I just ordered the legacy from Holman not from amazon or barns and nobles i told the lady that i saw the bible for 80 dollars on the Barnes and Nobles site and she matched the price for me no questions asked, how cool is that?! Every time i do business with them i am shocked by there great service! My only concern is I may not get the quality of the pictures posted based on your comments… Anyone ever order from Holman direct?

David,

Gary,

I would return it to Amazon, and tell them that they sent you the wrong one. Ask them to send you another one.

Scott Davis just ordered one and he got the right one.

Other than that not sure what to suggest? You can also contact HCSB they are very responsive.

Scott if you are going to give it away for Christmas give to Gary, he ordered one and got the wrong one - hahahah

I am a truly converted CSB user! I have been going back and forth between the ESV and the CSB for several years now. However, I am finding myself going to the CSB more and more these days. After reading the posts here I finally jumped and purchased a Legacy edition through Amazon. I bought one of the “new but with defects” but I had too look a long time before I found the defects. The price was $43.00, however, with the application of an Amazon CC they took another $30.00 dollars off. So the final cost for this bible was around $18 ! The leather on it is absolutely wonderful and extremely soft to the touch. The font is not too large, nor too small. I am a little disappointed in the “readability” of the text though. I like the Bible but I tend to be a text-only kind of guy. All the little letters in the text for cross references I find a bit distracting. I may keep this Bible for personal use….but then I may give it away for a Christmas gift. A beautiful Bible indeed.

So now that I said what a lazy person I am, let me add the following.

I study my bible, theology, and various other related books on an average of 2-3 hours per day. During that time I also stop to pray and mediate on what I am reading. Most it not all of the books that I read also site scriptures. This usually happens at night before bedtime, and not in the morning.

Although I don’t do the traditional morning prayer, at least not in any intense manner. I mean I do pray in the morning but it’s very short, like less than 5 minutes (sometimes even less than that), so to me that doesn’t count.

And it’s on the rare occasion that I go any real length of time without reading my bible, but it has happened, and I expect it will happen again (vacations, super busy at work, etc), but even then I manage to squeeze in some scriptures into my life.

Brian I use to think it’s like working out, but is it? It would be great to hear your thoughts more on this. If I read my bible everyday say for 1/2 hour it’s going to build some sort of spiritual muscle?

I also think that being a Christian for a long time, you have a wealth of scripture memorized, and it is easy for me to just ponder on those thoughts. I guess what I am trying to do more of is let my life become a constant where I am always mindful of God’s presences in my life, and growing in his wisdom and becoming more like Christ.

Paul makes certain statements like “always in prayer” what does that mean? I think it means that he is constantly mindful of God’s presences in his life, and that he can pray not only out loud but in his thoughts as well.

Well just looking for help and a better understanding of what others do, and how it may help me out.

I agree not everyone is wired the same way and so probably respond to different means of spiritual formation in different ways. I suppose it is like working out - you have to keep your muscles guessing or they won’t grow and get stronger. Do what you’ve always done and you’ll get what you’ve always gotten - you’ll just plateau. So, I guess it is good to do a change up once in awhile.
