NIV My Journal Bible--hardcover, turquoise with elastic closure

I was pleasantly surprised when we opened the package. We received the Turquoise Bible with the pink elastic band. Turquoise is my favorite color, so I was excited for my daughter. The outside of the Bible has a really pretty gold foiled whimsical pattern on the outside cover.

The Journaling margins allow for creativity and personalization of the scriptures. This is the perfect resource for any young girl or teen interested in Bible journaling or Bible illustrating. I gave the Bible as a gift to my daughter for Christmas and she loved it.

Thank you HandleBar for the complimentary copy of The Holy Bible for Girls NIV Journal Edition by Zondervan.

The Holy Bible for Girls is a New International Journal Edition by Zondervan. The hard-back Bible is covered in a whimsical turquoise blue with butterflies, flowers, and snowflake-like decorations. Besides the traditional place holder ribbon which is a matching aqua, the Bible also boasts a pink elastic band for holding the Bible closed or keeping papers in place.

Each page has lined columns for easy note taking and a table of weights and measures is included at the back of the book.

This is an ideal book for the young girl who appreciates the whimsical cover and is just beginning to take an interest in journaling or notetaking in her Bible.

For adults, the whimsical cover is feminine without being childlike, and the side columns are a third of the page wide for more detailed note taking.

The size is a comfortable size for carrying by hand or in a bag, with a strong binding that is wide enough the pages stay open easily.

If you are looking for something a little different than the traditional solid colored Bible, this Bible geared toward the female Bible reader, is a good option.

Not long ago I received the NIV journal edition Bible and it have loved it since! What makes this Bible stand apart from other bibles? Well for me its right there in the title journal edition its oversized margins on every single page makes it so easy for me to jot down different thoughts or draw a pretty picture to remind me of the way that I felt when I read a specific passage. I really love this Bible and have enjoyed doodling and writing in it since I got it!

My Holy Bible for girls is a new Bible in the New International Version which features a journal edition. This Bible has a unique cover that appeals to the younger set. It is designed to reflect on God's Word and you can add your own thoughts, art and color to your favorite verses. What a fun way to make this Bible your own and personalize it while reading and studying God's Word. This Bible also have thicker paper for writing with pens or pencils. There is a How to Use this Bible page and details how to get started which is a great feature.

This Bible was a Christmas gift to my 11 year old granddaughter along with colored pencils and she was really impressed with how "girly" it looked. She especially liked the journaling part where she could draw or write on the lines. The best book you can put in a child's hand is a Bible and this was especially cool for girls.

We have lots of Bibles in our household and the majority of them are read, at least I hope they are! Although my daughter already has a Bible of her own, I was drawn to this one. I am a writer and I have instilled in my children the necessity of writing well. With that in mind, "Journal Edition" jumped out.

This beautiful hardcover NIV edition by Zondervan contains the complete NIV text. What is different about this one, however, is that there are nicely lined margins on each page of Scripture on which girls can journal their thoughts. As they read a passage, those thoughts, and possible sermon notes, get put on the page as they see fit. When they have read and re-read this Bible, hopefully they will notice how their own maturity and wisdom concerning the Scriptures developed over time. I love it.

I gave this Bible to my daughter (15 years old, so not exactly just for tweens) for Christmas. She loves it and I notice that she has begun bringing this edition to church with her. She is a great journal believer so I believe it was the right thing for her.

As for me, I have Bibles in different translations, the NIV being one of them. I am glad that my daughter has a copy that she can understand and that she WANTS to read. As an aside, I love the elastic that keeps this particular edition close and looking cute.
