MY REVIEW:

I really like this Bible! I love the soft, leather-like blue cover. It feels so good in my hands and it's not too heavy. I can't handle heavy books any longer, so having a Bible that doesn't hurt when I carry it is a great thing for me.

The font is really nice and not too small. It's very easy to read and I like the version of the CSB. One of my favorite Scriptures is Psalm 91:4 and here it is in this Bible:

"He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield."

I really like how this reads. The whole of the Bible is like this and I like how really easy it is to read.

There are study notes at the bottom of each page to explain the text. The font on these notes is quite small, just so you know. I can read it, however, it's a bit of a struggle for me. If you have good, up-close eyesight, it may not be a problem but if you're a bit older like me, you may need to use something to help you read it easier.

The beginning of each chapter has information about what you're reading, who wrote it, and the circumstances under which it was written. I thought this was really helpful as I read through each book.

There are wonderful, colorful maps in the back that have a lot of information. I really enjoyed this, too, because I like to see where things are taking place as I'm reading. The maps are really easy to read and I think they are one of the best maps I've seen in a Bible.

I can highly recommend this Bible! I have enjoyed using it so much during my morning Bible study. It has helped me to understand Scripture easier. I give this Bible 5 out of 5 stars.
