I reviewed the KJV Homeschool Mom’s Bible from Zondervan.
Just look at that lovely cover! This is a hardcover Bible with a protective dustcover. The cover is the same underneath – just as lovely! I adore the colors and the scrapbooky design. {also available in cornflower blue Italian Duo-Tone™ and ePub}
I chose the KJV version and it also comes in NIV. Aren’t they gorgeous?!
Beautiful!
The devotionals correspond to a calendar year, so you can do a “read through the Bible in one year” with daily devotionals. I think that’s a great idea!
Since I received the Bible in September, I just found where the 9/9 devotional was by flipping around a bit. (It’s in Ezekiel.) So, I can do it by “school year” instead of calendar year.
The devotionals are short, just a page long. They begin and end with relevant scripture verses and the text is meaningful for homeschool moms. Some days are humorous and other days are convicting. They’re all perfect and timeless for homeschool moms. With a Foreword by Vickie Farris (wife of HSLDA founder, Dr. Michael Farris) and devos from Janet Tatman (Alpha Omega Publications Daily Focus writer), this is definitely a quality devotional Bible.
As a homeschool mama, it’s so, so hard for me to get in any real devotional and Bible reading time. I often count it good that I “do Bible” with the kids. And while their lessons are often great, it’s not enough to fill me spiritually. I find that I need some “me” time, not selfish “me” time, but time alone with the Lord. Getting up earlier is usually not an option. I have to fit it in my day where I can. This Bible makes it easy!
This Bible is so helpful that I can steal a quick moment to read my daily devotional (and it’s geared towards homeschool moms!) full of encouragement and stories of homeschooling pioneers. And you know that seldom happens in the mornings when it should. I have to grab a few moments during lunch or when the kids are otherwise occupied.
But it’s a great resource too! There’s a topical index I can search when I have a problem, issue, or just feel less-than. Like when I lose the victory over my eldest daughter’s entitlement issues. But I don’t want to go there. Sigh.
Yes, I need this Bible…and I’m sure you do too.
It’s perfect for the homeschool mom. For the mom who feels lost, confused, overwhelmed, alone…for the mama who never has time for herself or her God…for the mother who needs to call upon the Lord to help her teach her little ones – whether those precious babies have special needs, sensory issues, learning disabilities, emotional issues, gifted tendencies, or just sassy attitudes…
If I have anything remotely negative to say, it would be the font. The size is overall too small and the top verse in the devotionals is in a difficult-to-read cursive font. But I’m just getting old, I suppose!
