Beautiful and spiritually meaningful!
I purchased this Bible as I was starting my second pass at reading the entire scriptures and dig for deeper understanding.The artwork is beautiful and the devotionals included throughout are relevant and relatable. I am working my way through this in combination with a devotional series that will point me to a scripture that I then read within the chapter as a whole.The Bible is well constructed in both the imitation letter and the linen. The layout is study friendly and visually wonderful.I noted some other reviews commented on the thinness of the pages. I can confirm they are thin, but that is how traditional Bibles are supposed to feel. I keep a separate journal for my notes and thoughts with highlights and minimal notation in the Bible itself. Light highlighting does not bleed through as long as you use the Bible highlighters.I maintain my 5 star rating, but I will caution on the weight and size of this Bible. It is not a version to be carried with you for everyday reference. I keep one in my office and one at home. I carry it to church. But it is a very thick and weighty version due to all the wonderful reference maps and notes throughout.If you are torn between which version to purchase, I can speak to both the linen and the imitation leather. The linen cover is very nice, lays flat and feels nice in your hand. But if weight is a concern, go with the leather. It's a touch lighter, feels wonderful in your hand and makes a better presentation.I greatly appreciate the work these women of God put into organizing this wonderful edition to help those of us seeking to learn, advance our knowledge and grow spiritually in our relationship with Christ.

Font is too small and light unless you have perfect eyesight
The Bible itself is exactly what I wanted with women focused commentaries, notes and devotionals plus wide margins for Bible journaling. Unfortunately, it has the smallest print I've ever seen in a Bible, and the ink isn't true black making it very difficult to read. When I ordered it, I didn't notice that the specifications indicated the scriptures are in an 8.5 font, plus the devotionals and notes are in an even smaller font. If you have perfect eyesight, I highly recommend this bible. If you have limited eyesight, are visually impaired, or are a mature woman with less than perfect eyesight, pass this one by and save yourself the hassle of returning it. There's no point in having a Bible, no matter how nice it is, if you can't read it. It's a shame is it not available in large print, so mine is going back tomorrow. :(

Love!!
If youโre looking for a Bible that lies โflatโ this is the one for you! While it wonโt lay completely flat (itโs a Bible so itโs thick), it will lay open without having to hold either side down (hope that makes sense).Also, the devotionals, reading plans, key verses, etc. is phenomenal!The only downside is how thin the pages are. Iโm honestly afraid to highlight in it or use a pen because of bleeding or tearing (again, I havenโt tried it yet to know for sure but the pages are really thin).

I am very very pleased with this bible
I am very very pleased with this bible. I love the insights to the Word. In fact, it has become my favorite bible I own. I got the indexed thumb pages, but this was my only disappointment. I found they were difficult to see at a glance. They have three books on each one and the glare of the print on them is very difficult to see in the light. My friend had a hard time as well. I ended up putting bible tabs on the pages anyway and that solved my problem. The cover is awesome. I love the touch and feel of it. The book is high quality. The print font inside is not difficult to read, but the font on the insights to the word is very small. Still, it can be read, but it is worth mentioning. Overall, this is a wonderful bible. I highly recommend it. I love the CSB translation more than I ever imagined I would!

My wife LOVES this Bible!
The CSB is a very readable and scripturally sound(in my opinion) translation. The she reads truth edition of this Bible from Holman is wonderful. My wife previously owned a coral colored She Reads Truth, till I accidentally poured water all over it. Her only gripe with this Edition is the lack of Jesus Words in Red. My wife doesn't mind as she goes over the verses with a color pencil and it came out pretty great. Still, I consider that to be an essential part of a Bible.

Feels great, easy to use, not the best for journaling though.
Great quality, absolutely fantastic bible. This bible is not hard cover (the leather edition) and this makes the bible floppy, which I like. I find it works better for bible study for me because I can move around really quickly. For whatever reason, the stiffness in the hard cover is not as appealing for my bible.My only complaint on this bible is the pages are extremely thin. If you are planning to write in this bible, I recommend the Micron pens, which don't bleed through. As for journaling, this bible does have great space for margins but I think if you were trying to be really artsy with your journaling, you'd probably want to stick with a regular esv journaling bible.Overall, really happy with my purchase. I recently did a bible study online (not with the company that makes this bible fyi) and it seemed like everyone had a She Reads Truth bible.

First impression
My first impression upon opening this bible is that it FEELS good! I bought the Navy leather-like cover. It is soft and pliable. Nice. Next I opened it to Genesis. Indexed bible is as stated. Yay! (many reviews stated that it was not indexed. Mine is.) I noticed immediately that the pages are no thinner than any other bible I own. That was the biggest complaint I read in the reviews, but honestly, I don't feel that these are thinner than the average bible. I like the Chapter reading plans. I have to say that this was a BIG seller for me. There are suggested readings and 'dig deeper' verses as well. The devotionals look good. I look forward to using this bible. I didn't give it a 5 because it doesn't have study notes, but if you're looking for a devotional bible with solid reading plans, this is a good choice!

Wonderful way to study God's word
Beautiful in design and feel. Looks so elegant but more importantly it's such a lovely way to connect to the word of God, the dedications, timelines, maps and information add so much detail and context to your bible studies. So glad I purchased. Also arrived very quickly.

Beautiful, easy to read, inspiring Bible
I am very happy with this Bible. I love the design, it makes it easy to read. I enjoy the inspiring artwork. It makes me want to open the Bible. The weight of the Bible is very nice, rather light compared to what I was expecting. The only reason why I put 4 stars is the thinness of the pages. I am not sure how this is going to hold up in the long term.

Beautiful
Love my She Reads Truth Bible. The illustrations and overview of each book is great! Only downside is the CSB version...I prefer the NIV, so it takes a bit to get used to.
