My Favorite Bibles for Women

When I started sharing more of my Bible study habits over on Instagram, I had women constantly ask me to recommend a Bible for them. I am more than happy to do that…help women spend time in the Word? Absolutely. That prompted me to write a post for you about my favorite Bibles for women. These are Bibles I recommend for women of all ages, depending on their life circumstances. Read through these recommendations, click to visit a few and I’m sure you’ll find a Bible you will love.

 

These Bibles are designed specifically for women to help in finding inspiration, encouragement, guidance and wisdom throughout Scripture.

 THE ILLUSTRATING BIBLE

The NIV Illustrating Bible is designed to take you deeper into the Word than you’ve ever gone before.

This product comes in a high-quality, paper-wrapped keepsake box. Pages are 75% thicker than normal journaling Bibles to reduce bleed-through and feature 3 3/34 inch wide margins with blank space for journaling and creativity. Why Bible journaling? Two words… Linger longer. Bible journaling is creative, but it is not about the creativity. Bible journaling is artistic, but it is not about the artistry. Bible journaling is a devotional style, a Bible study method, an avenue to help you spend more time with God in His Word.
