How do you study the Bible?
To be honest, there are many different methods and techniques to studying the Bible... and the best one? The one that works best for YOU. For me, I have found two things that have really made a big difference in my Bible study:
Taking notes/journaling.
If you've been around here awhile, you likely know that I'm a big supporter of Bible journaling. While I have mostly talked about Bible ART journaling, that's not the only type of journaling that I enjoy. Art journaling, writing personal reflections/prayers within my Bible's pages or taking notes from my Bible study... I've done them all! For me, taking notes from my Bible study right onto the pages of my Bible has been a tremendous help in helping to retain the information I'm learning.
Immersive reading.
For those unfamiliar with this term, it simply means listening to an audio version while reading along. For me personally, that means having a physical Bible in front of me for reading along and writing my notes while listening to the audio version. I retain information so much better when I can see the words in front of me, BUT there are times that I can get a little hung up on pronunciations of cities and people and such- let's be honest, the Bible is full of some unfamiliar ones- and it keeps me from fully grasping the stories as a whole. By using this combination, I am not only learning the proper pronunciation, but more importantly, I'm better able to focus on the point.
So, for me, a journaling Bible PLUS an audio Bible are a must. Today, I'm really excited to share with you a fantastic Bible that perfectly meets both requirement, the NLT Wide Margin, Filament Enabled. Take a look:
Use your creativity to respond to God’s Word.
This single-column, wide-margin New Living Translation Bible has 2.25″ lightly ruled margins, making this Bible great for note-taking, journaling, recording prayers, doodling, drawing, or any other creative expression of faith in response to God’s Word. Because it has full access to the Filament Bible app, it’s also part study Bible, part devotional.
I was recently given the opportunity to check out this Bible for myself... and oh what a truly beautiful Bible it is! You can choose from several different designs to best match your taste, but this one is certainly my favorite. The pages inside have plenty of room with lightly lined margins for whatever type of journaling you plan to do.
What really sets this one apart, though, is that it is enabled with Filament, allowing you to scan and connect to the app for an even more in depth Bible reading/study experience. For me personally, I love that this includes audio options, but here's a breakdown of what else you can expect.
