CSB Rainbow Study Bible, Hardcover

As a Reference Bible, this is great. This Bible was purchased to replace my last Rainbow Study Bible, which was accidentally destroyed when Tea was spilled on it. This updated version is even better in format than the last. Every page has a listing of what the colors stand for, so that is one less thing to look up or memorize. There are 12 themes in the study listed, they are: 1. God 2. Salvation 3. Sin, 4. Evil 5. Love 6. Family 7. Prophecy 8. History 9. Discipleship 10. Commandments 11. Faith 12. Outreach Having these ideas as I read the Bible makes it easier to understand what is being said and how it relates to me. This also makes it easier to organize teaching as well. YES, I do highly recommend this Translation. It is both accurate and readable. Let’s talk about the translations of the Bible. My first personal Bible was the King James Version. Everyone my age has read that version and many people are divided about it. I personally never liked studying Shakespeare and the KJV is that same language. Many people who hated reading Shakespeare’s works in HS, swear by this translation of the bible. Then I received The Living Bible. I loved this translation because it is so easy to read. It was translated into English that was and is spoken today. Reading was easy and comfortable. The only problem was that it is Paraphrased, so it is not a completely accurate (word-for-word) translation. A bonus is that the church we go to uses this Bible. Of course, a physical Bible is heavy and not as easy to use as one on an e-reader. So I purchased the New American Standard Bible (NASB) for my Kindle. This is a very accurate Translation and easy to read. I am happy with this version and use it often. But there are so many others and I had to check them out. The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (with Cross-References): Old and New Testaments. This is possibly the best word-for-word translation. The features that make it great are jumping to verses that are related to the study you are doing. It works well on my latest version of Kindle. The Christian Standard Bible is available on Kindle or hard copy. According to the forward (from Holman Publishing Group}, two of the goals for making this version are: 1. Provide English-speaking people worldwide with an accurate translation in contemporary English. 2. Provide an accurate translation for personal study, sermon preparation, private devotions, and memorization. This translation seems to do that well.

I own many different Bible study books- and Bibles in general! This is the MOST AMAZING one I’ve ever come across! So much detail- beginner friendly! The color code helps so much because I’ve tried on my own and failed! Has 365 verses for the year so you can easily memorize a daily scripture! I give this one an A++

I purchased this, while looking for another Bible for myself, but it called to me for my Aunt as well. She has other Bibles but without knowing her preferred translation type I was a little nervous buying such a personal gift. She saw CSV on the cover & said, "That's all I need." :) After having her open it up & showing her why it's called the rainbow Bible she was really intrigued with the color labeling aspect & appreciated the maps, both at the end (as is somewhat typical in most Bibles) but that they're found throughout in passages as well. I reassured her that if she truly didn't like it I would be more than happy to exchange it for one that she would, but she insisted that this was perfect & she was excited to get into reading with it. (My Mom also said she repeated the same to her the next morning after Christmas Eve as well). So I went in to purchase this for myself & ended up finding the perfect gift for my Aunt who seems quite happy with it. I'm looking forward to buying one for myself still as well. The books themselves are made with seemingly very nice quality, the spines nice & tight, strong hardback, good quality paper (thin of course since it's a Bible but a bit thicker for the end map pages) & just overall is pretty to look at with all of its beautiful COLORS. I do wish it would have come with a box for safe keeping, but since it's a hardback I figure that's why they didn't? Plus the price point (I did get it on sale though) is much lower than say a leather-like Bible, so that's also probably why it doesn't come with one & is just a personal preference. If you're hesitating on buying it, don't. It's beautiful & I feel will really hope those of us that struggle with understanding the word, or just need some more guidance maybe in connecting to the context of some of the language.

I find the Rainbow CSB Bible to be very user-friendly. The headings are clear and easy to read, and the color-coded categorization at the bottom of each page makes it easy to understand the context of the passage. I recommend this Bible to my friends.

Love the color coding. Makes it so much easier to find things.

A good study bible!

Beautiful hardback, Bible! Easily readable print. Good modern version I bought two of these. Good price. They make excellent gifts for a younger reader.

I love this bible, it makes it much easier for me to understand the context behind the passages!!

SUPER EXCITED!Arrived today ( on earliest estimated date given)Very well packaged.You have to know the paper in this hardcover purchase feels so much sturdier than in other bibles I have purchased,either online or in stores.Though some of the color codes are similar to each other it didn't take me more than a minute when checking the book out to observe the difference so now I can easily see the difference when reading.Would recommend this highly.Do be AWARE this is not a bible with STUDYTNOTES @ bottom of page, but since I already have bibles like that this is just what I was wanting as a new addition to my collection.. For those wanting to know this is SMYTHE SEWN,not glued! Several COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS & introduction to each chapter.You WILL NOT REGRET purchaseing this Bible.

Bought for some teenagers and they all loved it

I am very happy to receive this, it came earlier than the target date. The prints are big and very easy to read. I am very excited to use this.

We love it...it's great in paper quality and binding.

Said to be great for dyslexic thinking minds- my mother said she loves it has helped her really get a wider understanding how the bible systematically flows-
