![]() I grew up using the New International Version (NIV), because it was the version recommended by my school for doing homework (where my Christian school friends at?). To be honest I don’t have a ton of insight into the differences in translations of the Bible. It’s an ESV, which stands for English Standard Version. You can get the exact Bible I have here.ġ. This ends up creating an ongoing collection right there in my Bible of the ways I’m learning from and interacting with the text, which is always encouraging and helpful to look back on! THE BEST JOURNALING BIBLEįor anyone else who is wanting to use a journaling Bible and looking for a great one, my top recommendation would be to get a Crossway books ESV Single Column Journaling Bible from The Daily Grace Co. Personally, I prefer a journaling Bible for day-to-day use, because I love being able to write notes and dates in the column as I read, and to highlight things that stand out to me in pretty colors. I do keep a study Bible at home for when I want to dig deeper into a particular passage ( this is the one I use)-but it’s a little large to lug around in my purse. There are countless great Bibles, study Bibles, and journaling Bibles out there-and at the end of the day no matter what Bible you’re reading, the important thing is that you are. To answer that question more thoroughly than I’m able to do in an Instagram comment or direct message, I figured it was time to write a blog post so I can share which Bible I use and where to get it. I often use such photos to convey a message on my heart, a quote I came across, or word of encouragement down in the caption, and because those types of posts make an appearance often, it isn’t any surprise to me that one of the questions I receive most is, “What Bible do you use?” – NKJV- Zondervan Beautiful Word Bible *This Bible’s illustrations are already colored in, there is no NKJV that I know of that comes in a coloring version.My Instagram feed is glittered with photos of my journaling Bible. – NIV- Zondervan Beautiful Word Colorin g Bible – ESV- Crossway Interleaved Journaling Bible– Cloth Cover Pre-Illustrated Journaling Bibles – ESV- Crossway Interleaved Journaling Bible– Leather Cover (This is my personal FAVORITE) – CSB- The Illustrating Bible (This Bible has 4″ margins and a spiral binding) Interleaved Journaling Bible – ESV- Crossway Single-Column Journaling Bible ![]() – KJV- Personal Reflections Journaling Bible Classic Single Column Journaling Bibles (Again, these are my preferred Journaling Bibles) – ESV- Crossway Double Column Journaling Bible Keep in mind that there are other cover designs available for these Bibles than the ones provided in my links. *This article contains Amazon affiliate links.

(Though I will always encourage you, that anyone has the talent to do their own- see THIS POST HERE for more on that.) The pre-illustrated Bibles also have a lot of blank margins as well if you are on the fence.īibles without the pre-printed designs are wonderful to be able to have your own freedom and space to create whatever you want (these are my preferred Journaling Bibles and also the most popular.)Ĭrossway ESV Double Column Journaling Bible The first question to answer is if you want to create all your own art, or have designs pre-printed that you can color/paint.īibles that have the designs printed in the margins are great for beginners or those who don’t feel they have the artistic talent to make their own.

For myself, and most of my Bible journaling buddies, there is something special about having your art directly next to the verse or chapter you are meditating on. ![]() A great way to get started is to use whatever Bible you have on hand and do your journaling in a separate notebook/journal!īut, I will say that having an actual Journaling Bible is really nice to have, and worth the money especially if you like the idea of the art directly in your Bible. They have thicker pages than a normal Bible, and wide margins (or full blank pages)! Do I need to spend the money on another Bible?Ībsolutely not!
