How I setup my new bible | DIY Bible Ribbons & Highlighting - ESV Journaling Interleaved Edition

[@prettyflowerUK]

I love the interleaved, and the ribbons you've chosen are so cute with it! I also noticed you were on 99 subscribers - so i just took you to 100! 😊 A really lovely channel! Praying your channel grows as you get others excited about God's word 🧡

[@ruahapparelco]

Thank you so much 💗

[@grichert9988]

Thanks for sharing this ,it is one of the best set up I have see. I bought my daughter this Bible for Christmas and I saved your videos to share with her on how you did it. Love it my dear God bless you an your Spiritual journey ❤🙏🏼✝️😇

[@nancyc4497]

Such a great idea to add more ribbons! I’m definitely going to give it a try 🥰

[@sgc84]

I LOVE how you did the bookmarks. Definitely going to give it a go and see how it turns out.

[@ruahapparelco]

Thank you! :)

I bought the same Bible but with a fake leather cover. I'm CRUSHED at how thin the paper is! Even PENCIL ghosts (and leaves "imprints" on both sides)!

[@ruahapparelco]

The paper is thin.. but I’ve found that my Pigma Micron pens don’t bleed through! You don’t have to press hard when writing with them either so that minimizes the ghosting. If you want a Bible with nice thick pages.. the ESV Scripture Journals (the black paperback ones) are great. They come as individual books of the Bible & you can get them as a set… 😊

Awesome. that's ingenious.👍👍👍

Thank you! :)

Just an FYI for you, 1 Timothy, 2Timothy, Titus and Philemon were actually all written by Paul. Even though in the last century some have tried to call into question Paul's authorship of these 4 Epistles they cannot disprove Pauline authorship especially since he puts his name as the first word in the first verse of each letter. Great video though I loved your bookmark insert. Thanks

[@ruahapparelco]

Yeah I realised I had highlighted them incorrectly once editing the video - so I corrected myself with the caption in the video. Thanks for pointing that out though & clarifying. Glad you like the bookmark insert :)

[@CrossBeforeCrown]

I’m obsessed with my journaling study bible that’s the same, but I do with the interleaved was available when I got it. 😩

Great ideas! 💗

I'm New to All of this decorating and adding things to Bible and making prayers binders and what not would love to make one just don't have the supplies to do it yet but thinking about it and right now I'm doing a study on Psalms and also going to the chosen Bible study at church and so those are the things I'm doing for study

[@ruahapparelco]

I’ve just started studying a Psalm a day.. 🙏🏼

[@lauribanks53]

I have this Bible and have been trying to figure out a better solution than bookmarks. This will work great, thank you.

[@ruahapparelco]

You’re welcome! It’s such a simple thing but makes the biggest difference! Love a good DIY 😊

[@TheIndianaFamily]

Great job! I do this as well with the table of contents but I’m actually not a ribbon person lol I like using fancy paperclips lol

[@ruahapparelco]

Fancy paper clips sound fun though!

[@TheWeight2go]

Such a great idea for the ribbons 🎀🎀🎀🎀

[@ruahapparelco]

I thought so too 🫶🏼

[@beyondthedogwoods]

Just started reading job

[@ruahapparelco]

Job is a great book of the bible! Endurance through trials.. even when we don’t understand the why.

[@missjaclynlouise]

I new to all of this what’s all the book marks for, the contents were very helpful for me thanks

[@ruahapparelco]

I love reading in multiple books at a time, so I like to have more books for that. Glad you found the video helpful 🙏🏼

[@scoobydoo_forever]

So I've made extra ribbons in my Bible before and what I found to be a little easier is you take a cardboard the width of your Bible just slightly smaller so you can slip it in behind the hardcover and where the pages are bound. Cut two slits horizontal about a half an inch between the two slits. Thread your ribbon through the two slits so that both of the strings are facing the same direction and then you can just slip the entire thing in between the bound pages and the hardcover. If there's a big gap, add a little bit of hot glue and then slip it in. Yours seems like it's going to be a little bit sturdier than what mine was, but I didn't have any issues with it. I didn't have the covering that you put on yours in my area when I made mine back in 2020.

[@ruahapparelco]

Sounds like yours is a great creation too! :)

[@bethehappyturtle84]

Love this setup so much! I'm currently studying Philemon which I should be done with tomorrow and then I'll be studying Mark. =]

[@davidpierson]

Blank page for every page of scripture?? Sounds like my kind of Bible 😊

[@ruahapparelco]

It’s such a good Bible! So much space to write down your study notes 😊

[@lynda6585]

Love that Bible ......my current one is falling apart. Have had to reglue/ retake the pages....currently studying Leviticus... Next will be Numbers...half way through ..Leviticus.. Unsure which one will get ..perhaps ..ESV. Or NKJV....have the INSPIRE journaling Bible..but like the study Bible or reg one for my Bible studies.

[@ruahapparelco]

ESV is a great literal translation - I’ve seen the inspire journaling bible!! This new one I’ve got is just a plain ol journaling Bible, no commentary or studies throughout… which is kinda nice because there’s lots of room for your own notes :)

I’m always looking at bibles and Christian resources online and I stumbled across it on the Crossway website and thought ohhh I love that!

I might’ve missed this in the video… but, how come you decided to make an insert instead of gluing them inside the spine? 🧐

[@ruahapparelco]

I wanted something that was removable & not permanent… plus it’s really easy to make a little bookmark insert & easy for others to make one as well!

Does anyone in USA publish journaling or study bibles in russian language? Unfortunately in our country we don't have such kind of bibles. Help me please get one

I’ve done so much research and I can’t find one in Russian to recommend for you I’m sorry :(

[@aeonwindsoeur]

There are videos online in english on how to print your own bible. Maybe you are lucky and can find a pdf with a bible version in your language that you like. Adjust the settings, get the right paper ( if it is too thick, the bible might not lay flat at the end). Im sure you‘ll find a way to have THAT one bible for you. Much love.

[@rondarayl1536]

Try Trinitarian Bible Society they have Bibles in different languages
