Book Review: CSB Study Bible for Women Plus Prayer Request

Before I bore you all with another book review please pray for the families in Santa Fe, Texas who lost loved ones in yet another school shooting.
______________________________________________________________________________

This week I'm reviewing the CSB Study Bible for Women. First of all I'm always suspicious Christian material geared towards women because there are so many false teachers out there. I almost didn't request it but I wanted to know what the editors had to say on issues such as modesty, submission etc

This Bible according to the back cover sleeve is "the most comprehensive study Bible ever prepared  for women and by women".

The Bible's editors Dorothy Kelley Patteron and Rhonda Harrington Kelley did a great job in my opinion putting this Bible together.  Some of the features of this Bible are :

Extensive commentary notes

Word Studies

Character profiles

Biblical Womanhood articles 

These are just a few features this study Bible has. One thing I noticed right away was the pages were very pretty. They have a very feminine look and I really liked that. The Bible Lifeway sent is a hardcover which is okay but I  personally prefer a leather cover. The Bible translation is the Christian Standard Bible which I mentioned in the Worldview Study Bible is a new translation. As far as any hint of feminist views I didn't see any.  I actually wanted to go through it with a finetooth comb but I knew that would take way too long. So my final thoughts are this is a great study Bible for women. There didn't appear to be any references to false women teachers of today in any of the Biblical Womahood articles.

The study notes are amazing  One thing I would have done differently though is put the features of the Bible in the beginning instead of the back. I found this to be rather odd as though the features were an afterthought.

I would ask that you please bear with me with my book reviews. I'm still getting the hang of doing this. 

I received a copy of this Bible from Lifeway in exchange for my reviews. 

Medical Updates

So we finally got the results back from Tim's  MRI. Their didn't appear to be anything that looks like cancer but the scan did show there was indeed scarring. Tim's follow-up appointment is on June 5th so please if you don't mind, marking that on your calendar to pray. We are praying the scarring isn't serious.
I want to thank you all for praying. I've felt rather silly worrying over this.

Our daughter's ear infection hasn't gotten much better so we are seeing her primary care provider tomorrow. Please pray for her too.

Teacups and Friendships

My daughters and I had the pleasure of participating in  Teacup and Mug Exchange hosted by Stephanie at The Enchanting Rose blog. I really enjoyed making and picking out items for my tea lady. I was privileged to have Elisabeth at Absolutely Elisabeth blog as my send to tea friend. She has a great blog you should check out.

I was blessed with a beautiful tea package by Debbie. Debbie doesn't have a blog but her daughter Esther has a delightful blog called Dolly Creates.
 I must say I felt quite spoiled when I opened my box of goodies.  And pink! Oh how I love pink! The pink apron is so pretty! Oh and the Chick tract. I was so glad to know they were still around. I remember them from my teens.

The teacup is so delicate and pretty!

I love everything I received.  Thank you again Debbie!

Our .Family Photo From Easter

My daughter finally sent the picture that was taken after church on Easter Sunday. My hubby and three daughters.

Greetings!

I trust you all had a sweet Mother's  Day! I actually slept alot. We had to take our 21 year old daughter to the ER Saturday night for severe ear pain. Turns out the poor girl has an ear infection.
We didn't get out of their until 2:30am and got home by 3:00. Unfortunately I it took awhile for me to get to sleep and when it was time to get up I just couldn't keep my eyes open.

So I missed Mother's Day at church but it was so nice to get some sleep.  We decided to have Dollar Tree frozen meals for dinner including eclairs from Dollar Tree. So all in all I had a very nice Mother's  Day.

Take you all!

Happy Mothers Day

I want to wish all you precious mothers and mother figures a blessed Mother's Day!

Oops! Forgot to Mention the Other Publisher

I forgot to mention the other Christian book publisher I use. The other one is B&H/Lifeway  B&H has a list each month of books available to review. The list is short but you don't have to earn points. Just request a book to review. Again these are free including shipping and the books are yours to keep. Though Tyndale as mentioned in the previous post has a bigger selection I like the fact that B&H doesn't require earning points to request a book.
