New Bible

How many Bibles can one person have? I only had one until I went to a Christian school. From then, when I was 9 years old, to now I've probably acquired more than ten Bibles. My version of choice is the ESV (English Standard Version). That's what my church teaches from and what I use in my personal reading and studying. My first ESV was paperback, probably cost about $5 and I think it was written for teenagers, but I just wanted to try it out. Then I got one, also cheaply, that's not much bigger than an index card. It's embarassing to hold my Bible two inches from my face in church, so I decided I needed another one. I also have an ESV study Bible but it has so many notes, it's a few inches thick. I'd rather not carry THAT around either. (Sorry, I'm picky). So I got the perfect (haha) Bible from Lifeway today. I love the color and the size.

It's a burgundy color which isn't extremely girly, but it's still pretty. It's a great size.

The words aren't too small, but not too big.

Great thickness.

And it fits with my notebook and little devotional book perfectly. It also fits perfectly into my new basket, which I wrote about here.

 I'm grateful that the Bible is complete and available to me, in whatever size, shape, etc... I can choose. Works great for such a choosey person. :)
