Inspire PRAISE Bible NLT, Filament Enabled (Hardcover LeatherLike, Purple): The Bible for Coloring & Creative Journaling

This is the most beautiful bible I have ever seen!!! When I saw the closed page edges had colorful purple butterflies printed on them I was sunk, and the cover is purple--my favorite color! The NLT Inspire Bible and the NLT Praise bible are the same translation but the first bible, the Inspire one, is teal colored and sometimes comes with leaves outlined in teal (and green, I think) printed on the closed page edges. I thought it was very nice but I grew up with the earlier version of the Living Testament bible and never felt I needed to have a copy of the updated New Living Testament (which is considered an actual translation rather than a paraphrase as the older version was). Then I saw this purple one and you know what happened next... I am a recent fan of Bible Journaling, where artwork, journal cards, and all kinds of ephemera is added to a bible to increase the fun of bible study. Sometimes journaling can make the scripture difficult to see so I don't use my good bible-study bible for this, but there are so many bibles designed to help those like me who are art challenged, and this is one of the best. The margins have printed scripture centered artwork that can be colored with colored pencil or other media. It really helps me to memorize verses when I spend this much time with them. There are also absolutely beautiful colored vellum artwork pages inserted throughout the bible too. These have large open areas so the reader can add their own artwork, write their thoughts, or copy scripture to make it personal. The printed artwork is different in the NLT Praise Bible from that in the Inspire NLT Bible so they are not copies except for the actual text of scripture. I showed this bible to my middle school grand daughter who is really into art and she wants one for Christmas. I would recommend this bible for anyone who loves God's word, art, coloring with colored pencils, interested in Bible Journaling, may be a little art challenged, or has problems with coming up with ideas for Bible Journaling. It would make a great gift to someone new to the Bible since the artwork looks great in black and white as well, and the translation is one of the easiest to understand for new Christians.

This Bible is gorgeous and great for journaling. I bought three for my daughters and I. At ages 9 and 7, we cannot put it down. They spend time in it each day to both read and color. We also use it for our mother/daughter devotional time each morning. The pages are great for use with colored pencils. Gel pens can be used on the inside and back cover art and for accents here and there. They do bleed through the page some (so I don’t suggest gel pens for an entire page). There is plenty of room for journaling your thoughts on the pages as you read God’s word. Other items used we for our journaling on this Bible are stickers, labels, washi tape, and stencils. The vellum pages are AMAZING! They are perfect for journaling or even additional personal artwork. The cover is strong but as with other Bibles, I recommend a Bible cover. The Bella Taylor covers I bought at Books-a-Million were a good fit and have extra room for pens, extras such as sticky notes and even their notebook. We also added tabs for the books of the Bible and the pages are holding up well. The artwork is beautiful. The extra pocket is helpful and the stickers are a fun edition mostly for my girls. One big suggestion for future editions is to make sure all artwork is big enough and letters thick enough for coloring. Some artwork has lines so thin that it makes it difficult for coloring. The best artwork/illustrations are the ones whose images pertain to the verse and are large. Some artwork could be changed out in future editions for this reason. This is small constructive criticism in light of the GREAT labor of love I’m sure this edition was! We all truly LOVE IT! We love to see God’s word become visually alive through these illustrations. ♥️ This makes an EXCELLENT gift. I bought the hard cover edition with the purple cover.

Absolutely beautiful and very well thought of. God bless the people who created it. Truly “inspired” !! Thank you so much. It means a lot to me holding this into my hands as I embark on a new journey in my life with God, healing from childhood trauma and trying to bring my artistic self back to life. It’s comforting my soul.

I’m in love with this Bible! My daughter received one in the light teal as a Christmas gift from a friend and I loved it so much I looked for myself. I love reading the Bible anyway but this just makes me just want to sit and dig in. So fun and beautiful.

Amazing, beautiful for creative women who wants to enjoy the process of reading and meditation in the words by coloring and with space for journaling! I love that connects also with the Filament App that brings a lot of extra information, articles and visuals about each page were reading 🤍 Just amazing gift for the Soul

My teenage daughter loves this bible! She gets to ask her friends about their favorite bible verse and her bible and share Jesus with others! Great conversation starter!

The most beautiful Bible … so happy I get to own this. The artwork is gorgeous, there’s plenty of room in the margins for notes, and I am blown away by the saturated colors. If you’re a purple girl, or just want a Bible that gives you the opportunity to dwell in God’s Word while decompressing by coloring and making this your own, get it. Price point is fantastic. Listen to Don Francisco’s Live Concert (YouTube), too! I bought Mr. Pen highlighters for the artwork. Blessings!

Love it and its fun easy to read. Wish it was larger print.

I wanted a new bible and this one is great.

A bíblia é lindíssima, exatamente como nas imagens. Possui a capa dura e diversos inserts, páginas de papel vegetal com excelente impressão. O papel das páginas é um pouco mais grossinho(gramatura maior que o normal), mas ainda é bem acetinado. Testei vários materiais e apenas as canetas permanentes vazaram, caneta esferográfica, ponta fina, marca texto e giz não passaram para a outra página. Uma dica que deixo é olhar em qual vendedor tem o melhor preço, não ir no primeiro que aparece pois pode ser mais barato mas em geral cobra frete alto. Chegou em 15 dias, menos da metade do tempo previsto.

I love the inspire series. This is beautiful quality. It looks amazing. I couldn’t think of which Inspire I wanted (I was torn between prayer and praise), and I chose this one because I liked the colour.😬😬 It’s gorgeous, creative (you can paint/colour within it), and it’s a perfect study Bible to have. If you’re looking to improve your relationship with God this year, this is an interesting and cheerful add to your plan.

I love the NLT translation. The pages are thicker than in other Bibles. I love it !

I thanked God i own my very loved Bible. It was filled with beauty. Worth the wait and value for the price. ♥️
