A Gorgeous Bible with Incredible Artwork
I couldn’t be happier with my new GraceLaced Bible. It’s absolutely beautiful!!! the gold edged pages give it such an elegant touch, and the leather cover feels incredibly soft and high quality in your hands.Ruth’s artwork is, as always, stunning. I’ve been a huge fan of her work for a while, and this Bible definitely did not disappoint. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed and inspiring.I also added tabs to help me find the books more easily (I’m just used to using them), and they fit perfectly without taking away from the overall look.Overall, I’m beyond happy with this purchase, it’s both meaningful and visually gorgeous, and I know I’ll treasure it for years to come.

In love but sadly returning
This Bible is BEAUTIFUL! The illustrated chapter pages and verses are breathtaking. However, I purchased this not realizing that it does not have the words of Jesus in red letters. This probably isn’t a deal breaker for most but for me I personally prefer the red letters. The pages are very thin and the illustrations show through the other side. I’m not sure if highlights and journaling would bleed as I haven’t tried since I am ultimately returning the Bible since there is a small tear on the inner front cover. I would definitely repurchase if a study Bible version with red lettering were released!

Stunning , bees, birds, floral watercolor.. i could go on but i wont. Just buy it❤️
Stunning Bible..I went through every page last night and savored all the images. Im an outdoor girl so this was perfect for me. There is so much detail the back of the book as small images of every chapter and a synopsis of each chapter as well. Hummingbirds, butterflies, bees.. on the journaling pages are beautiful quotes with flowers. This is my number one Bible right now. I think Ruth a phenomenal job in putting together this Bible.. i bought the deep green and couldn’t be happier.

Stunning!
This Bible is absolutely gorgeous! A work of art! I have the leathertouch cover and the embossing is beautiful. I do wish Bible publishers and creators wouldn’t “brand” their bibles, I would prefer it just say Holy Bible. But that’s really the only flaw. This will not be a journaling Bible for me. It will be a Bible I set out on my coffee table to encourage family and friends to engage with the Word of God.

Get one for yourself and everyone you know!
This instantly became my favorite journaling Bible! The cover design and color are amazing. It also feels nice to touch. It’s not grippy/sticky like some faux leathers I’ve had. The binding is very nice and it lays down flat. The artwork of course is stunning! I prefer my journaling Bible to have white paper, and this has a perfect soft white paper. The paper texture is smooth and feels great while writing. I can use my favorite Mildliner highlighters with absolutely no bleed through and very little, if any, ghosting. It also comes in a gilded box with matching cover design. A perfect gift for any occasion!

Lovely Bible, uncluttered pages, easy to read and notate
I was so excited to see the lovely watercolor illustrations! The TruTone Quiet Forest edition has a pretty floral carved design in the leather-like cover. I have never had a single column Bible before. It is uncluttered and easy to read. This is also my first journaling bible and I was a bit hesitant to actually write in it. But I tried pencil, and ball point pen and wrote carefully on the lined margin. I can definitely tell something was written, but there was no bleed through of pencil or ink. The big test was a highlighter which left only a slight mark on the next page. I think I can comfortably use colored pencils and pens with a light touch to journal alongside the text. It is already beautiful, so my notes won’t make it more lovely, but I can use it to notate meaningful thoughts and cross-references, along the sides.I received an advance review copy from the publisher for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
