My take on this Bible:
I have been collecting Bibles for quite some time so I found myself totally eager to check out the latest Devotional Bible geared toward women from Zondervan.
First I would like to say that the color of the Bible is so very feminine and pretty, the cover is a teal color with blossoms sprinkled across the front, making it a very visually appealing Bible. Some things included in this Bible are 366 devotions geared toward women,and while the devotions are peppered throughout the scripture there is a handy go to line at the bottom of each devotion that gives the page number for the next devotion making it so easy to find. Another great feature is that the Devotion passages are located close to the Scripture passages that they are based on. The topical index located at the back of the Bible is pretty standard fare, and there is also a list of devotions listed by author making it easy to read devotions by your favorite authors. While I would have enjoyed a bit bigger print, it is considered standard print and is manageable.Overall, I enjoyed the color scheme of this Bible, and thought the devotions were quite interesting. Great for gift giving, or perfect for someone looking for a Bible and devotional in one.
