What first struck me when I picked up A Bible Study for Women was the gorgeous cover and the feel of it. I am a sucker for soft binding, and this study book has that soft binding, is the perfect size, it stays open where you want it to, and has a ribbon marker to always mark where you leave off. It has a wonderful texture, the colors are inviting, and the pages are made from a thicker, more quality paper, which would be perfect for artistic journaling, if you prefer that sort of thing. I myself am artistically challenged, so I will stick with using it for writing...and maybe some cute doodling.

The first part of the journal is insights from How to Study the Bible, which I found refreshing! There is everything from preparation before beginning your Bible study, as well as different study styles, and motivational tips, which I really found helpful.

The rest of the study is blank pages for you to use how you please. The pages are lined, with a place to put the date and study topic, as well as a nice floral border. I could see using these pages to write daily Scripture, sermon or Sunday school notes, small group notes, or use it for your private Bible study time.

This would be the perfect gift for any occasion and any woman on your gift list, yourself included! This is a wonderful resource that I can't recommend enough!
