Looking for a New Bible?

Hello Friends!

What kind of bible do you use? That is a question I hear from a lot of people. There are so many bibles to choose from and WOW the choices. Have you even went into the book store lately and looked? I am sure if you have you were overwhelmed.
There are as many translations as there are different kinds of bibles. Marketing seems to appeal to all kinds of consumers such as women, men, outdoorsman, illustrators, mothers and don’t forget the options of leather, hard bound, cloth linen, as well as bibles from very popular bible study shops like She Reads Truth .

Here are few popular ones I have seen lately The Jesus Bible , ESV Study Bible , and if you like to illustrate or color this bible you might like the Beautiful Word Bible .

I have used different bibles over the years but the ones I really like are the not so heavy in weight and easy to read. I usually go with English Standard Version or ESV.  As I study,  I can always refer to different translations online like using Bible Study Tools which is so much easier and cheaper than actually having a different bible on hand.

Do you do that too? I feel like online study tools are so easy to find and refer to. I mean you technically could read the bible online and not own a physical copy. The draw back to that I see is taking notes in the margins or highlighting important words for later study although you techy people probably know how to do all that stuff on your device. Right? LOL

As far as your next bible purchase I would suggest these 3 things

1. Get a bible you can read and has a literal translation of the original text.  Does not change the Word of God.

2. Get one that you love the color and over all design so you will want to carry with you. (Not heavy maybe?)

3. Get a bible with you desired print size. (Large or Regular print)

4. Most important get a bible that you will read and enjoy learning God’s Truth!

My latest bible purchase is the The New Inductive Study Bible .   I am attending the Precepts Ministries Fall Women's Confernce in a few days and so excited to learn how to study the bible inductively.
Kay Arthur is the founder of Precepts Ministries. She and others on her team teach the inductive method for studying the bible. I personally have not used this method until now.  I think as we grow in our relationship with the Lord and seasons change in our lives different methods are a good thing.

Share with me your bible you are using right now? And what methods help you in your daily walk?

I really hope this helps you in finding your next bible.

I would love to see your bible and say hello! Come follow me over on Facebook or Instagram

Bring on Fall

Hello friends!

Fall has finally arrived in Tennessee.  Today was so cool I had to cozy up in a sweater and that is exciting for me.  The leaves on the trees are turning shades of red, yellow, and copper. We don't live in the Eastern part of TN where the mountains display the trees in grandeur but our Western part is still beautiful nonetheless.

As the temperatures drop, I am even more inspired to knit. The shop has a few colors leaving because I am sold out so that means new ones will be showing up!


Here is one I am excited to show you.

It is called Truffle Shuffle. I am thinking the word 'rejoice' for this cuff. What do you think?

I have to say you guys design the best bracelets.  Some of my best sellers are the ones You designed. I am grateful for each of you helping me in this creative journey.  hAndmade knits by trAcy would not be what it is if I did not have faithful friends like you returning to the shop and encouraging me.  I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.


The other things happening around here is that I have started a new bible study. It is called the Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer.  If you read last months post  where I read her book Fervent , then you know how powerful a message it is.  I highly recommend one or both books.  I know the power of prayer works and am excited to dig deeper into God's Word about it.

Will you be joining me in bible study? Or have you already done it? Please share with me.
