I had used an NASB Inductive Journaling Bible for several years, and I wanted something which was easier to carry. I find this Bible very easy to read and the margins are generous for notetaking. At first, I missed that it does not include scripture references, but now I find that it makes the text very "uncluttered" and I add references as I find what relates in my personal study. I'm always in "study mode" when I begin reading, and revel in reading on-line commentaries with Bible in my lap. This Bible is also very well-bound but flexible enough to carry a pen around in.

This bible did not meet my expectations at all! The description says LARGE PRINT but the print is actually very small. And the columns are not wide enough to make decent notes. i would NOT have purchased this if i had seen it in a store.

I am enjoying using the journaling bible. I can make notes as I am reading. I dont have to have a separate journal for notes. They are all right at my fingertips

I purchased this Bible for several things, the version, readability, print font and line spacing, the color and weight of its pages, and the simplicity of it. I normally want references and notes, concordance, and introductions to each book. But for this one I wanted mere lines to use as a journal if I chose to write something. No clutter and it is perfect!

To me the whole point of a journaling Bible is accessibility, and having a single column enables me to make notes in the generous margins alongside the verse, the large print both means that I don't have to squint to read it and it affords space in the text to add comments such as cross references that I find helpful, and the soft cover is both durable and easy to hold. This is a first class journaling Bible with pages tick enough that ink does not bleed through, and the right kind of markers likewise stay on just the page that you've highlighted. I also recommend buying a good set of Bible mark-up pens to go with it.
