I was very excited to have the opportunity to review a very unique take on getting the Word in our lives. It is called, "Contemplate the Bible Magazine." I don't do a lot of reviews, mostly because of time, and there are not a lot of things out there I want to invest my time in when it comes to reviews. However, this intrigued me, so I jumped. It’s the Bible in magazine form! Literally. Big plans for this innovative way to spread the Word: They are planning on printing the ENTIRE New Testament over the next 4 years (24 issues featuring one or more books of the NT) They are also working on getting Contemplate in to the prison system AND deployed soldiers overseas. A special Christmas issue, "Behold!" will be available in early November (pre-order THIS MONTH). Last year, they sold out completely! So don’t miss out on this one! My Thoughts: These magazines are so innovative, and a great way to study specific books of the Bible. They are even easier to read than … [Read more...]

Day 7 is here in our 25 Days of Giveaways!! We are about 1/3 of the way through these fun 25 days, and I thought it would be a great time to give away a beautiful Bible and a hilarious DVD-- both are sure to help you move into the new year on a positive note! ;) I think if more of us spent time in the Word, we would have more peace and less harmful stress in our lives!

Instill a Love for the Bible Through Scripture Memorization
My grandfather once said the Bible is the most interesting book you’ll ever read. Wow, is that an understatement! Every time I open my Bible and read a Scripture I ‘m blown away by how much I learn and how it relates to my everyday life. I own a few different Bibles. My grandmother’s Bible which I cherish and is always close by, my Bible that is filled with notes and highlights, and an old Bible from my grandmother that she used to teach me when I was younger about stories of the Bible. The last is my favorite. Looking at it invokes wonderful warm memories of lying in bed with my gram reading to me and asking me the questions located at the end of the story. When she passed away, I asked my mother if I could have that bible so I’d be able to carry on that lovely legacy. She gladly agreed. I feel so blessed to share this gift with Anya.
