I recently was asked to review a new Bible that has been placed on the market by Zondervan Publishers.
This amazing Bible arrived on a Friday that was kicking off a weekend that involved a basketball tournament for my daughter, a band concert in another state for one of my son’s, a weekend visit from my mom, and a weekend college visit from our two oldest sons and their girlfriends.
When I found the package on our front porch I was so excited!
Mom took this picture of me showing my happiness after discovering this Bible’s appearance in the midst of our crazy weekend!
I LOVE THIS BIBLE!
It is small enough to carry in my purse yet contains many practical, short one-minute devotionals for those days when I am on the run and want to have a quick “spiritual lift” while waiting in the car to pick kids up or while sitting in a doctor’s office waiting room.
The leather cover makes the Bible very sturdy which is also nice considering how “weathered” things can become when being carried here and there and everywhere.
As a mom who is trying to juggle many different schedules while also walking a very painful road of grief after losing my son to cancer, I find that having a Bible with me at all times is a MUST. Knowing that I can reach in my purse and be comforted by His Word keeps me pressing on in an often very difficult “race for the finish line of life.”
I also love that the devotions contained in this Bible have a one-minute option for moments when I can just take a quick break but then also offers five and ten-minute options for those times when I have the opportunity to stop, reflect, pray, and dig a little deeper.

A Busy Mom Trying to Stay a Balanced and God-focused Woman,

In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 

I had been looking at Bibles for a few weeks. One day, I made up my mind about which one I was going to get. Then when I made my way to the store, it was gone. In it’s place was this one, and I loved it immediately! It was an absolute perfect fit into my schedule. I often carry it in my purse, too.
I love you, Trish! I missed you in Sunday school yesterday. I have to tell how much I adore your sweet hubby. Seeing him hanging that swing for Macy the other day in your big tree…….as I drove by……it brought tears to my eyes. A father’s love. I saw it in Chad. 🙂 Love yoU!
