BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Revive Our Hearts and Holman Bible Publishers have partnered to create a new Christian Standard Bible (CSB) notetaking edition to encourage women to incorporate journaling in their study of God’s Word.

The “CSB Notetaking Bible, Revive Our Hearts Edition” was inspired by the journaling experience of Nancy Demoss Wolgemuth, Revive Our Hearts founder, after a friend gave her a CSB Notetaking Bible in 2018.

“That Bible was my faithful companion on what became a five-year journey through God’s Word,” said Wolgemuth. “As I journaled through Scripture, soaking in each chapter and verse, I developed a deep appreciation for the readability and faithfulness of this translation, and eventually it became my primary go-to for personal study and teaching.”

Revive Our Hearts is a global ministry helping women to find freedom, fullness and fruitfulness in Christ. Through decades of ministry, Wolgemuth has shared the message of heart revival and biblical womanhood through daily teaching, resources, events such as True Woman conferences, and digital and broadcast outreaches.

“The CSB team and Revive Our Hearts share a commitment to God’s Word and a conviction of its transformational power,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “It’s an honor to partner with this ministry in this notetaking edition and to encourage believers as they journal through their discipleship journey.”

For those who use the new notetaking Bible, Wolgemuth said she hopes it will “become a means of fresh growth in your walk with Christ, the living Word.”

The “CSB Notetaking Bible, Revive Our Hearts Edition,” will be released July 15. The edition features prayers and encouragement written by Wolgemuth, along with tips for Bible journaling and a one-year Bible reading plan.

“What an amazing journey it was for me to journal through the Bible – and still is today, as I continue to steep in God’s Word, line upon line, day after day. So rich. Encouraging. Practical. Life-giving and life-transforming,” Wolgemuth said. “But this journey, this happy place, is not just for Bible teachers, authors or lifelong students of God’s Word. Wherever you may be in your spiritual pilgrimage, it is available for you.”

The “CSB Notetaking Bible, Revive Our Hearts Edition” can be purchased at Lifeway.com.
