CSB (in)courage Devotional Bible Review

I received a copy of this Devotional Bible for my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received my first KJV Bible around 7th or 8th grade and over the years, the pages have become marked with favorite passages, sermon notes, and verse references to link to passages of importance. I still use that Bible but have added a few to my collection over the years of varying size, translation, and purpose. One type of Bible I didn’t have was a devotional Bible and that is why I was excited to receive the CSB (in)courage Devotional Bible to review.

I am excited to share with you the amazing features and content that it provides. You will quickly come to see why I think this Bible is a must have for every woman who is looking to dive deep into the Scriptures and be inspired at the same time by God’s Word. After you check out all these features, make sure you head on over & enter to win one for yourself at Blessed Freebies.

The fifty women highlighted in the CSB (in)courage Devotional Bible are true Women of Courage and their stories help us to understand how God showed his love in each women’s life. The devotional Bible is written in the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB stays as literal as possible to the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message and to share it with others.

Included in the 312 devotions are 52 reflective devotions. These are designed to help the reader begin each week in God’s Word. Each devotion anchors the themed reading plans and includes reflection questions and journaling space. The devotions have been written by someone who has lived through the topic she addresses. These topics include all types of life changing events women go through from adoption to cancer to mission work. The women share how they met God’s love in the middle of their trials.

Each book of the Bible has an introduction to help readers understand the context that the book was written in and how it fits into the story of the Bible. It also helps to connect the book with our daily lives. This is essential when we are trying to understand how God’s words from so long ago are still relevant today.

Twenty verses have been highlighted throughout the Bible with beautiful designs to encourage readers to meditate on and memorize the truth of God’s Word. These themed verses serve as daily inspiration when going through tough times.

Lastly, the CSB (in)courage Devotional Bible includes journaling space with each page of Scripture to encourage readers to write down things learned, thoughts, and even inspiration they receive while reading and learning. These journaling spaces are lined and help keep personal notes and reflections right in the Bible so they are always there when you need them.
