NIV Journal Bible
A journaling bible that I am sure will help you dive into the word better! Review: If you are like me and have never owned a journaling Bible, this would be a great first Bible to start with. I have written tons of notes in my previous bibles, but this was always very hard because there was almost no room to write. I then decided to write my notes on pieces of paper, but this made my Bibles very heavy, and it was often hard to keep my notes from falling out. When I received this Bible to review I could not help myself from diving into reviewing this Bible.…

QOTD: Hardcover or Paperback Books?
For me this is a fairly easy question to answer, I would pick hardcover over paperback. This is because I feel as though, in the long run that is, the book will be better protected. I say this because after a while my paperback books begin to fall apart and not hold up as well. I have some books that use to be my Dads books that are starting to fall apart with their age. The thing I also love about hardcovers is the fact that you do not have to worry as much about messing up the cover. You are able to fully open the book without the worry…
