But, I will say that having an actual Journaling Bible is really nice to have, and worth the money; especially if you like the idea of the art directly in your Bible. For myself, and most of my Bible journaling buddies, there is something special about having your art directly next to the verse or chapter you are meditating on. So what Journaling Bible do I get?

You appreciate the wide, blank margins provided for expressing yourself through writing and drawing

Hannah's previous Journalling Bible won Bible of the Year at the Christian Resources Together awards 2018. It was also nominated for the Eden.co.uk Bible Cover of the Year. The single-column setting and blank margins allow for plenty of room beside the Scriptures for your notes, drawings, stencilling and illumination, bringing a new depth and imagination to your quiet times. Bibles that have the designs printed in the margins are great for beginners or those who don’t feel they have the artistic talent to make their own. (Though I will always encourage you, that anyone has the talent to do their own- see THIS POST HERE for more on that.) The pre-illustrated Bibles also have a lot of blank margins as well if you are on the fence. This Bible is published by Christian Art Publishers. It’s available at a budget-friendly price, and it offers beautiful features for writing and artwork. The translation is the King James Version. For many people, the poetic rhythms of the beautiful language in the King James translation are most inspiring.
