Beautiful journaling Bible in easy carry size
The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls Gift Set would be a wonderful gift for young woman in the eight to twelve-year-old age range. This Bible is not only pretty but it comes with 4 colored pencils and six sticker sheets in the gift set, which is also beautifully boxed. This Bible has thick white paper that is designed to be used for writing or drawing with wide, lined margins for notes and reflections. The print is dark and an easy-to-read Comfort Print typeface that is 8-point type. This Bible also lays flat when opened fully. Some of the pages have lines in the margin and others have Scripture picture verses to color. There are also some pretty full page pictures to color. I think any colored pencils would be fine for this Bible. I have not tried pens or markers but they may be okay to use without bleed through if you test a small corner since the pages are fairly thick. The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls measures 8.25 by 8.75 inches and is about 2 inches thick. It is a nice size to carry in a backpack or book bag. Even though this Bible is designed for young girls, I think it would be great for a woman of any age. I like it and it is a nice size to carry to church. I would definitely use it for myself. I received a copy of this Bible from the publisher as a member of the Bible Gateway Blogger Grid. #BibleGatewayPartner

Everyone Needs a Beautiful Word!
I am excited to share this Beautiful Word Bible because it is one of the nicest volumes of Holy Scriptures I have ever seen. The cover is an attractive teal color that has a soft leather feel, with a very pleasant touch. Every page is adorned with wide margins. The paper is a heavier weight that can withstand writing notes, and drawing designs. A number of the margins contain eye-catching line art just begging to be decorated. Most importantly of all, the trusted NIV translation is used for the scriptures, which are done in a comfort-print-font that is easy on the eyes. The size and weight of the Bible makes it easy to carry, and take wherever you are going. It has an attached satin ribbon marker that keeps track of your place. Additionally, it comes in a sturdy gift box along with four colored pencils, and six sheets of stickers perfect for adding interest to the scriptures and the drawings. Although this is marketed for girls aged eight to twelve, it really appeals to everyone. As a matter of fact, I would like it myself. I was happily surprised by the economical price point making this quality Bible affordable! This would appeal to anyone who would like to take their study of God’s word to the next level by adding your own notes and art work. It will create a treasured keepsake of God’s word. I highly recommend this 5+ star Beautiful Word Bible because everyone needs a Beautiful Word from the Lord.

Gorgeous Art Journaling Bible for Girls & All Ages
A spin off of the Adult Coloring and Bullet Journal trends, Bible Art Journaling has become a new creative outlet for many and is a great way to get into the habit of daily devotions and spending time in God's Word. This beautiful new Bible introduces the idea to younger readers and is a ready to go gift just in time for the holidays. After opening the sturdy purple pastel gift box, you'll find the Bible itself with a hardback leather-like cover (my copy was teal with navy and white stylized flowers and there are two other designs to choose from). There is a pocket on the side of the box that contains four twist-up color pencils in red, yellow, blue, and purple. I'd say they are around standard Crayola quality and because the lead twists up and down, you can prevent the tips from breaking when not in use and don't need a pencil sharpener. Perfect for when using on the go, at church, Sunday School, or Awana Club. There are about 38 black and white stickers contained on 6 sticker sheets. They are mostly encouraging Bible verse-related text and a few doodles (such as flowers) designs. The sticker paper is matte (reminiscent of plain address label paper) that you can customize by coloring and stick in your Bible or wherever you'd like. The Bible itself measures approximately 8 inches tall by 7 inches wide. This is due to the extra wide margins, so standard Bible covers/cases probably won't fit. The NIV text comes in the standard 8 pt. font and is a no frills affair: no notes or commentary other than NIV footnotes and each individual book of the Bible simply starts with consistent modern hand-lettered style title font. An alphabetized list of the books of the Bible is provided besides the traditional table of contents and a brief Letter from the Editor and Tips for Bible Art Journaling page accompanies the Preface. There are no maps or indexes at the back of the Bible, but a Table of Weights and Measures and 11 lined pages for notes are provided, along with an index of the 10 artists who illustrated the artwork in this Bible. Where this Bible stands out, of course, are the ready-to-color lineart --over 600 illustrated verses! The majority of the illustrations are printed in the wide margins, and as I flipped through, I rarely went two pages without seeing some art to color. Like the stickers, this is a nice feature because not everyone is confident or comfortable with their drawing skills, though there are lots of blank, lightly lined margins as well to take notes or jot down thoughts. While aimed at girls 8 to 12, the illustrations are on par with adult coloring books and aren't too "kiddy" at all --just right for tweens but even attractive to older adults as well, if my mother's reaction was any indication. There are also full page art and even a few double page spreads I came across while exploring this Bible! In addition, there is a great variance of designs and illustrations, it's not all flowers and hearts like I assumed it would be and actually, I'd say it's more nature and hand-lettered inspired art, so minus the packaging and cover, it could possibly have been a gender-neutral gift. I decided to test some of the pages with some of my bullet journal supplies. While they physically feel a bit thicker than my other Bibles, they are still Bible pages, so don't expect 50lb sketchbook paper weight. It is suggested that you utilize pens designed for Bibles or Bible Art Journaling or colored pencils to minimize ghosting (seeing what you colored or wrote on the opposite side of the page). However, the ghosting is moderate with little to no bleed through. With standard pressure, the colored pencils barely have ghosting. My cheap ballpoint pen and a slightly higher quality Pilot G2 both had moderate ghosting. Depending on the type of highlighter you use (and probably the color) they should have little to moderate ghosting. Overall, I'd say there's no reason why you can't use standard pencils, pens, and highlighters unless you really want to buy specialty items. This Bible would make a wonderful keepsake for a tween or teen girl to use and look back on over the years and as long as you or the receiver aren't put off by the "for girls" marketing, I'd daresay that it would make a wonderful Art Journal Bible for either gender and anyone 10 and older.

A Great Bible for Girls to Treasure!
Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls, is just what the cover says, a beautiful word Bible for girls to treasure. The feel of the cover alone makes this bible so special, then you open it to find the beautiful pictures to color inside! I myself, felt like it was something that could be enjoyed beyond the ages of 8 to 12 years old. I'm sure a teen would love to have this also. This a NIV Bible that comes along with stickers and coloring pencils. I know how older children can get during church and during those times they could actually color beautiful Bible passages. Learning while doodling is perfect! There is also a place for notes when they hear something that speaks to their heart. A great keepsake that any girl would love to have. What a wonderful gift for Christmas or Birthday for some special girl. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.

Beautiful Bible Gift Set
The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls has all the attributes I have come to expect from the Beautiful Word line – an attractive cover, a sturdy feel, convenience, plentiful illustrations, and a reliable translation. About the Bible: The Teal Leathersoft Over Board cover is attractive, modern, and likely to appeal to girls. The built-in bookmark makes it simple to find one’s place. The lay-flat binding allows the pages to open fully for coloring. Included in this gift pack, are four colored pencils: red, yellow, blue, and purple. A few more colors would have been nice, but there also sticker pages and tips for Bible art journaling. About the Illustrations: The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls boasts over 600 verses illustrated in ready-to-color line art. The illustrations offer variety: flowers, items, shapes, lettering, and plenty more. The pages without illustrations are lined for taking notes or jotting down thoughts. About the NIV version: A thorough preface addresses why the NIV version was chosen, the revisions that have occurred since the original product, the translation philosophy, and the formatting. I like that the translation has been updated to become more gender-inclusive. For example, Genesis 1:27 reads: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” While there are footnotes that provide clarity on the text, the NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls does not include any commentary or devotions. I especially like this because the Bible is intended for young people. Not having the commentary allows the girl to focus on the text and omits the denominational/societal biases that sometimes accompany commentaries. Final Thoughts: The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls is a gorgeous Bible suitable for tweens and up. I plan to pass this on to my daughter when she is older, but I might have to acquire one for myself!

Beautiful Bible
This is such a wonderful Bible for girls...and big girls, too! I really like this Bible a lot! It's especially created for girls aged 8 to 12, but I think teenage girls and adult girls will love it, too. It's lovely that there are ready to color illustrations. This allows the girl to get creative right away without feeling like she needs to be an artist. I love how this comes so beautifully boxed. It's perfect for keeping the Bible and all the pencils and stickers in. It will help your girl keep all her supplies together. The cover is soft yet durable. It's an adorable blue with fun drawings on it. Plus you get four colored pencils to start you on your way to creativity. Plus you get several sheets of stickers to use inside the Bible. These are really nicely done and make it fun to get creative in your Bible. One of my very favorite things about this Bible is that it has the Comfort Print 'Typeface Point 8, which makes it really easy to read and easy on the eyes. The whole point of our Bibles is to read them and if it's easy to read, it encourages our children to read. Being that it's the NIV version and the Comfort Print helps our children to read and understand it easily. I really like this Bible and it would make such a wonderful gift! With Christmas coming up, it would be a great thing to add to your list for any girls in your life. What a wonderful gift to give them! I can think of several girls that will love this under the tree. I highly recommend this Bible and give it 5 stars. *This Bible was provided to me by FlyBy Promotions. I received a copy of this book to review but I was not financially compensated in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based on my observations while reading this book.

A wonderful Bible for young girls
I remember going with my mom to select a Bible when I was in third or fourth grade. I distinctly remember the deep red cover I selected. But there were not many options back then, either for translation or even the style of the cover. While I probably would still have selected a different cover than this one if it had been available, I would have loved having this lovely Bible set. This is the full text of the Bible with a few footnotes. No other study materials are included, such as maps or introductions to the various books - that isn't the purpose of this Bible. The margins are nice and wide and those that do not have verses for coloring have faint lines for note taking that are subtle enough to not be obnoxious - yes, I've seen Bibles with dark lines for note taking and have not liked them at all! Having seen the number of quote images listed on the box cover (over 600), I still was unprepared for how many that is! There are so many! Not only are they in the margins, there are also full-page spreads! One of the things I like about this is how it highlights verses in every one of the books. I imagine the verses will draw attention to some of the Minor Prophets and could prompt an interest in learning what the entire Bible has to say. I was curious about how the pages do when coloring them so I tested the back of the last page. (After all, I don't want to color on pages that the girl I gift my copy to will want to use!) Using the purple pencil provided, I made a small heart underneath the copyright notice. I then drew a cross using a dark-colored pencil from a set I already own. When I turned to the other side of the page, I couldn't see either the text, the cross, or the heart. When I held the page up to the light, the copyright text showed up more boldly than the things I drew. So I consider this test passed. ;-) I was given a copy of this book. I was not required to give a favorable review nor was any money received for this review. All comments and opinions are my own.
