The CSB Study Bible for Women

One thing I love is a good bible. Especially a good study bible, with great features and great study notes.

The CSB Study Bible for Women actually falls in line with the other two Woman's Study Bibles that I've reviewed You can find them here. While yes, they are published by different publishing houses and are different translations, what they do have in common is the editing team is the same. So you will notice A LOT of similar features. The blue floral design is similarly found in the CSB and the NIV versions. The opening pages are similar. They both feature a Ketubah breakdown and family lineage pages.

Now, this study bible has word studies, which feature a frequently used word on a certain page then that word is broken down to its root word.

This is the edition I was given to review. I quite like it. It's simple yet beautiful. There are also TWO ribbon markers which is awesome!! Especially since I am known to be reading in more than one place at a time.

So this is what a book introduction look likes it includes an outline of the book as well. For those of us who tend to study more deeply and want to know the specifics of when a book was written, the timeline at the bottom of the page is quite helpful. It offers biblical events and world events of that time period.

This is where we can see a word study in action. Some word study sections feature more than one word as seen in the previous set of pictures. Also featured is "hard question" where certain questions are answered (each hard question section relates to the passage it is found near).

The "doctrine" sections, break down certain doctrine's within the Christian faith. Each doctrine section is found where the foundation of that doctrine is found in Scripture. 

I personally like the CSB Study Bible for Women better than the other versions I've come across that was edited by Dorothy Kelley Patterson and Rhonda Harrington Kelley. This one has more useful information embedded. The concordance is larger in the CSB as well. I also like that this bible does not feel as heavy as other full-size study bibles. 

It is also quite beautiful and as I've noticed quite popular among women (I'm in a facebook war binder group with hundreds of women). I've seen it recommended MANY times. I would definitely recommend it. The only thing I would add is in-text cross references. However, I'm sure it would make the bible much bulkier.

{FYI: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my HONEST opinion.}

FACEBOOK

This is something that I have noticed when I am on facebook and scrolling through. People can be extremely negative and not wonder why negativity is so prevalent in their lives. Young men and women are blatantly degrading and disrespecting themselves... how can you possibly want someone to treat you as if you are a diamond if you are treating yourself like glass? It's not possible or rarely possible. And worse is the lack of respect for the elders on facebook. Let's be honest the average person on facebook has a mom or dad, an aunt or even grandparent on facebook. So in knowing that, why so much profanity and disregard.
I am seeing profile pictures that look as though they should belong in XXX magazine not on facebook. Not to mention the status that have profanity. I read one status that said "who wanna come over and drink with me at my house?" now when you think about it that's not so bad, considering you are someone who drinks alcohol. But what got to me is the fact that this person still lives at home with his mom. That's disrespecting your mom's household whether you know it or not.
Girls on facebook are consistently stating that they are women and that they deserve the best. Being a woman is a whole lot more than reaching the age of majority or conceiving children. Its an attitude, a mindset, a way of life. Deserving the best goes beyond saying it. It's carrying yourself in such a manner that you don't have to say it, it's immediately understood.

I am addressing this topic because facebook has become something that everyone uses, to the point that your employer may be on facebook. So at that point you need to heavily reconsider what you are putting on facebook for all to read. Be aware that God can read what you are putting on facebook. So if you are degrading yourself to another human, a common person. How do you think God, our creator is viewing what you are doing?
