The unboxing was oddly emotional for me. This is exactly what I desperately wanted as a teenager in the 1970s. I photocopied whole books of the Bible and then put them into three-ring binders.
@@timwildsmith Your wife is adorable and precious Tim. Y'all are one of the cutest and sweetest couples I have seen. Love this video and all the content. Thank You. Love these books as well just perfection.
These look great and spiral is wonderful for flat writing. This is a great idea and every publisher should do this. Love the ability to take notes. Crossway is great
I absolutely love to watch your videos even more when Becca is present. I love her enthusiasm, her excitement. I love the dynamic between the two of you. These videos make my day. God bless you both.
I love when Becca joins you on your reviews! Now we need to see some of what Becca does with her art and journaling in the books. You should do a follow up with some of her results!
Yesterday I went to Goodwill and found an almost new NLT study Bible and was soo excited. Two weeks ago,I found an almost new ESV study Bible. Now I’m thinking I want this because of the convenience of note taking being included. Wow Gotta start saving my Pennie’s. LOL. Thanks for the info 🙏. Ruth
These look brilliant. Crossway are great at not only making quality Bibles, but making them in such a way that makes you want to engage deeper with the Word of God. Thanks for the review both!
I ordered the NT last night and it will be coming today! I have the older black set in the box, but I like the idea of having the NT all in one book. I started watching your videos a short time ago and love your insights.
I just recently purchased these and received them a few days ago - they are BEAUTIFUL! I love them! The colors are perfect. (Becca’s reaction was so cute 😆💗) God bless you both!
Tim I love watching your videos when it is just you . However when Becca is on and I watch you interact with each other the video is so much more fun. Love you both. That Bible is awesome.
I've had an eye on these for a few days, and literally JUMPED to buy them when I watched this morning and saw Becca's excitement and her description of the colors. I am reading through the bible in a year, in an ESV Study Journal bible, but I honestly want MORE ROOM for small notes. So these are absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing your reaction and opinions.
Those colours are like my old school exercise books! I am too scared to write in my Schuyler Stridon, so these will be perfect (I also have the NLT Every Woman's Bible from your review with Becca, & have also ordered the NIV study bible, so should have all bases covered by now 😂)
I love these!! I’ve bought the Pentateuch and poetry right now several of us that are in a Bible study have bought these for doing the inductive Bible study and we’re going through the Bible from genesis to revelations and we deep dive through them as well
Thanks for the review! I have low vision and have trouble getting my bible under my standing digital magnifer, I have to fold it back on itself then it doesn't lay flat so I have to hold it a certain way for it to catch the image on magnifier (very fatiguing). These spiral bound ones will be great to use now. I just ordered it, can't wait! Great for the low vision community.
I was just wondering if Becca used journaling Bibles! These are gorgeous! Journaling Bibles are my favorite! When I look for a Bible I lean towards ones that have space to write in. We do want to see what Becca does with these Bibles.
This is the first time I've watched your channel and I've now subscribed. I was also just as excited as Becca and ordered my set thanks to a wonderful person below who mentioned getting it from Christian Books.
Thanks for reviewing these. I’ve been wondering about them. I like that the leading is wider. (I think I used the correct term). We get to learn so much from both of you.
i'm not entirely sure how i got to be watching this video but i just wanted to say that you two seem like the loveliest couple. also i LOVE becca rocking the grey hair!
Wow, what an amazing set! I still have the interleaved bible I disk-bound for journaling. It was a fun project, but not a nice looking as this is. Thank you for showing this, and the heads up about the individual books.
I have already sent a link to your review to my fellow co-worker who is into journaling in her bible! I told her I thought of her as soon as I watched. Thanks for the wonderful review!
Interesting. I might just pick up the NT one to check out. They look really nice. Interestingly enough there looks to be enough space on the inside margin for me to use my little single icon system too. I’m glad they didn’t push the text into the inside margin. The whole thing looks like a very easy read. Thanks for the video as always.
Stop it already, Crossway! Just stop it! Stop making works of such aesthetically pleasing, high quality for the price, and overall valuableness, because you're tempting me to purchase them when I have plenty of Bibles to read! 😅
That was almost too much awesomeness for me! Haha! I ordered these off of Amazon yesterday and should have them here tomorrow. Pretty stoked. I wish you two could come to my house to do the unboxing! 😂
I would love a spiral bound journaling Bible. It looks really nice. Crossway does an awesome job. I can not purchase one at this point but would love to have one!!! Woohoo!!!
Y’all are cute and it is fun when you do videos together. I totally love all the videos you have done on your own as well. Have you done a video on the best Bible pens and highlighters on your channel yet?
I just received the set for Christmas and I’m excited to get started on January 1st as I read chronologically. I’m going to set up a separate Small binder for resources that I tipped in to my Bible last year. The problem with that is that my Bible became so thick I couldn’t take notes. Im excited, thank you for sharing your thoughts. What highlighters and pens do you like?
I finally received mine last week. It really is beautiful and wonderful and useful! My only complaint is the spiral wire. I wish it were a slightly thicker gauge.
I nominate myself to get the CSB Notetaking Bible for my youth pastor or myself if he doesn't want it. He typically uses the ESV most of the time so I don't know if he'll take it or not; but if I win it I'll be sure to put it to good use because I believe that notetakers are world changers and history makers!!!🕊🔥🙏❤😇
Honestly think this is what I've been looking for doing my Bible journaling. I love doing word studies and this gives me so much room to annotate the text and to take notes. Thank you so much for bringing these to my be attention By the way have either of you heard of the "The James Method" of Verse Mapping. It's simply a method of doing in-depth studies on a verse in Scripture. I discovered it recently and I'm hoping to get started very soon. I think Becca especially would love it. There are other verse mapping resources but given Becca's love for aesthetics and design I think she would love it as it's so well designed and looks beautiful as well as being very well thought out and laid out. I discovered it on Instagram. I actually think these spiral bound Bible journals would mix well with her verse mapping journals.
Please do the 2011 NIV loose Leaf with binder by Hendrickson, the NASB Scripture Study Notebook New Testament by Steadfast and the CSB Scripture notebook NT set. Thanks for all your great videos.
When will something similar be printed by any publisher with no lines in the note-taking space!? It's incredibly frustrating as I was so excited, thinking these Bibles were unlined before you pointed them out. Becca was a wonderful addition to this review, bringing her genuine enthusiasm and excitement as well as her artist's eye -- colors appear differently depending upon screens and settings, so hearing what the colors actually look like in real life was very helpful. This set has so many positives that it's unsurprising that it's selling so well. I'm glad for those who will find it helpful, and selfishly, I'm hopeful that the popularity of this Bible will inspire the publication of an unlined spiral-bound journaling Bible sooner rather than later.
On a side note, I also noticed that Crossway will be producing a dyslexia font Bible. Should be out by Christmas. I hope you'll have an opportunity to review it! Thanks for everything you do.
No maps. Really glad they didn't include maps. I have the NT and it's really nice. However, I'm not sure I ever understood the rationale behind a journaling Bible. If I really get into journaling daily, I'll fill one up pretty quick and have to buy another. But to save money, I would rather use a blank copy as a master copy and just photocopy pages as I need them, fill those up with writing and file them away and/or punch holes in them for a separate binder or folder, and then repeat so I don't have to keep buying a new Bible journal after filling one up. I think Crossway did have or still has some PDFs that you can purchase, download, and print but I'm not sure if they are journals.
The unboxing was oddly emotional for me. This is exactly what I desperately wanted as a teenager in the 1970s. I photocopied whole books of the Bible and then put them into three-ring binders.
We need a follow-up video after Becca does some journaling pages 🙂
Yes! Great idea!
Yes! Please!
Becca's excitement is contagious😊 and I LOVED hearing her name the colors....❤❤❤ There is no way you could have done this video without her😊
So true!
@@timwildsmith Your wife is adorable and precious Tim. Y'all are one of the cutest and sweetest couples I have seen. Love this video and all the content. Thank You. Love these books as well just perfection.
Just bought for under $102 plus shipping on Christian Books. I have been waiting for these, excited like Becca.
Do you know if they have larger prints???... I don't think I could read a 9 1/2 point print..
Thank you so very much
Suzette Thibault
Can we get Becca to do a pen test bleed through / shadow video? These look perfect for how I study.
These colors are beautiful! 😍
How awesome is Becca? She has a beautiful voice. Nice to see her on the video. You’re awesome too Tim!
The best!
Becca and Tim you two are so much fun to watch reviewing together! I have been waiting for you to review this set!
Spiral bound individual books coming out July 18
Love the spacing between the text and generous margins. ❤
These look great and spiral is wonderful for flat writing. This is a great idea and every publisher should do this. Love the ability to take notes. Crossway is great
I absolutely love to watch your videos even more when Becca is present. I love her enthusiasm, her excitement. I love the dynamic between the two of you. These videos make my day. God bless you both.
Thank you so much!!
I love when Becca joins you on your reviews! Now we need to see some of what Becca does with her art and journaling in the books. You should do a follow up with some of her results!
Becca must be an artist to know the color scheme. I agree with her descriptions.
Ordered one to show my “how to read your Bible class…”. Great resource thanks
Yesterday I went to Goodwill and found an almost new NLT study Bible and was soo excited. Two weeks ago,I found an almost new ESV study Bible. Now I’m thinking I want this because of the convenience of note taking being included. Wow Gotta start saving my Pennie’s. LOL. Thanks for the info 🙏. Ruth
Westminster bookstore has them for 50% off. Including the entire set.
These look brilliant. Crossway are great at not only making quality Bibles, but making them in such a way that makes you want to engage deeper with the Word of God. Thanks for the review both!
I just started Seminary and bought this set as my bible for my studies. I am taking a ton of notes in them so far.
Awesome!
Thank you so much! Just ordered mine today! Love you guys!!!💞
Absolutely fabulous. I want a set of those. Adding to my wish-list. It is a very long list of Bibles already. lol Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, Scott!
I just got the New Testament yesterday. I’m going to use it at church for sermon notes. I started transferring notes yesterday and it worked great!
Great to hear!

I ❤you guys. This is the first video I have seen of yours, and it was so much fun to watch. I will definitely be buying this set.
Welcome!
Love love love Becca's excitement!

I got the set I ordered. These are heavy, not flimsy. Love everything about them. I will use in studies.
I have these and they are amazing for journaling and note taking. I use them along with my CJB and it has transformed my bible study.
They are sooo nice! I had to click over to watch because ESV is the version I read and my favorite. Becca makes it fun! 😄🌿🕊
I love these!! I’ve bought the Pentateuch and poetry right now several of us that are in a Bible study have bought these for doing the inductive Bible study and we’re going through the Bible from genesis to revelations and we deep dive through them as well
The Westminster bookstore has the complete set for only $74.99 right now!
Just ordered it from their website the shipping was only 5.00 s0 79.99 total. For the entire set.
Thank you! Your comment was very helpful to me. 😊
$97.50 now 😢
Love your wife's reactions, color descriptions, printing terms, etc. 🦋👩🦰
Thanks so much!

This was both hilarious and glorious! Who else but Crossway? I mean, truly! Wow!
These.
Are.
Amazing.
And now I must have them. All of them. ♥
Great video, I'm looking to get a spiral bound Bible for my Wife. Tim, another great video from you and Becca, Thank you
This is the first time I've watched your channel and I've now subscribed. I was also just as excited as Becca and ordered my set thanks to a wonderful person below who mentioned getting it from Christian Books.
Welcome! We have a good time.
Those are awesome! I need them because I don't want to write in my premium bible!
What a great opening! I will buy them all. Thank you
Very well done Wildsmith's! I love your energy. I want them all but I would really like a nice quality bible first so they are on the bucket list.
Thanks so much!
Very Cool!! Always great to see Becca on the channel!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for reviewing these. I’ve been wondering about them. I like that the leading is wider. (I think I used the correct term). We get to learn so much from both of you.
I see this set in my near future! It looks perfect for journaling.
i'm not entirely sure how i got to be watching this video but i just wanted to say that you two seem like the loveliest couple. also i LOVE becca rocking the grey hair!
Thank you!!
You too make a great couple. Well it’s a beautiful Bible to Add to your collection.❤
Thank you so much!
Wow, what an amazing set! I still have the interleaved bible I disk-bound for journaling. It was a fun project, but not a nice looking as this is. Thank you for showing this, and the heads up about the individual books.
Not my style, but I know a few people who’d really benefit from this. Crossway’s innovation in Bible publishing is truly astounding!
This spiral bound is amazing! Crossway bringing it with Bibles as always!
Yes indeed!
Ordered these from Westminster Bookstore for 50% off until June 25th. Thank you!
I have already sent a link to your review to my fellow co-worker who is into journaling in her bible! I told her I thought of her as soon as I watched. Thanks for the wonderful review!
Thanks for sharing!!
Just purchased the entire set on Westminster bookstore website for a total price of 79.99. Thanks for the information
I got mine from there too!
Y’all are adorable! I really love these. And I am ridiculously tempted.
Thanks for reviewing these! I just ordered them on Westminster Bookstore, where the whole set is available for $75.
Nice deal!
Hehehe! Becca’s excitement is so cute! These are amazing. I will probably put them on my birthday/Christmas list!
I just got this! So excited to use it!
You guys are the best! This was a fun one to watch - Becca stealing your line 😆
Glad you liked it!!
Interesting. I might just pick up the NT one to check out. They look really nice. Interestingly enough there looks to be enough space on the inside margin for me to use my little single icon system too. I’m glad they didn’t push the text into the inside margin.

Oh my - could not resist this! Already ordered my set!!
Awesome!
Stop it already, Crossway! Just stop it! Stop making works of such aesthetically pleasing, high quality for the price, and overall valuableness, because you're tempting me to purchase them when I have plenty of Bibles to read! 😅
😂😂😂
I 100 percent agree . I’m going broke 😂
Haha me too
Ditto 😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was almost too much awesomeness for me! Haha! I ordered these off of Amazon yesterday and should have them here tomorrow. Pretty stoked. I wish you two could come to my house to do the unboxing! 😂
I purchased the new testament and i LOVE IT!!!
Wonderful!
I just ordered these today! The 5 pc set is currently at ChristianBook for $98. I'm so excited to get them!
Awesome deal... enjoy!
I ordered and received my set today, the 16th.! Oh, so beautiful!
do they have large print??? Thanks
Suzette
No, but the books are large. There's space between the lines. I can read it legibly
Just like a kid with her new books 😁
I would love a spiral bound journaling Bible. It looks really nice. Crossway does an awesome job. I can not purchase one at this point but would love to have one!!!
Woohoo!!!
Awesomeness personified !❤❤
Great, fun video! Excited about these!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you. This was helpful and fun! Bless you!
Pretty neat! Thanks Tim and Becca.
Our pleasure!
Y’all are cute and it is fun when you do videos together. I totally love all the videos you have done on your own as well. Have you done a video on the best Bible pens and highlighters on your channel yet?
Have been waiting!!!!!!! Wish it came in a 10.5 point font for us visually impaired spiral bible lovers!
Can Becca come back with a few of her entires? I wanna know what she plans to do with her set.
Crossway better lock up Becca for their marketing department before someone else puts out a no-compete contract and signs her away.
I just received the set for Christmas and I’m excited to get started on January 1st as I read chronologically. I’m going to set up a separate Small binder for resources that I tipped in to my Bible last year. The problem with that is that my Bible became so thick I couldn’t take notes. Im excited, thank you for sharing your thoughts. What highlighters and pens do you like?
😍😍 This was so exciting!!!
awesome review -- gorgeous colors
These are awesome! Thanks for showing them to us.
You bet!
just ordered the pentateuch cant wait to get it
I finally received mine last week. It really is beautiful and wonderful and useful! My only complaint is the spiral wire. I wish it were a slightly thicker gauge.
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! I've already put these on my wish list!
Wonderful!
I hate to admit it…..oh I really really want these!!! Oh my! I suspect easy to add pages as well!
I nominate myself to get the CSB Notetaking Bible for my youth pastor or myself if he doesn't want it.

These are gorgeous.
5:14 Becca is so cute!!

Westminster bookstore has them for 50% off right now. Including the entire set bundle at that discount.
I just got a 10% off coupon code the already discounted bundle price at Christian Book, but 50% off retail at Westminster is better. Thank you!
I love the way this looks. Wish I could afford this set. A fixed income makes it difficult to buy extra things at time.
On a side note, I also noticed that Crossway will be producing a dyslexia font Bible. Should be out by Christmas. I hope you'll have an opportunity to review it! Thanks for everything you do.
Oh wow!
That was great! Becca, you should tell us the perfect pens to use! I'm a pen snob [gel 0.38] lol😅
I wish they had an option for the full Bible or for the whole OT as well.
Watching from the Seychelles! Love you guys❤
great review
Good morning everyone!
In a few months (or days?) can you do a video on how Rebecca journaled in these books?
Good idea!
As a left-handed person spiral books are usually a nightmare, but this would work!
