The Abide Bible - Full Review

[@amyforreal3472]

I fell away for 7-8 years and within the last two weeks Jesus pulled me back in. I’m so thankful 🥲 and just purchased this Bible after ordering two others that didn’t quite do it for me (sent back). I came here to find out if Jesus’ words were in red and I see they are; I’m excited to get this!!

[@timwildsmith]

So glad to hear this, Amy... I hope this Bible is a blessing to you!

I was actually at Barnes and Noble looking for a new ESV and this one kept screaming at me. Had to be the Spirit taking to me, because I picked it up looked at it and set it back down “Not what I’m here for”, it called me again, I opened it, really took a good close look and thought “Wow, well done, I’ve never seen one quite like this. Really in interesting way to put the scripture into your heart.” I’ve done KJV, but more of an NASB95 guy, really didn’t want KJV (the Sword KJVER is another amazing study bible). No matter how I tried it pulled me back in. It’s now at home with me. I’m pretty excited about it.

[@timwildsmith]

Awesome... I gave this one to my Mom for Christmas. GREAT Bible!

[@donnawildsmith2232]

I just had not idea about all these different Bibles. I am so grateful to you, son, for making these videos available. Obviously I cannot have all the Bibles that you review, but I really LOVE this one!

[@timwildsmith]

Love you, Mom!!

[@WalkingintheLightReviews]

I have this one, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites! I love how it helps me to slow down and meditate on what I am reading. Thomas Nelson makes some great Bibles!

[@timwildsmith]

They sure do! And yes, I think that slowing down is so great.

[@ToliverJay]

My absolute favorite translation. My wife has this Bible and she loves it.

[@timwildsmith]

Nice!!

[@f8ted2bme]

I have wanted this Bible ever since I heard about it, I just ordered mine. Now that I have an understanding of the Bible and want to dig in and finally read through the entire Bible for the first time ("baby" Christian in 2020). I strongly feel that the Abide system will help me do that. Thank you for this video.

[@musicandmania]

I just bought this one after seeing it at a outlet, I had never seen it before and they only had one. I couldn't stop thinking about it and went back for it twice before I finally allowed myself to treat myself lol. I was wondering if you have spent any time in yours since you mentioned it? I'm trying to decide how I want to utilize it in my studies and not sure how to want to organize or what plan to follow so I was just curious if you had a certain system you follow.

[@user-ot3rq6xn9n]

I love single column bibles 😊

[@caraluna2497]

I literally love you, every time I want a Bible I go to you for reviews !!

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks so much!

[@reneallen9556]

Great Bible and you did a wonderful job on the Review of it. I have the NET Translation. I've also purchased the Journals. I'll have to spend more time reading and studying in this Bible. I have so many other engaging Bibles that I have to specifically decide to focus on this one for a period of time.

[@patgervell9959]

I just bought the Abide Bible. It was good to hear what you think about it. Thank you.

[@ashleytunny]

Ran into this Bible at the bookstore and thought it was so unique. I’m happy to see such a thoughtful review. Thank you

[@timwildsmith]

You’re welcome, Ashley!

[@preciousbees5721]

Have you done a bid that discusses different types of bibles? Like you mentioned how it’s not study type with cross references but more devotional. Are their more categories of what types of bibles one can have?

[@twiceborn_by_grace]

I need a better way to study than just read and highlight, then journal. It doesn’t really stick like I want it to. And I think this bible would solve that.

[@timwildsmith]

Good point!

[@twiceborn_by_grace]

@@timwildsmith too bad I can’t get it at the moment. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I really wish they would do this in the ESV

[@timwildsmith]

That would be great!

[@parson8582]

Great Review. Thank you

[@sandracoombs2255]

I got this in the NET translation. While I like the NKJV very much I went with the NET as I appreciate it too and it was a black letter text. Disappointed though to see they omitted the lined pages in the back. Some of my Allan Bibles have this lined paper and I love to have it in a Bible. NET shortchanged again?? 🥲😥

[@timwildsmith]

I just got a a copy of that one, too.

[@ginamiller6754]

Absolutely gorgeous Bible!! Thx for the review!

[@timwildsmith]

You are so welcome, Gina!

[@faithw9360]

I'm hoping to get it in extra large print.

[@timwildsmith]

Nice!

[@r44inspector44]

I have an idea for you that I put into practice. I purchased a pair of reading glasses at 1.5 magnification at Walmart. The glasses have made a huge difference for me with reading these bibles. I wanted so bad to get a larger print Open Bible, but there are none and that bible has been out for many years. Aside from using my phone or table and making the font bigger - the screens tire my eyes out. By using magnified reading glasses, I don't have to buy a heavier bible :-)

[@faithw9360]

The cover of the box looks very Twin peaks to me👏🏻☺️Love it.

[@elainejan]

Excellent, thorough review. Can you address the differences between the hard cover and the leathersoft, if you know? I’m undecided between them. Thanks very much.

[@timwildsmith]

I am not seen the hardcover edition in person, but I think they will both hold up very well.

[@floh247]

Hi Tim Thank you for your blog and videos. I have a question 😀 In the video I heard you say it goes with the Abide system (7:25) does it work if I don’t have those journals and just this Bible? If I buy the journals later or one by one will I find the same extra material in them as the Bible? 🙏🏻

[@timwildsmith]

You don’t need the journals to use this Bible effectively, but they do give more space to write things down.

[@AnthonyAwaken]

Great video as always, brother! This is a really nice looking bible. It reminds me of the NKJV Ancient Modern bible in its design choices. But this is much more interactive & engaging with the 'abide' system. Might just have to put this one on the 'ole wishlist :)

[@timwildsmith]

Glad you enjoyed it, Anthony. Definitely a good Bible!

[@richardvoogd705]

I, too, was reminded of the NKJV Ancient-Modern Bible.

[@barbaramandy8708]

Very interesting Bible style! How does this differ from the Jesus Bible you've mentioned in the past?

[@timwildsmith]

This is more a five-step devotional system.

[@garlandofbooks4494]

I watched this review a few months ago, had forgotten I watched it, and now watching it again, I realize that this was so helpful for me in previewing this Bible. I had bought the NKJV Abide for myself and now I’m getting the NET Abide for my beginner reader for his first personal Bible. I think he’s too young for a heavy notes study Bible, but I think these type of prompts will work well for him over his elementary years. too many study notes might be overwhelming before he gets to a more analytical age. I’m not as familiar with the NET translation, but it seems to be good option for a lower reading level, which is part of what I’m looking for at this stage for him. Do you think this Bible and the NET translation would work well for a beginner reader / elementary student? Our church had the 1st grader Bible gifting last week, but I hate the cartoons added to so many kid Bibles, so we’re not actually going to give him that one. I prefer art he can grow into, rather than art that may hinder or offend the children and be grown out of.

[@timwildsmith]

I like NLT and NIV for kids/teens, but I think NET is nice as well… and probably a bit easier for a young person to grasp than NKJV.

[@leobaker291]

The Bible is awesome

[@timwildsmith]

It really is! I gave this one to my Mom, and I got the NET edition for myself!

Wondering (it's been a year) if you stuck in this for awhile. I have been thinking about purchasing this bible and have looked at reviews and not really anyone has like an update this is how this bible is or helped their walk video just wondering ☺️

[@timwildsmith]

I still really like it!

[@stuartnsharpe]

What are your thoughts on the NKJV translation?

[@timwildsmith]

I like it!

[@brandonglover9949]

Do you prefer the NKJV over the NET?

[@timwildsmith]

I just got a copy of the NET version of this Bible, and I like it a lot. I think the NET translation has a lot of positives, but the NKJV is certainly a classic.

[@brandonglover9949]

@@timwildsmith I love the NKJV as well. I'm going to purchase the NKJV and thank you so much for reviews and your response, the combination of both made my decision so much easier .

what doe your comment hve to do with the abide bible?

[@loveisall5520]

How sad that the faith of many is insufficient without having a Nelson Bible to tell them when to pray, how to pray.

[@timwildsmith]

Or... from another perspective... how cool is it that there's a Bible like this to help people deepen their prayer life.
