Read the Review
It's 2019 and I am so excited for another year of blogging!
Along Came A Bookworm is now 3 years old, and I am thankful for the journey it has been and the great books we've found along the way! It has been neat to see how Along Came A Bookworm has progressed (my first reviews are not impressive...don't go back and read them ;) ). Initially a way for me to get free books (no shame...that was why I started reviewing), this blog has now developed into a resource for women, college students, fellow mamas, and any other follower of Jesus to find books that are Christ-centered, Scripture-based, and worthy of reading. I have loved finding and sharing Christian books that are worth your time to read, and cannot wait for another year of learning, growing, and walking with the Lord alongside you! New since my last review in December...I'm now a reviewer for Crossway publishers! My little heart jumped for joy when I saw this beautiful Bible available for review, and I've been excited to share about it!
The ESV Illuminated Bible (Art Journaling Edition) is a stunning, green and gold hardcover Bible designed to reflect the beauty of the Word it contains. With gold-coated page edges, thick creamy pages, and over 500 hand-lettered gold ink illustrations by Dana Tanamachi (Google, Target, The Wall Street Journal, and others have featured her work!), this Bible truly is a work of art. The lovely illustrations are perfect for painting/coloring, the wide margins leave ample room for journaling, and the thick pages help prevent any writing from bleeding through. With a single column format and large 9-point font (which is large for a Bible!), the words in the Illuminated Bible are easy to see and read! The back of this Bible contains an index with each of the title page illustrations (the drawings at the beginning of each book of the Bible) along with a brief description of each book. These brief summaries would be so helpful for anyone looking to get a brief idea of what each book in the Word is about. And the title pages are absolutely gorgeous! Dana Tanamachi took such time and thought into each of these drawing, and they are beautiful! Check out a few of my favorites... My rating? 5/5
This Bible is available in magenta and navy in addition to the green, and is an incredible price for its beauty and quality. I don't usually look up prices before I write my reviews, but I thought this Bible might be too expensive for me to recommend to my college students or friends on a budget. So I was blown away to see it only costs $30! For the beauty and quality, this is a fantastic price. I could see this Bible being great as a family Bible, or for anyone who enjoys journaling/coloring/painting during their time with God in His Word! *I received a free copy of this Bible from the publisher in exchange for my honest, unbiased review!
