CSB Women’s Study Bible

CSB Women's Study Bible

Mama’s and young women alike- If you’re looking for a study Bible to  go deeper in your study time with God’s Word, the brand new CSB Women’s Study Bible is one you’re going to love—and it’s available right now at a retailer near you!

Created by a team of women who love Scripture and want to help you engage with it meaningfully, the CSB Women’s Study Bible is a robust, full-color study Bible. It’s packed with verse-by-verse study notes, word studies, profiles of women in the Bible, devotional content, time-lines, and tools to help live out what you’re learning.

Whether you’re studying alone or with a group, this is a resource that will meet you right where you are—and help you grow.

Some of my favorite features include:

  • The font size 😍- The 9.5 point font is so nice on my eyes. It isn’t too small (I do wear bifocals with a reader on the bottom), and is in a clear classic book style
  • Pages- Each of the crisp white pages are so soft, I don’t think I’ve ever felt a paper like this?
  • Beauty- The beautiful floral edition has the same design on the cover as the dust jacket
  • The layout- I really like a double column layout in a study Bible; I especially love how they have placed the references under the text, but separate/above the study notes! It’s so much easier to see. The page breaks are also nice
  • Charts- The charts spread throughout make connections all over Scripture (for example, connecting parallel Psalms to Jonah’s prayer in the book of Jonah).
  • Translation- The CSB is maybe my favorite study Bible translation.
  • 2 satin ribbons

This is a hefty Bible! When they say robust, that’s what they mean. It is large, thick, and full of so much information. I’m really looking forward to diving in! The word studies are compelling, and I already see so many paths of reading and learning I cannot wait to go down with the Lord!

My Bag My Story: Providing Support and Worth

There are over 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system right now. (US Department of Education (ED) As they move from one temporary home to another, their possessions are often carried in a trash bag. My Bag, My Story is a non-profit organization working to improve the lives of children in foster care by providing them with high-quality bags for their belongings.

This is a heartfelt initiative that addresses a painful truth faced by most children in foster care.

My Bag My Story donates a high-quality, durable bag to a foster child for every bag that is purchased. These bags are more than just practical; they are symbols of support and recognition, affirming the inherent value and worth of every child without a forever family. Through this gesture, they are not only provided something functional, but it also helps foster children feel seen and valued.

We can do something that makes a real difference in the life of a real child. Order a bag today and one will be given to a child navigating the foster care system!

Each year, around 20,000 young people age out of the foster care system at age 18 (or 21 in some states) without being reunited with their families or adopted, which can present significant challenges for their transition to independent living. (US Department of Education (ED) My Bag My Story provides a small gesture that makes a big impact.

“I started My Bag My Story after becoming a foster parent and watching children always having their belongings in a trash bag or grocery sack or nothing. Everyone kept saying this was normal. I said it doesn’t have to be normal, so I set out to have bags made for kids,” said Cara Finger, Founder of My Bag My Story. “Having a bag to call your own instead of a trash bag gives a child dignity and makes them feel valued. A bag seems so small but makes a huge difference in their foster care experience. Making a child feel like they are worth more than trash is so important to me.”

What makes My Bag My Story different? A few key things:

  • Through its donation program, every dollar donated goes towards giving a child in foster care a bag they can call their own.
  • My Bag My Story has partnered with over 30 Tennessee-based organizations who work directly with children in the foster care system in order to get them high-quality duffel bags and backpacks.
  • Supporters: As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, My Bag My Story depends on the support of local and national corporations, including Dell, The Predators Foundation, St. George’s Episcopal Church, and Target.

Ordinary Angels, Starring Hilary Swank- In Theaters Now!

Buy tickets today to see Ordinary Angels in theaters starting February 23rd!

Ordinary Angels

Back in August of 2023, I told you about a great new movie coming to theaters, Ordinary Angels. You don’t want to miss this powerful film, based on a true story. You’ll leave he theatre feeling inspired to be an angel in your own community! It isn’t often that you will hear me promoting a movie in theaters, but this is one to  support!

Based on a remarkable true story, Ordinary Angels centers on Sharon (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who dis-
covers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family moving mountains to do it.

What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels. This movie is going to be perfect for families, especially those with older children; there is no profanity or nudity (the main character is a recovering alcoholic, so there is a scene of drinking in the beginning. I would be comfortable with my 12-13 year old seeing this film).

I especially loved the original news footage at the end, showing the actual community coming together, Sharon herself, and the family she helped in the 1990s.

Buy tickets today to see Ordinary Angels in theaters starting February 23rd!
