Thomas Nelson releases NET ABIDE Bible Journals

Nashville, Ten. (Jan. 2021) – Thomas Nelson, in partnership with Bible Gateway and the Taylor University Center for Scripture Engagement, is pleased to announce the release of the NET Abide Bible Journals.

“The Abide Bible Journals are a beautifully designed tool to help you to reflect on God’s Word so that you can better meet and know God,” remarked Phil Collins, PhD, Professor of Christian Ministries and Executive Director, Taylor University Center for Scripture Engagement. “The prompts and the space provided for writing are designed to help you slow down and immerse yourself in Scriptures so that God can change you from the inside out. Don’t skim over God’s Word, let it become a part of your very being.”

The NET Abide Bible Journals are designed to help readers experience the peace, hope, and growth that come from encountering the voice and presence of God in Scripture. Using four, time-tested Scripture engagement tools, readers can deepen their experience with God in Scripture and become transformed.

Each journal volume is designed to help readers focus on the message of a section of the Bible and includes individual book introductions, a single-column Scripture layout, and powerful passage-specific prompts with light journaling lines opposite each page of Scripture.

Readers can focus on one book at a time with 66 books of the Bible divided into 45 individual, paperback NET Abide Bible Journals or delve deeper into the study of the Old and New Testaments divided into five box sets: The Writings, The Prophets, The Law, The Gospel and Acts and The Epistles and Revelation. A complete Bible box set of NET Abide Bible Journals is also available. Each journal showcases stunning cover artwork by Stephen Crotts and features:

  • Clear and readable Thomas Nelson NET Typeface
  • Thick paper suited for journaling
  • Brief book introductions
  • Innovative Scripture-engagement prompts
  • Handheld size for personal and group study
  • Flexible sewn binding
