MY THOUGHTS

A beautiful package, The CSB Study Bible for Women is gorgeous with a pretty light sand/tourquoise cloth hardcover and every page is colored. Yes, every page, even the maps! Aesthetically pleasing, it really tugs at this girl's creative side.

 

I think the highlight of The CSB Study Bible for Women is the many extra features you'll find to make the "studying part" easier, more comprehensive, as well as thought-provoking. It's well organized and though I'm not familiar with this translation in comparison, it was easy to understand and did not hinder the devotional time. Personally, I particularly like the "Word Study" throughout that cover a variety of words more in depth - very similar to a concordance, as well.

In all, The CSB Study Bible for Women makes a great Study Bible. It's a little hefty in weight, but as a study Bible, it makes sense and works.

I'm back.... with Bible Giveaways

Image
Hello. I've hinted on my Instagram (@justcommonly) that I'm in the process of coming back after years away from blogging.  @justcommonly I had the very intention to be posting within a week of the first hint.  Yet life is full of surprises. As I was trying to reinstate my original blog (Just Commonly), I, unfortunately, had multiple technical issues due to the time length the blog was deactivated. Once I had it up and running, several "reports" had Google banned certain old posts, and eventually the blog itself. At this point, I had seriously doubted if it means I should just forget about it. Was my blog that bad and/or offensive that it was reported for malicious content and Google violations?  I submitted a review request, with the response that the blog link was no longer available to be reactivated. After some prayers and deliberation, I have changed the handle from justcommonly.blogspot to alwaysjustcommonly.blogspot.  I have uploaded and republished...

Choosing my Bible to work around migraine

Image
How did you choose your current Bible? Is this your first Bible?  I'll get into how I chose my current Bible, at least my main one. First, I would like to explain why I needed a new one. It all started with my determination to focus on reading the Bible if that's the only reading (and accomplishment) I get done in the day.  Since my migraine became chronic, reading had become unbearable for a variety of reasons associated with the symptoms.  This includes reading the Word, let alone studying it. In truth, there was a huge spiritual warfare going on during the time. That's another focus for another day.  My Bible has been with me for years. I loved everything about it, and to be unable to read it, I was frustrated and lost. Then an epiphany came on a lucid morning. By this time, I had already transition to mostly analog - physical planners, notebooks, minimal screen time on tablet, no TV and back to basic with my smart phone - mainly for calls and text between...
