It’s Friday! What better way to start the weekend than to share my current favorite faith finds?
If you are my Instagram friend, you know I am a bit Bible obsessed. This week, I want to share the CSB Study Bible for Women.

Here are the features that are similar to other study Bibles:
- introductions for each book of the Bible

- discussions of Biblical womanhood topics
- hard questions asked and answered throughout

- charts on various topics
- a devotional word of application, celebration or encouragement at the end of each book

- decent sized font
- thicker than typical Bible pages
- a nice color scheme to make the various features stand out as you flip through it

I embrace the fact that I am a woman and I am not the same as my husband. I am excited to see how this Bible can help me grow closer to God in a way that speaks to the variety of seasons I have faced, am facing and will face in the future. Glory to God!
