He Reads Truth Bible (Review and Giveaway)

Hello, Wonderful People!!

Today’s world is filled with many so much noise that it can be difficult to hear anything clearly. From our social media outlets to the countless TV stations to the people we come in contact throughout the day. It can seem impossible to know who is correct or which one you need to be listening to. One question that I often hear from Christians ask, “With so much noise, how do I when God is speaking to me?” Our Pastor has a very simple answer to this question. God can speak to you every day. All you need to do is spend time reading and studying His word that is found in the Bible. But learning what the Bible is saying to you can be a daunting task if you do not how to study it effectively.

Sunday, June 16th is Father’s Day and what a better gift to give than God’s word. I often hear friends ask questions like, “How am I going to raise these kids? This is such a hard time to raise a family? How does God tell me how to build a solid relationship with my wife? The answers are in God’s word. If we read the Bible and allow God to give us wisdom and advice, He will do it.

If you have often struggled with reading the Bible, the He Reads Truth Bible may be what you need for that breakthrough. With 125 full-color charts, infographics, and illustrations; 17 full-color timelines; 21 full-color maps, this Bible can help bring clarity and revelation as you read and study God’s word. There are also two sewn-in to the binding ribbon bookmarks for you to mark your place while reading. It features a one-year reading plan for the entire Bible and a curated reading plan for each book of the Bible. The curated plans give you an opportunity to study related scriptures and passages in other parts of the Bible that provide further context and explanation of what you are reading. This Bible uses the Christian Standard Bible text, which captures the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, which will help you read, understand, and share God’s word more effectively.

Released on May 1, the He Reads Truth Bible was put together by the He Reads Truth group. According to information provided with the Bible, this worldwide community of men reads God’s Word together every day. Founded in 2015, the group invites men to engage with scriptures through daily reading plans and devotionals. Although the Bible is edited by men and geared to men, I believe women would also benefit from reading this version of the Bible. However, there is also a She Reads Truth version. Looking through the more than 2,300 pages of this Bible, I realize that I have the tools right in front of me to take that next step. The text on the page is a bit on the small side, but don’t let that stop you from getting this Bible and hearing what God is saying today. The Bible retails for $49.99, but different online stores have various prices.

Why read God’s word?


To get to know God and have a personal relationship with Him, I know I have to read his word. I am a Christian! However, when I am asked about my faith, do I really know Him? Well, this is a great way to get to know Him and have one-on-one time with God. Our Lord talks to His children through His word and what better way to start than with the He Reads Truth Bible.

Why a book instead of a tablet or phone?
I also use my iPhone and an iPad to read the Bible. Those pieces of technology are awesome, I know that there is nothing like having a book in my hands that you can make notes and highlight as I please.

The Fabulous Backpack

Hello, Elegant Lovelies,

First day of June and no rain at the moment. It has rained almost every other day and it was even a tornado warning this week. Be safe out there. On a lighter note, I had to share my birthday backpack from LisaRobertson.com. The backpack is currently sold out. However, you can see what it looks like from the photos that are on her website. If you are interested in seeing what is available before it goes live, you need to sign up for her newsletter. In her newsletter, she previews upcoming items and lets you know when it will be available to purchase.

The first time I saw this backpack, it had sold out before I had a chance to get it. The second time it became available, I told my hubby about it; but I didn’t order it. So this was a sweet surprise to get it for my birthday. The backpack has become a favorite of mine because it’s chic and roomy.

Croco and haircalf double pocket backpack

This bag was on advanced order and specially made by a manufacturer in Los Angeles, CA. The bag sells for $349. The bag is made of equestrian leather from Italy and haircalf in different mediums. This bag is sold out now too, it may come back again.

Here’s a recent Youtube video where I did a review of the backpack.

Words of Wisdom
I am organizing my wardrobe to find out what brings me joy, what at one time gave me joy or if it no longer brings me joy. Also, not buying things just because it is on sale, but really thinking about purchases. Is it needed? Is it an impulse purchase?

What ways are you looking at organizing your wardrobe?
