Hello World! Welcome Friends! Choosing a new Bible, especially for the first time, can be a nerve-racking experience. Everything you’re going to learn about the word of God is going to come from that all-important book, so choose wisely.
Everyone has their favorite Bible version, but that doesn’t mean you can only have one. When it comes to choosing the right one for you, there are several things that you need to consider. This article will give you five handy tips on what to look for in your next Bible:
1. Select Your Type
Bibles serve many different purposes, which means there are many Bible types to choose from – it all comes down to why they are needed. Most of the Bibles available today are aimed at specific groups, such as scholars or readers who need large or giant print versions.
Bibles are available for any reading level, so take your time to find the one that is right for you.
2. Choose Your Favorite Binding
Bibles come in many different binding options from all kinds of materials. The type of binding will play a role in its price, but your new Bible should last a lifetime, so feel free to splash out – if you can. Your Bible will teach you all about your favorite holidays, and you can teach your kids while having fun this weekend.
Bibles come in various leather options, including genuine and imitation – please note that genuine leather is far more durable. You can also opt for a hard or softcover option; hardcover Bibles offer good protection for the pages at a much lower cost than leather.
3. Bible Languages
The Bible has been translated into over 700 languages since the original versions of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic were found. The New Testament, arguably the more popular one, has been translated into an additional 1500 languages.
You must buy a Bible in your home language or a language you feel comfortable reading. Find Spanish Bibles online, along with multiple other versions – there is a Bible for everyone.
4. Take Notes
Wide-margin Bibles are perfect for taking notes. These Bibles work best for readers who often have many questions and regularly need to ask for clarity. Taking notes is the best way to jot down your understanding of the scripture you’ve just read and allows you to learn from it.
Many studies have proven that writing aids in learning and absorbing new information.
5. Font Size and Illustrations
Apart from different reading levels, people have vastly different requirements when it comes to font size as well. Bibles can be shared among friends and loved ones, but they are a deeply personal purchase. You should always ensure that you can comfortably read your Bible for as long as possible.
Choose a version that has a font size that you’re comfortable reading. Some Bibles even offer illustrations to help people who are visually orientated. If you’re the artsy or creative type, look for Bibles with illustrations that you can color in between readings.
To End
Deciding to buy a new Bible is a personal choice, when you are ready to make this decision then the tips above will help you. You don’t need to be fancy to read the Word of God, you just need to be willing.
