The first thing I
noticed about this Bible is the attractive cover. It does look like a
journal. The background color is turquoise with a snowflake type
design in gold, white and bright pink. The turquoise ribbon marker
carries through the theme. The Bible is held closed with a bright
pink elastic strap.
The pages are bright
white with inch-and-a-half lined margins for journaling, or just
jotting notes. The pages, like most Bibles are very thin and the
print is small, but quite readable. The attractiveness of the Bible
entices you to read and think about what you’re reading.
There is a table of
contents listing the books of the Bible and a second one listing them
in alphabetic order. The only additional material is a table of
Weights and Measures at the end and a preface at the beginning. The
preface is fairly standard for an NIV Bibles
discussing the
translation philosophy.
Although this Bible
is marketed with an eye toward teen-age girls, it is appropriate for
any age. There are other NIV Bibles for journaling, Crossway has one,
but the cover art makes this one special.
I highly recommend
this Bible if you’re looking for a gift for a young girl, but it
would make a wonderful gift for anyone.
I received this book
from Handlebar for this review.
