MY REVIEW

A new Bible full of helpful insight and advice!

My experience with the CSB Life Counsel Bible has been great. The hardback cover makes it a sturdy book, the format has proven to be easy-to-read, and the additional features usually pique my interest. With the articles that cover a wide array of topics, this Bible offers information and perspectives that I do not get from the other ones I reference. I am looking forward to continuing to use it alongside my other resources.

I am sure that anyone in need of a new Bible or just some additional counsel in his or her Christian life could benefit from the CSB Life Counsel Bible

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
