Do you have one? Have you seen one?
Journaling Bibles seem to be popping up everywhere, and this weekend I had the chance to flip through a friend's version. It was really beautiful... not so much because the art work was super fabulous (though it was pretty amazing), but just because it was such a work of love.
Basically, a journaling Bible is a regular bible with very wide margins that allow space for writing, drawing, painting, stickers, pictures, etc.
Then it is up to the owner to fill up all that blank space.
I think this would be a great creative project for kids who like to doodle, for young artists, or even as a whole family bible study: read several passages, then everyone decorate the margin in their own style. I could see a teen really going to town with this.
I am on the hunt for a Catholic bible with wide margins that would work for this project...

I have not seen those Bibles, and I don't know of a Catholic offering. Somewhere I saw specific books of the Bible offered separately with the text up top and space for journaling and notes below, but I can't remember where that was!

I saw several on Pinterest (not Catholic), and actually tried one of my own last year (not really a Journaling Bible but everytime I read it I made an entry (doodles, sketches, notes) into my journal. But I couldn't keep it up so now I use the journal as a homily/prayer journal, sometimes Bible journal, but my main Bible reading journal I keep on a Google doc, since I read the Bible early in the morning in bed on my phone when hubby and Nino are still sleeping and it's so much easier to copy paste passages and make notes as I go. Hopefully will translate one day into more artsy journal pages. :)
Maybe Michele or Margot or some other Catholic publisher could publish one! I'd go for it.

I've been really interested in this too since I've seen so many beautiful examples lately. Since I couldn't find a Catholic Journaling bible I am going to start using a Midori style notebook with booklets for this purpose. That's my goal anyway. :)

Unfortunately there is not a Catholic Journaling Bible available yet. The only Bible that includes all the books of the Bible is the NRSV Notetakers Bible. You can find them on Amazon, but they are out of print so the prices can be quite high at times.
NRSV Notetaker's Bible

Me too Cay. I've reached out to TAN and St Benedict's Press letting them know there is a real need.

Me, too! I saw there is a new one to be released soon on Amazon, but I don't think it's a Catholic bible, and I was so hoping ti would be!
