When I first started watching this ,, I thought oh my goodness she needs my Bible,, guess what you showed at the end,, my Bible it is awesome and I love it!

[@onedayatatimeinhisword]

I have the Fire Bible, ESV translation and it is by far the best bible I’ve ever owned. The notes give you history, culture and a verse by verse breakdown. Also, it does NOT shy away from speaking on the how the Holy Spirit is still relevant for us today, unlike other bibles. I would recommend looking into that one as well for whoever is still shopping around.

Oooh! I’m going to look this up! I love the ESV translation!

Great video explaining each Bible and I appreciate you showing us the pages. I hope you had a safe drive all the way to church and I would definitely watch more of your videos.

The dogs wrestling were great. A little gold spray paint from Hobby Lobby, can fix the page edges.

I've had the Life Application Study Bible since 2010 & it's good to see that updated it with some color on the pages! It's been a wonderful Bible with all of the application at the bottom of each page and there's just SO MUCH good information in it. Also, I love what you said about the aesthetic of the Bible not mattering as much as actually getting into God's word and building that relationship with him! Recently I've been fixated to the point of distraction on getting a Bible with larger margins that I can write notes in, and to be one of those girlies that hi-lights & takes notes in their Bible. It's been tough to remind myself that the aesthetic ultimately doesn't matter as much as just studying the Word

You could get the cover engraved with silver or gold foiling if you wanted to make it look pretty or there’s cricut stickers you could add. Idk about floppy leather like that being painted but there might be artists who could paint it for you too.

I’m so glad you made this! I’m literally on the hunt because the spiral bibles are on my radar and, like you, love what I have, but I’m looking for more. If I could just find a TLV, spiral, with study notes and margins in big fonts, I’d be happy. Haha

I love this video! I was fooled when you set the Life Application Study Bible aside. I was quietly shouting "No, you'll love this Bible!". I absolutely LOVE my LASB. It is so full of great information without being so detailed that it's too hard to understand. Its perfect! I was going to say you can always choose a pretty cover for this Bible. May you have many, many blessed years reading this Bible! ❤

You can get some fun sparkly self-adhesive stickers of smaller or larger stars in silver and/or gold and/or other colors to put on the outside cover. There is surely a lot more you could do to make the Life Application Bible fun and cute. I'm just now learning how to do things like that.

I love this video! Thanks for sharing all the info on the Bibles I keep hearing about but wasn't sure it was the right one. I did end up getting the ESV Study Bible which has the same type of information all through like the Life Application you have! I had been using my Mom's old Life Application Bible and loved it but it's kinda falling apart since it's about 15 years old and well used! I completely agree about the Bible not needing to be pretty to be the most beautiful Bible!

Ur Video Has Really Blessed Me, Thank U!!!!!!! ❤

[@TheTurtlee1]

2 things: 1) The Life Application Bible text block will separate from the covers with the type of use you're expecting. You could have it rebound at that time, or sooner. 2) Life Application is a decent Bible, but a little on the beginner side. You could always tip in pages to write in more background info and artwork/emphasis. I have had excellent results from glue stick the edge of a prepared page and sink it deeply into the gutter. I recommend the Elmer's purple glue stick. It allows one to see how much glue is on the very edge. I run the edge straight on into the stick. Tip into the gutter. Close the Bible spine briefly pressing it. Then it's set to use. I pre-cut the page to all dimensions desired.

Can you please show notes in this Bible? I have 2 different versions of the life application and I love them but there is no room for notes and I am BIG on notes and journaling ❤

[@CocoRio]

I love my LASB! I bought an older version NLT hardcover (ugly green) that I painted turquoise. It's pretty now lol! And I later bought a new edition of NIV LASB in softcover, pink and gray. It's pretty! I was actually surprised that you didn't choose the Crossway with journaling space. But to that I have a suggestion. I found Matthew Everard on KZbin who suggested using a separate journal with numbered notes keyed to the exact scripture of reference (the number written in the column of your Bible matches the number written on top of the note in your journal). This leaves me plenty of room for my thoughts, sermon notes, etc. One bad thing about note-taking only inside the Bible is how squeezed, short and concise your thoughts must be kept. I love having the freedom to express in detail my notes, ideas, sermon notes, etc without the limitations of keeping it within my Bible. Thank you for making this video. I know you said you won't do more, but I'm hoping you will!

[@Karelife]

I have the NLT lasb hardback while I love the Bible it’s huge heavy and uncomfortable to read and study from.

[@CocoRio]

@Karelife I hear you! LASB is heavy, but I put it on a lap desk and prop it on the table or the arm of my chair. It's a great reference in itself, and I don't have to pull out other heavy books as often as without it. I recently bought a Tyndale Filament Bible and I'm really enjoying having a lighter-weight reading Bible that also has study helps on the phone app when I want to dig in.

[@Karelife]

I.just bought the NLT compact giant print Bible. Much easier to use since I’m in a wheelchair

[@ZionTreasureHunt]

LOVED YOUR VIDEO, Courtney! I have watched a lot of Bible related videos, but your's was so honest, informative & relaxed. I recently bought 2 Bibles, one a NKJV & the other a Candace Cameron Bure 'One Step Closer' NLT. The NKJV is Dr. David Jeremiah's Study Bible. LOVE them both, even if they are not as "pretty" as I may have liked. The One Step...is better at that. Soft leather- like cover, fine, thin paper. Love the sound of Bible pages being turned. Is that weird? I'm going to be watching for more videos from you, young lady. (I'm 67 yrs old, but I think & conduct myself in a 30 yr. old manner. 🥴😵‍💫🥴 ) I also want to mention how amusing I found your 2 "clowns" in the background. They were hil-arious!!! I was giggling & laughing all the way through, but I really was listening as well to your reviews. I love dogs, absolutely! I have a West Highland Terrier who just turned 17!!!

[@heathersheartco]

I love your honest reviews of these different Bibles. I find that most of the Bible’s that are geared towards women are kind of fluffy honestly. There’s no study materials. I’m gonna say it - it’s just a glorified devotion in my opinion. I have quite a few Bibles but for really good study notes I find my older NiV life application study Bible, John MacArthur study Bible , Thomas Nelson study Bible. I like the intro notes to the books. And as formerly covers, I’d pay someone to rebind it with leather.

Are you still happy with your choice? While it tick off the boxes for most of the things you wanted, it didn't look as if it has much room for writing notes.
