Throughout the 10+ years that I have been doing book reviews, I have had the chance to review many great Bibles. As such, people often ask me: what is the best Bible to get?

Sounds like a simple enough question, but it's not quite so simple to answer. My response is generally very simple: 'The best Bible is the one that YOU will read.' Vague as that may sound, it's the absolute truth. I could spend hours telling you all about the Bibles that I love, and why it works for me... and you may find that it doesn't fit your needs at all. Each one of us has different things they are trying to get out of their Bible reading and different ways of learning, and as such we all can benefit from different types of Bibles.

My husband and I are prime examples of this. I am more of a devotional or journaling Bible type of person, whereas he thrives on history and facts. For him, the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible is an ideal choice. It is packed full of great information to better gain an understanding of the times and places that these events took place. This can truly help us see the bigger picture and understand Biblical stories in a more complete way. The images found throughout are absolutely stunning, and while I may not be the history buff that my husband is, I found them quite fascinating myself. It's not the first Bible I've seen with information about the places and times, nor is it the first illustrated Bible I'd seen either.... but it truly might just be them most aesthetically pleasing to me!

If you're looking for a great Bible for the history buff on your list, this is certainly one to check out!
