible on it way to me! I wonder how many I'll have this time next year! I know at some stage I'd like to get a NKJV study bible and some sort of pocket bible
I have one that is my absolute favorite , the back section of my Bible fell out many years ago and the last two pages of Revelation are taped in not the best job ! I have a few Bible's and some study Bibles, journal ones ,no room ones The journaling Bibles and the no room Bible's have a variety of things going on I have one Bible that has nothing in it and I plan to use it for your workbooks , and if Amazon discontinue selling them find another company that will! Never give up on your workbooks
I prefer to say...I am a Bible collector lol. Ok I know I'm a hoarder, but collector sounds soooo much better.😊 I am so glad you are getting an affliate to Christianbooks...I buy from there all the time, so now when I do, I can bless you too. Loved the feature at the beginning of this video🤗. Oh, I love the HCSB Bible version, even though its been replaced by the CSB which I am not as fond of. Im looking for a Life Application Bible, been praying for a good opportunity sale. I hope it will be my last Bible for a while. 🤞God bless.❤
I didn't realize the CSB and the HCSB aren't the same thing. I'll have to check out the history on that. It's always interesting to see when they created and or changed a Bible version 😊 learn something new everyday!!
Hi Nicki, I really enjoy your You Tube videos, and it's so funny when you call yourself a Bible Hoarder, I am one to I love Bibles, I have so many and it seems when someone reviews one I have to get it, I have translations that range from Interlinear to the Message ( was curious to see what it was like) ESV, Amplified, NIV, NASB, the Evidence Bible, by Ray Comfort, King James, New King James, the Rainbow Bible, the Foundation Study Bible, CSB, and the NLT, It happens to be my favorite and some translations I have more than one of, so I would consider myself a Bible Hoarder and I love it.
I have 5 bibles lol... and I’m about to buy 2 more, I love reading different translations and study notes and putting all that and my thought in to one journaling Bible
I am the same way I believe I have at least 10 to 12 bibles I be got some at garage sales and store sales. If someone in the family or just a friend even a stranger that’s trying to change and in need of a Bible I’ll have one to give to someone in need. I love it
I have 45 bibles! Some women buy shoes; I buy bibles! My current fave is one that is out of print - Women of Faith Study Bible. Second fave is Quest at the moment.
I think I have between 10 & 15?! Lol! First I had regular print, then I had to upgrade to large print! Ugh!! Then as I started watching more RUclips videos I bought bibles in different translations, the Jesus bible, a journaling bible (which I love! I’m not an artist!! But I do love the extra room for notes.) I am going to try & take a break from buying new bibles & save up for a really, really nice one. One that will last a lifetime & can be handed down to my daughters someday. As far as a study bible, I have NIV & NLT. A church I went to used the NLT & I liked being able to follow along. The NLT is very easy to understand. I like having a few translations & sometimes I have them all opened up on my bed, reading each translation til I understand completely. As for the internet, I like it especially if I know part of a verse & not sure where it’s at in the Bible. I can put in just part of the verse & find it. I’m like you, I like the physical bible. Same with planners, I like an agenda I can write in. Don’t ask me how many planners I have! 🤦🏼♀️
I own one of the oldest study Bibles out there. It’s called the Ryrie Study Bible. I own it in the New American Standard Bible but it’s available in the King James Version as well. I have the MacArthur Study Bible in both the NKJV & the ESV. I also own two other non-study Bibles in the ESV. There’s a slight difference between the two ESV Bibles. One is ESV. The other is called ESVUK. The UK 🇬🇧 is anglicised, meaning the word spelling is the British spelling. You can find both ESV types on Bible Gateway. I like the UK 🇬🇧 version because we lived in England 🏴 for three years and my wife and I quickly learned British English.
Have you considered cutting off the cover of a Bible, getting the pages hole- punched (Office Depot, Kinko's,...) and making a notebook Bible? That way you could expand forever.
Does hoarding Bible's extend to how many translations I've downloaded in the Bible app?😂 Our house has 8 Bible's, of those 3 are mine, 3 are from family that has passed (1 in German), 1 is a children's Bible and the other is my husband's. My favorite Bible that I use all the time is the NIV Quest Study Bible that I got from one of our pastor's last year. It's AMAZING!! Do you have any suggestions on study Bible's for men? My husband's Bible is just a cheap NIV we got on Amazon when we really came to Christ last year. I would like to invest in one for him for Father's day. ❤️
I have 4 bibles right now. My first Bible was the Good News Bible which I got from my church when I turned 10. Then after college when I got born again I got me an ESV version. Love the ESV in terms of readability. I also have an RSV which I just found in my church while we were setting up for virtual worship. I dont really read out of that much if I'm being honest. Then my girlfriend gave me a beautifully antique copy of the King James bible which I absolutely love. I was surprised that the language isnt as dense or as difficult to understand as I first thought. But that one I would say is my primary Bible for reading and taking to church right now. One thing I really like about the Good News Bible right now is each book has a summary at the beginning and an explanation of where it fits in the overall biblical narrative and I've found those to be very helpful. I dont have an honest to God study bible tho. I'm looking for one maybe in the NIV or ESV. But I've mostly been one to just read the word and see what I can get out of it myself then maybe look up some sermons from other pastors on that passage. But that's just me. I appreciate this video. My parents are definitely judging me for owning so many Bibles at this point lol
We are currently living in a travel trailer. I think between my husband and I, we have 8 Bibles/study Bibles in the trailer with us. Most are different versions. In storage, I can quickly think of an additional 4, which are ones that I keep thinking, “I wish I had …because I need it for…” whatever study notes it has or version it is. The funny thing is that the number of Bibles in the trailer, I had to increase a couple of times because I would remember that we bought some different versions. 😂😂😂
Wow, this is one of your older videos, but I was told I needed to change my bible translation. I have been studying and reading the NLT for about 15 years, maybe longer. When I first became a Christian I had The Message Version. I decided to get into the NLT because I understood what I was reading better than the KJV. I now have 27 bibles, many different versions, but still like my NLT. I decided to look at a few people I regularly watch to see what thoughts they had on Versions and such. I will be praying over the versions and ask God to guide me in a decision of what version is best for me.
The NLT is a great version for beginners and foe passages that are confusing or hard to grasp. I use it as a translation comparison almost daily, but I use the ESV and HCSB as my main translations. :)
The one bummer about the cloth is mine is so light colored that it's dirty on the binding edges and it doesn't wipe off. Other than that, my cloth note taking Bible is super pretty!! 💚 Be blessed Tina!! 💙
Hahahaha love the video I collect bibles too and love Bible jounneling and I have helped bring afew people to Christ by what I do as they love what I do they are all my babies I just fasnated by them loving god's word they all teach you something different and I love to study and I too love a book in my hand that's just me I get excited by bookstores great video xx 💕
I'm not a Bible hoarder. Not one has every called me that. I have two bibles. I keep one in my vehicle. The outside cover is a little ripped up and my mom bought me a study Bible.
I personally have four Bibles (3 NIV's and 1 NRSV). Just ordered a ESV single column journaling Bible large print. My husband also has four including the Interlinear Bible, Apologetics Bible and Archaelogist Bible which we share.
If you go to my website www.crazysimpletruth.org there is a large Christianbooks webbsite ad, side bar, that you can click on, and order from to help me out 😊 every little bit helps my ministry & os so appreciated!!
Just counted eleven Bibles and I have one coming from Amazon. So it will be twelve in all. There are two I totally wore out and three I gave away. Not sure that counts. I forgot my Chronological Journaling Bible, so I will have thirteen Bibles very soon. Funny thing is, I'm minimalist with everything but Bibles and coffee mugs.😆
I have never counted them but I have every version there is. I currently am reading the NLT which is parallel with the KJ bible. Good balance. Any question I have I go to the interlinear bible which is a direct translation and read the scripture in question.
Lol you had me worried. Because I too am a bible hoarder I'm always buying bibles and my husband is like how many bibles to u need. And my answer is as many as It takes lol.
I don't know if you will see this, but I was wondering if you would ever consider selling one of your already written doodled bibles? I would love to see your Journaling and learn from you.
Thank you for doing this ! I have like 10 bibles, I have the KJV That is originally my mom's, qnd I tried to read that first, because it's for kids, (I was 26, and I thought it would be easy ) but nah, it was very very hard, and I quit.... because I didn't understand it ... then I went a couple months and gave up, then I had some old teen bibles from my church when I was a kid, I tried to study them, but I wasn't into it, and then I started looking up, why is it so easy for people to read the Bible and I can't!?!well, I realized that there were different versions! KJV , NIV, ESV, and oh man, did that change ge my world ! I found a Bible that I could understand, and I have read about 15 books ! And I study them also ! Qnd , I started with a small Bible, but it wasn't enough room for notes, so I bought a bigger Bible, then I got a study bible, then I got a Journaling Bible, then I got a travel Bible, I have about 10 bibles now !!! and I have been feeling bad, because I've become a hoarder, but I feel like, I'm going through this Bible fast, and I want to re read the Bible again, or go back in a different process with the other bibles I have, and the bible I'm working on right now, is for my daughter, I'm taking notes in it so she doesn't get all confused like I am and it will be easier for her
Hey Nikki, I almost forgot, during the pandemic most universities are offering free courses and certificates. Also when I went to your website the printables are bunched together.
Well, I don't feel so bad any more I have 12.5 bibles (at least that are not tucked away) I rarely use a study bible, only if I am not able to make the conection from one scripture to another to figure it out and after using the strong's. Sometimes I will read the notes in my study bible for more of a cultural understanding. I have used the Quest Study Bible years ago; right now I have The Women's Study Bible or I may go to the commentaries on biblehub.com. I use the You Version app a ton for on the go and for listening to the bible. (Btw my half bible is a NT with psalms and proverbs)
Wow that's great.. I dont even have one yet...❤ the reason is..I don't know which one I should get because I'm really new at trying to read the bible.. still trying to learn..
Lisa tomorrows video will be PERFECT for you! I compare my 2 favorite study Bibles and show their features! A good study Bible is essential for beginners!
I’m old school physical books and paper/pen kind of person no technology is good it takes away of physical and mentally thinking skills and knowledge of what you learn in life if people don’t read and write it’s not learning if you have technology taken care of it for you it’s not learning the same way I enjoy reading physical books in general
I have oodles of Bibles!! Happy Im not the only one. I give my g-kids a Bible and a purity ring on their 12th birthday. I want them all to have something special from their Meme and Papaw. I buy everybody a Bible that needs one. I bought all my kids one to. =)
I just saw this and I must confess y'all I have a Bible addiction 🤣😂🤣 I have ummm 13 all different. KJV, study Bible, NLT, etc ... I have like two concordances and I'm a newbie lol 😂😂😂
It could be much worse than hoarding Bibles ...like cats or something !! I think it’s rather awesome to be a Bible hoarder, I just recently started doing this myself! I can’t wait to obtain more of them !!
This was so good. I laughed so hard. Even made my heart giggle. I just told Sheree yesterday that maybe we need an intervention. 😂🤣. I honestly have no idea how many bibles I own. I bought 11 last year alone. I have too bookcases full. And over the past 20 years i have gifted so many. What better gift can you give someone that the Word of God. We are so blessed. The hardest thing about having to leave work because of my illness is not having as much money to bless others. But i know if God wants me to, He will supply what i need to do so. So please pray God give me a huge bible fund to bless all my spiritual babies in Christ. Love this video!!!!
Added to my prayers 🙏 you have such a kind ❤️
Is there a particular Bible you are wanting?
I found the Quest bible used at as low as $5.00 a bible. Check Thrift Books. I like them because they offer so much-needed information and are a good beginning bible. People read it.
Your bible notes and drawings are what i aspire to. Im 48 and just begining my walk. I am a newly baptized learner. Thank you for helping me learn
I love this for you! 💕💕

Hi Nicki, great video. Yes i am definitely a Bible hoarder, I have so many that I lost count I would give an estimate of 30+ and enjoy each and every one, I have several study bibles all different translations my favorite is NLT I do also like the NIV and the CSB both in study format.

I like to check out the thrift stores for them too!! So far I haven't found any good ones, but always find several Christian books that are sooooo cheap and most probably never read!! 💚💜💙
I love bibles too !!! I love collecting them ! Ive blessed others & it fills my heart with so much joy ☺️
Francy I keep giving them away!! People have bought me several lately and God keeps putting on my heart to give them each away!! Such a great gift to give! 💕
I have 6 Bibles and I just ordered my 7th last night (which also happens to be my 1st Study Bible), so I’m pretty excited! ❤️😊📖📚
Much Love and God Bless!!
LisaMarie Sweetser I love my study bibles!! You will too! So helpful! Thanks for watching 💕
I have 15 bibles at this time. I've given away about that many. I have been so confused about what I want. I'm torn between loving the poetry of the kjv , but a lot of it I can't understand. I have tried so many versions. I finally got a niv a few months ago. It seems to be ok but there's no commentary, study notes, or any place to journal. Still searching :)
I love having a study Bible because you get the help notes plus there seems to be a lot of blank spaces here and there that I can take notes in and even draw a few bitty Bible journaling pic!! 💚💙💜
There are tons of NIV Study Bibles. The study Bibles have the notes your looking for
the new king james version is soo sooo good!!
also look into the life application study bible - it carries nasb. nkjv, nlt and niv tranlations! joyce meyer bibles are also really good i like the amplified version. it really goes above and beyond to help you understand scripture without ruining the actual scripture. it puts the added commentary in brackets. its a really neat translation!!! i hope you find YOUR bible!!
If you like the poetry of the KJV, use another version as a supplement to help you understand it. Nothing wrong with that.
This is soooooo me! I don’t do Bible art or journaling. I just LOVE the Word of God so I buy all types of Bibles 🤗 LOVE me some JESUS & the WORD 🥰✝️💗. Love reading & studying God’s LIVING Word!
I wish I had more!! I find that now, I have so much in so many of them, that I am running out of space for notes!!
I hoard absolutely nothing as a matter of fact I throw almost everything away! However, I do have a bible collection and I keep everything my kids have ever given me! We all have our weak points. Diana
😂 you're too funny!!
I just found your channel about a month ago so I’m seeing this 2 years after you posted it! My favorite Bible is my Womens CSV Study Bible by Holman- it’s Aqua/Teal colors and has pretty flowers on it. I’ve had it about 4 years. I think I have 6 Bibles all together.. I also have a John McArthur ESV study Bible and I just got a Jesus Bible. ❤️✝️
One, on my native language, and ordering a second one, since I want to really read and study the book cover to cover.
For me a bible is a very good storybook that as lot of different culture stories and traditions and the value is reading the story, trying to understand the history context/timeline and learn the message and application, if any.
As for any book, if you don’t read it, you are not using it for what was made for.
Bible collector here! 🙌 I use many different Bibles for various reasons. I also like to dedicate specific usage to each Bible, e,g., Bible Garden, prayer, devo, study, promises of God, etc as well as read through specific study Bibles like Battlefield of the Mind Bible or have different translations of one Bible. I have 30+ and I just asked for an updated NLT Life Application Bible for Mother’s Day. The version I have is the older NLT. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm gonna have to research what a Bible garden is!! All of these terms are new to me in the last six months 😊 I love having a Bible devoured for study ND one for prayer, etc. Be blessed!! ❤️
Nicki Drake-CrazySimpleTruth I got the idea for a Bible garden from Cat Woods here on RUclips. She also does Bible reviews and decorates all of her Bibles beautifully. ❤️❤️❤️
I think I watched one of her videos one day! Ill check it out 💚💙
I understand your desire for more Bibles......I have sooooooo many.....I wanted for everyone in my family to have a Bible from me with a ll my notes and coloring and journaling.....my mama had one Bible and my middle sister had it, well, her house caught on fire and she lost everything.....including mama's Bible. So that day is when I decided to have many and when I get a new one, I start fresh from the beginning so they will all have a keepsake from me. I have more than a dozen, some are packed up because we are building a new place. I can't wait to see them all again!!! Hahaha I really enjoyed this video......nice to know I have some Bible hoarder sisters out there!!!😂💜🙏
I went to a bookstore where I live and I found a bible that has a synopsis of each bible book it's very easy for me to understand to help me on my Christian Journey I'm very happy that I found you are a great mentor thank you Nicki
Awe Amanda, I'm so glad you found me too!! Blessings! 💛🧡
I live in Michigan and there are a lot of bookstores I can't wait to check them all out oh btw I have 11 bibles
😂 beginning is funny.
I love bibles too. ❤️ Thanks for confirming that it’s ok to be a bible hoarder.
Video was funny and Interesting 😊
Thanks for watching Francina!! ❤️
I had always had a variety of Bibles....cause I love my Bibles and translations....i want to hold them in my hands and touch the Scriptures. I have been Bible Journaling all my life, it seems, but the last 3 years I also caught the Bible Art Journaling bug and studying the Word took on a new life. 5 years back I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration and for a few years I didn’t notice many changes, but had to have eye injections in both eyes every month for a few years. It was helpful but the disease doesn’t go away, only advances. Now, today, I have a difficult time reading especially black on white print. I have 2 LARGE PRINT INSPIRE BIBLES FOR JOURNALING. I am not an artist but have learned to be creative. I have been covering the designs on my pages lately with white gesso because I can’t follow the designs very well anymore. But I won’t give up and will keep on keeping on as long as the Lord gives me any sight. I do my reading and studying now on my iPad. Sure doesn’t feel the same but, glory be, the Scriptures don’t change!
What an inspiring testimony you have ❤️ ouch....eyeball injections sound horrid. 😬 So true about the scriptures no matter how we get them, even if you eventually have to only listen to them they always seem to teach us new things and bless us!! Praise God for technology. 🙌
Cookie Giblin love you,, a tip from me try highlighting pages with bible highlights this makes it easier to read, I have misties from a displaced lens hugs and only one eye.
Diane Dukes Thank you, I will try that. ❤️😎
Your story is amazing and inspiring. God bless you
Great video!😊 from a fellow Bible hoarder.👍😆❤️
I got my first "grown up" bible less than a year ago, (had an unknown translation since childhood that I still read) it was an NIV study bible which I loved and still do but soon after I heard so much controversy around the NIV and I have a friend who is very anti NIV so she gave me a KJV it's a beautiful cover, lovely paper ect but it's just too hard to read I can't understand most of it so then I got a free NKJV from a church, again it's pretty but i don't find it much easier to read than the regular kjv but i can and do read it, it's my "going out" bible as it's fairly streamlined. Then I bought the amplified version as I loved reading that on the bible app, I use it more as a reference bible especially when something in one of the other translations really speaks to me. I currently have an NLT study bible on it way to me! I wonder how many I'll have this time next year! I know at some stage I'd like to get a NKJV study bible and some sort of pocket bible
I have one that is my absolute favorite , the back section of my Bible fell out many years ago and the last two pages of Revelation are taped in not the best job !
I have a few Bible's and some study Bibles, journal ones ,no room ones
The journaling Bibles and the no room Bible's have a variety of things going on
I have one Bible that has nothing in it and I plan to use it for your workbooks , and if Amazon discontinue selling them find another company that will! Never give up on your workbooks
I prefer to say...I am a Bible collector lol. Ok I know I'm a hoarder, but collector sounds soooo much better.😊 I am so glad you are getting an affliate to Christianbooks...I buy from there all the time, so now when I do, I can bless you too. Loved the feature at the beginning of this video🤗. Oh, I love the HCSB Bible version, even though its been replaced by the CSB which I am not as fond of. Im looking for a Life Application Bible, been praying for a good opportunity sale. I hope it will be my last Bible for a while. 🤞God bless.❤
Bible Collection does sound much better!! 💙💜💚
I didn't realize the CSB and the HCSB aren't the same thing. I'll have to check out the history on that. It's always interesting to see when they created and or changed a Bible version 😊 learn something new everyday!!
Bonnie Ferrer collector! Hahaha!! I’m gonna use that!! 🤣
It's important to consider whether a Bible is based on Calvinism or predestination before purchase or even giving gifts.
That was so funny and so well done! Brilliant acting! You deserve an Academy Award for that performance!
I'm artist myself....God wants us be ourself when we come to him I feel like truly ourself when we come to him when we journaling
Hi Nicki, I really enjoy your You Tube videos, and it's so funny when you call yourself a Bible Hoarder, I am one to I love Bibles, I have so many and it seems when someone reviews one I have to get it, I have translations that range from Interlinear to the Message ( was curious to see what it was like) ESV, Amplified, NIV, NASB, the Evidence Bible, by Ray Comfort, King James, New King James, the Rainbow Bible, the Foundation Study Bible, CSB, and the NLT, It happens to be my favorite and some translations I have more than one of, so I would consider myself a Bible Hoarder and I love it.
I have 5 bibles lol... and I’m about to buy 2 more, I love reading different translations and study notes and putting all that and my thought in to one journaling Bible
I am the same way I believe I have at least 10 to 12 bibles I be got some at garage sales and store sales. If someone in the family or just a friend even a stranger that’s trying to change and in need of a Bible I’ll have one to give to someone in need. I love it
I pick and a few! But, what ever mood I’m in?! I just pick it, like pick my shirt of the day. I enjoy 😊 your a sweetie. God bless 🌸
I’m getting the Quest Study Bible in the mail soon. I’m so so so excited to get it and study from it! 🥰❤️
The Quest Bible study is awesome! You'll love it! Blessings, Nicki ♥️
I have 45 bibles! Some women buy shoes; I buy bibles! My current fave is one that is out of print - Women of Faith Study Bible. Second fave is Quest at the moment.
I like my Quest too!! Girl with that many Bibles you need to become one of my Crazy Simple Study Sisters!!
I have about 25 or so Bibles. My husband was a minister for over 25 years!
I think I have between 10 & 15?! Lol! First I had regular print, then I had to upgrade to large print! Ugh!! Then as I started watching more RUclips videos I bought bibles in different translations, the Jesus bible, a journaling bible (which I love! I’m not an artist!! But I do love the extra room for notes.)
I am going to try & take a break from buying new bibles & save up for a really, really nice one. One that will last a lifetime & can be handed down to my daughters someday. As far as a study bible, I have NIV & NLT. A church I went to used the NLT & I liked being able to follow along. The NLT is very easy to understand. I like having a few translations & sometimes I have them all opened up on my bed, reading each translation til I understand completely. As for the internet, I like it especially if I know part of a verse & not sure where it’s at in the Bible. I can put in just part of the verse & find it. I’m like you, I like the physical bible. Same with planners, I like an agenda I can write in. Don’t ask me how many planners I have! 🤦🏼♀️
I LOVE to compare versions too!! It gives the scripture so much more clarity sometimes!!!
Great video ❤
I'm a bible hoarder too! 😳😂😳
I have about 50.....lol
Oh wow!! I can totally see why people want lots!! There are so many different ones!! There are several I want right now ♥️♥️
Hi my name is Kimberly and I take my bible with me to church every Sunday morning 🌞.
I own one of the oldest study Bibles out there. It’s called the Ryrie Study Bible. I own it in the New American Standard Bible but it’s available in the King James Version as well. I have the MacArthur Study Bible in both the NKJV & the ESV. I also own two other non-study Bibles in the ESV. There’s a slight difference between the two ESV Bibles. One is ESV. The other is called ESVUK. The UK 🇬🇧 is anglicised, meaning the word spelling is the British spelling. You can find both ESV types on Bible Gateway. I like the UK 🇬🇧 version because we lived in England 🏴 for three years and my wife and I quickly learned British English.
I'm a Bible collector, too - of Study Bibles, but I only have one journaling Bible. Every Bible helps my spiritual growth.
Have you considered cutting off the cover of a Bible, getting the pages hole- punched (Office Depot, Kinko's,...) and making a notebook Bible? That way you could expand forever.
Great idea!!
A good 35 bibles. I use different ones at different times. I just got the ESV Study Bible and Wow is it something!!!
Does hoarding Bible's extend to how many translations I've downloaded in the Bible app?😂 Our house has 8 Bible's, of those 3 are mine, 3 are from family that has passed (1 in German), 1 is a children's Bible and the other is my husband's. My favorite Bible that I use all the time is the NIV Quest Study Bible that I got from one of our pastor's last year. It's AMAZING!!
Do you have any suggestions on study Bible's for men? My husband's Bible is just a cheap NIV we got on Amazon when we really came to Christ last year. I would like to invest in one for him for Father's day.
❤️
I have 4 bibles right now. My first Bible was the Good News Bible which I got from my church when I turned 10. Then after college when I got born again I got me an ESV version. Love the ESV in terms of readability. I also have an RSV which I just found in my church while we were setting up for virtual worship. I dont really read out of that much if I'm being honest. Then my girlfriend gave me a beautifully antique copy of the King James bible which I absolutely love. I was surprised that the language isnt as dense or as difficult to understand as I first thought. But that one I would say is my primary Bible for reading and taking to church right now. One thing I really like about the Good News Bible right now is each book has a summary at the beginning and an explanation of where it fits in the overall biblical narrative and I've found those to be very helpful. I dont have an honest to God study bible tho. I'm looking for one maybe in the NIV or ESV. But I've mostly been one to just read the word and see what I can get out of it myself then maybe look up some sermons from other pastors on that passage. But that's just me. I appreciate this video. My parents are definitely judging me for owning so many Bibles at this point lol
We are currently living in a travel trailer. I think between my husband and I, we have 8 Bibles/study Bibles in the trailer with us. Most are different versions. In storage, I can quickly think of an additional 4, which are ones that I keep thinking, “I wish I had …because I need it for…” whatever study notes it has or version it is.
The funny thing is that the number of Bibles in the trailer, I had to increase a couple of times because I would remember that we bought some different versions. 😂😂😂
Wonderful video :) I have 6 and I'm sure I will end up having more
I have 14 Bibles. I like the ESV study Bible. My son has the archeology study Bible in ESV and it's pretty awesome.
I am a bible hoarder I dont know how many bibles I have. But I want more bibles.
I want more too!!! 🤦🏻♀️
I have decided it’s a good thing to collect and use!! 💕
Wow, this is one of your older videos, but I was told I needed to change my bible translation. I have been studying and reading the NLT for about 15 years, maybe longer. When I first became a Christian I had The Message Version. I decided to get into the NLT because I understood what I was reading better than the KJV. I now have 27 bibles, many different versions, but still like my NLT. I decided to look at a few people I regularly watch to see what thoughts they had on Versions and such. I will be praying over the versions and ask God to guide me in a decision of what version is best for me.
The NLT is a great version for beginners and foe passages that are confusing or hard to grasp. I use it as a translation comparison almost daily, but I use the ESV and HCSB as my main translations. :)
I love the note taking bible with the cloth because I like the lacy look.
The one bummer about the cloth is mine is so light colored that it's dirty on the binding edges and it doesn't wipe off. Other than that, my cloth note taking Bible is super pretty!! 💚 Be blessed Tina!! 💙
I think of John 8:31 "If you continue in My Word then you are my disciples indeed." --Watching this video I see that you've got that covered!😃👍
16 bibles and i want more.... i have 9 study bibles and i have no idea witch one is my favorite.
I want more!! I want an AmP version and a KJV and so many others!! I’m hooked!!
Hi my name is Kimberly and I take my bible to church with me every Sunday morning 🌞
Bless you sister! Jesus tells us salvation is free!!!
No price of addmititon!!! Only those who believe are addmited.
Hahahaha love the video I collect bibles too and love Bible jounneling and I have helped bring afew people to Christ by what I do as they love what I do they are all my babies I just fasnated by them loving god's word they all teach you something different and I love to study and I too love a book in my hand that's just me I get excited by bookstores great video xx 💕
I am definitely a bible horder! I lost count of how many I own, My favorites are the Life Application Study Bible in KJV and NLT!
I am really enjoying the life application study Bible. I've only had it a few weeks and it's been so helpful!!
I have 4 bibles. My main bible, my old one, a coloring one, and one I bought without researching and don’t like.
That's awesome Candice!! I bet the coloring one is really fun!!
I'm not a Bible hoarder. Not one has every called me that. I have two bibles. I keep one in my vehicle. The outside cover is a little ripped up and my mom bought me a study Bible.
I personally have four Bibles (3 NIV's and 1 NRSV). Just ordered a ESV single column journaling Bible large print. My husband also has four including the Interlinear Bible, Apologetics Bible and Archaelogist Bible which we share.
If you go to my website www.crazysimpletruth.org there is a large Christianbooks webbsite ad, side bar, that you can click on, and order from to help me out 😊 every little bit helps my ministry & os so appreciated!!
Can’t wait until you get approved by Christianbook.com!
You signing up to be a reviewer for them?
Hi Nicki…..could you direct me to the video with your fruit-loop tabs. I love how they are at different levels and would love to try that. Tia.
Life application is my favorite and bible that lead me to Christ....I love bible journaling....
I thought it was me, but now I'm collecting more Bibles too.
Wish I could find journaling Bible where I live 💖
I created an Interleaved Journaling Bible for the Book of Proverbs that you can get in pdf version so you can journal in it!!
Wow. I am a bible collector too. I read one this week a different one each time. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your journaling looks so funny. Am jealous.
Myself I have Note-Takers Bible. A little different from Note-Taking Bible.
Just counted eleven Bibles and I have one coming from Amazon. So it will be twelve in all.
There are two I totally wore out and three I gave away. Not sure that counts.
I forgot my Chronological Journaling Bible, so I will have thirteen Bibles very soon.
Funny thing is, I'm minimalist with everything but Bibles and coffee mugs.😆
Wow you are lucky someone giving you a bible that is wonderful cause they can be pricey
I'm right there with you! 🙌🏻😁
Yes, one can have too many Bibles. I've already been through that season. Lack of contentment can hit in a variety of areas.
I see myself headed in your direction 📚📕📖📕📚📚📕📖📕📚📕📖📚
I have never counted them but I have every version there is. I currently am reading the NLT which is parallel with the KJ bible. Good balance. Any question I have I go to the interlinear bible which is a direct translation and read the scripture in question.
I have a mixture of English and Spanish Bibles.
That's awesome!! I'd love to be able to read both! I took french classes in highschool .....not very practical, I realize now. Lol 😊 Be blessed Raquel
Hoarding bibles might really be a huge problem for people affected by it. No joke.
Many are probably hoarding books as well.
You are so much fun!
Lol you had me worried. Because I too am a bible hoarder I'm always buying bibles and my husband is like how many bibles to u need. And my answer is as many as It takes lol.
Same here.
This resonates with me... I have 21 Bibles at the time of writing this
40 at home. Probably another 20 in my office at church!
I don't know if you will see this, but I was wondering if you would ever consider selling one of your already written doodled bibles? I would love to see your Journaling and learn from you.
That's so sweet. I'd have to think on that one. 😉
@Nicki Drake (CrazySimpleTruth)
Well, if you ever consider I'd be glad to purchase! God bless🥰
I have 4. I think. Study Bible I have is John McArthur and Life Application
You are silly lol. Loved the video. Keep it up 🙂
Thank you for doing this ! I have like 10 bibles, I have the KJV That is originally my mom's, qnd I tried to read that first, because it's for kids, (I was 26, and I thought it would be easy ) but nah, it was very very hard, and I quit.... because I didn't understand it ... then I went a couple months and gave up, then I had some old teen bibles from my church when I was a kid, I tried to study them, but I wasn't into it, and then I started looking up, why is it so easy for people to read the Bible and I can't!?!well, I realized that there were different versions! KJV , NIV, ESV, and oh man, did that change ge my world ! I found a Bible that I could understand, and I have read about 15 books ! And I study them also ! Qnd , I started with a small Bible, but it wasn't enough room for notes, so I bought a bigger Bible, then I got a study bible, then I got a Journaling Bible, then I got a travel Bible, I have about 10 bibles now !!! and I have been feeling bad, because I've become a hoarder, but I feel like, I'm going through this Bible fast, and I want to re read the Bible again, or go back in a different process with the other bibles I have, and the bible I'm working on right now, is for my daughter, I'm taking notes in it so she doesn't get all confused like I am and it will be easier for her
Cool, I have around 10-12 Bibles. My favorite is the Salem Kirben Prophecy Bible.
Hey Nikki,
I almost forgot, during the pandemic most universities are offering free courses and certificates. Also when I went to your website the printables are bunched together.
Hmmmm. I'm not sure why. I suggest you click on each individual image and save them to your computer and then print from there ♥️
Well, I don't feel so bad any more I have 12.5 bibles (at least that are not tucked away) I rarely use a study bible, only if I am not able to make the conection from one scripture to another to figure it out and after using the strong's. Sometimes I will read the notes in my study bible for more of a cultural understanding. I have used the Quest Study Bible years ago; right now I have The Women's Study Bible or I may go to the commentaries on biblehub.com. I use the You Version app a ton for on the go and for listening to the bible. (Btw my half bible is a NT with psalms and proverbs)
Wow that's great.. I dont even have one yet...❤ the reason is..I don't know which one I should get because I'm really new at trying to read the bible.. still trying to learn..
Lisa tomorrows video will be PERFECT for you! I compare my 2 favorite study Bibles and show their features! A good study Bible is essential for beginners!
👋 Hi my name is Angela and I’m a Bible Hoarder. And loving it. 25 +🤦♀️😍🥰
Oh wow! You're way beyond my count!! Lol. There are so many good ones! It's easy to want more!
How I wish I had so many beautiful sisters in Christ to share my life with.
You should join our online Bible study community!! That's where I met my precious sisters in Christ!!
I have about 20 Bibles
I’m old school physical books and paper/pen kind of person no technology is good it takes away of physical and mentally thinking skills and knowledge of what you learn in life if people don’t read and write it’s not learning if you have technology taken care of it for you it’s not learning the same way I enjoy reading physical books in general
I have oodles of Bibles!! Happy Im not the only one. I give my g-kids a Bible and a purity ring on their 12th birthday. I want them all to have something special from their Meme and Papaw. I buy everybody a Bible that needs one. I bought all my kids one to. =)
I just saw this and I must confess y'all I have a Bible addiction 🤣😂🤣 I have ummm 13 all different. KJV, study Bible, NLT, etc ... I have like two concordances and I'm a newbie lol 😂😂😂
I now how 5! Will it ever stop? Now I want that leather one with the leaves you have
That one is still my favorite!!! 😍
It could be much worse than hoarding Bibles ...like cats or something !! I think it’s rather awesome to be a Bible hoarder, I just recently started doing this myself! I can’t wait to obtain more of them !!
Cats 😂😂😂😂
Yes I HOARD Bibles, bought about 15 or more last year. Please show me how you use your Bibles
I hope to have that many one day! I am in LOVE with God's Word and there are sooooo many fun ways to enjoy and read it! 🧡💛🧡
how refreshingly funny xxx
