A few days ago, my son and I were in a doctor’s office waiting room. He spied a Bible on the side table and asked if we could read it together. I was mildly surprised since he’s never asked that question before, and I realized that it’s been a long time since I asked him to read with me. We sat together reading Genesis, and he asked me several questions. I really enjoyed those moments of fellowship with him. When we got home, my husband suggested that we give him the He Reads Truth Bible. It might be a bit advanced for him right now (11 years old) but he will definitely grow into it.

He had a hard time reading the King James Version we found in the waiting room, so I’m hoping the Christian Standard Bible translation will be easier for him. There are so many advanced features in this Bible edition, including timelines and infographics. For someone interested in studying the Bible as part of a small group or Sunday School class, these connections would be so helpful.

I was a Bible minor in college, but much of that knowledge has been pushed aside to make room to remember passwords and my kids’ shoe sizes. For me, the cross-references included in the chapter pages helped me to make connections of important information.

You might think that a Bible format designed for men wouldn’t be “pretty” but that’s not so! The He Reads Truth Bible contains beautifully lettered verses, two bookmarks, and more. It’s lovely — in a masculine way.
