If you are like me, you’re Bible is probably covered in writing. In between lines. On every margin. Above and even on the maps. Earlier this year, I had to get my Bible rebound because I didn’t want to miss out on all the jots and comments I have recorded from over the years.
One Bible-maker took this into mind and created an interactive Bible– chock full of space for notetakers like me!
In order to win a copy of this interactive notetaker’s Bible, simply leave a comment on this blog post at www.margaretfeinberg.com. The winner will be announced this Friday!

Hey Margaret, This is a great time to get logged in and start reading your blog. I have a messy Bible and enjoy the idea of a note taker’s Bible! Today was one of those days that I was under lining and scribbling everywhere I could in Mark Chpt 5 the account of Jarius and the woman with the issue of blood! I had never seen that Jesus meets us in our need no matter how little our faith is….if we will just seek Him in that need. Did you ever notice that she had had this affliction for 12 years and Jarius’ daughter was 12 years old? WOW! I don’t know what it means, but God has something there. It was a message that made sense of my testimony and I will not deflate God’s word to fit inside it, but let it expand my heart to know Him!
In the Beloved,

I would LOVE to win this! Just started the Sacred Echo study at my church, Northeast Christian in Louisville, KY. Exciting to learn how to “listen” better.

My teeny tiny Bible is about to give way with all of the notes and flowcharts overflowing the pages
Ashleigh!
What an amazing idea….After 40 years of writing in two different Bibles…I am FULL. I had the first one rebound and then transferred EVERYTHING to my latest and now it is so full. I’ve started taping paper in to add things…The first time I transferred everything I was so blessed by reading all those years of notes…it really encouraged me. Even if I don’t win I will have to get one of these. To review all those years and make it all a bit more legible… :o) would be so good. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
Thank you!
Thanks Margaret! Sharing 1 lesson samples of your new Threads study with churches I visit on behalf of Lifeway. I a church consultant in Missouri, So. Illinois, and Kansas/Nebraska
Hey Margaret!!!! I’m so excited about this Notetaker’s Bible. I had an English Literature professor at Bellarmine University (Louisville, KY), Dr. O’Keefe, say, “An unmarked book, is an unread book.” That simple line has stuck with me forever. Every book, every magazine, even my church bulletin is covered in handwritten notes, dootles, and thoughts-for-later. Last year, I finally had to get a lined journal to take with me to Sunday School, church, and small-group studies because I am a note-taking QUEEN!!!!! In my previous career as a corporate marketing professional, I kept a notebook with me at all times. Now, as a student teacher and reading tutor, I’m still carrying around a notebook to capture thoughts and ideas to use in my own classroom one day. Teachers are some of the most innovative, creative people on the planet, and I look forward to adding to my own library of tricks.
God bless you, Margaret - I love reading your blogs and staying connected through Facebook.
Hey Margaret. I loved hearing at the AMIA conference-you were a real blessing!!!
I would love to have a new bible that I could “begin again” to read, mark and inwardly
digest!! What a wonderful idea.
This would be great to win! Thanks for posting up this giveaway! looking forward to seeing anyone get blessed with this bible.

I actually saw this in the store the other day and made a note to add it to my birthday and Christmas wish lists for this year.
I’m currently using a parallel version Bible with 4 different versions. The neat thing is that I’m able to tell you what part of my life I was in based on which version the notes applied to.
A friend was looking through my Bible and stopped in Habakkuk. She looked at me quizzically and said, “post-its?”. I just shrugged and said, “James MacDonald”.
My ladies’ small group also just started “Sacred Echo”. Notes, notations, and yes, even post-its.
Thanks for such an amazing offer!
great idea!
I tend to not take notes. I don’t want to wreck my Bible with my ugly scribbles! Maybe this is what I need!
This looks like a fantastic resource! Thanks
I have a tendency to 1. fill a Bible with scribbles and 2. have God tell me to give away the Bible just when I get it comfortably scribbled in!
I recently gave away my Bible, and have been looking for a replacement. This sounds like it would be perfect! Thanks for the great give-away Margaret.
What a great give-a-way! Love being able to have room in my Bible for notes! May God continue to bless you and your ministry!
My writing is too big for the bible I have now. This notetaker’s bible would be a great addition to my quiet/study time.
Thanks Val Morris
OOOHHH! I’ve been looking for something like this!! I scoured Zondervan’s site for “large print” bibles - haha - and only ended up feeling very elderly.
Awesome. I hope I win. 
:) 
Would love to win this resource! How fantastic to not have to write in the tiny margins and bottom and top of my pages when I read something that impacts my life or when I hear something that I want to be sure to remember. Thanks for making me aware of this tool as well!! Valerie
Ooh, ooh, pick me, Mr. Kotter, pick me!
hey! this Bible sounds great! I just came by to learn more about you — you are headed to our church this week! great time to stop by youre website!!
Loved seeing you (and Hershey)this year at the AMiA Confrence in Greensboro. I’ll definetly be stopping by your website often!
I’m not sure what criteria you are going to use to select your winner, but I’d sure love to give that Bible to my wife… And then run out an buy a Men’s version for myself! What a cool design… My Sword is pretty marked up, too…
pick me pick me!!
I started taking notes in my Bible at age 15 and that’s been ___ years ago! That was several Bibles ago — and I kept them all. I would LOVE having this notetakers Bible!
I have been watching DVD’s from the 2009 Catalyst Conference–and followed the trail to you. How grateful I am to be a follower of the Living God. Thank you for being a tool in His hands.
I love my old Bible. It’s like a bible journal as I make comments, underline, and date sermons etc. It’s a way to see my “history” and to remember and reflect. I really think that Jesus might have been a notetaker if He had the opportunity. The bind of my bible is totally broken off, and it seems to be very difficult to continue to use it, I would enjoy immensely this new bible they are offering! PS Hope to see you soon in the Chicago area at Wheaton Academy, it is the high school my 2 children attended. :)Marty
oh how cool it would be to check out and dive into this bible!! i love inductive study and it seems right up that alley. cool giveaway! in HIS grip - laurie
what a fantastic idea! I love that Bible!
I am using a new bible that I’ve not started marking because there just isn’t room. This is a fantastic idea and I would love to own it and pass my new one on to someone else. Thank you Margaret and God bless.
Love the blog!
All I can say is “Oh…the joy!” Wonderful giveaway!
Post-it note users of the world unite! My wife has told me she is so tired of picking up all my little scraps of paper that are constently falling out of my bible. Love this, note takers make the world go-round
that would be a wonderful gift.
Hope life has been good, spoke with you at the rightnow conference in 2008.
fantastic!! wonder what the best pen to use on it is???
I have wanted a new Bible for awhile but I wasn’t sure what to get. I would love a chance to win this one, I researched it on the web and it’s fantastic! We are still loving the Scouting the Divine study, we are in session 3 Tuesday night. Have a wonderful week!

I just wanna say….oh,oh…pick me….pick me!!!!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
New bible. Awesome. BTW - just finished “Sacred Echoes.” It is in the process of revolutionizing my prayer life. Peace!
My Zondervan NIV study Bible to which I love has been in storage in another state for the last 5 years. The one I have now is ok, however it lacks all my underlines and highlights and notes and stuff. Its awesome to look back at what you have underlined years ago.
I normally use a Life Application NIV study Bible and write every possible note I can in every possible nook or cranny on every page! I’d love to have a NoteTakers Bible. What a great giveaway!
Awesome…I’ll definitely check it out. I wonder how thick the pages are cause I use pen and I don’t like writing in mine cause it bleeds through.
I have just stumbled upon you Margaret through the Threads website; which also showed me that I could become a fan of yours on Facebook! I am so excited to learn more about you as I embark upon leading and encouraging other women to lead small group ministries in our church. I would also love to be entered into your drawing for the free Notetakers Bible. I was not even aware that anything such as it was available!
Thanks!!!!
Seriously? How cool is this? I would love to have a Bible with places to pen what God impresses upon my heart <3
Thanks for the opportunity!
Jade
Margaret, you are awesome! Thanks for the chance to win. Looking forward to hearing you speak at the MOPS Summit simulcast again this year! Amy
You suggested it might be time for a new bible for me…maybe this Notetaker’s Bible is the one. Melinda
For me too, learning, challenged, chastised, inspired = writing. If it really makes it into my brain or my heart, it almost always comes out of my pen. That helps me find God’s beautiful (or sometimes pointed) reminders on the days I’ve discovered that something once precious has leaked away. A note from the past is often the nudge I need to be refilled and refocused. Thanks for another thoughtful give-away Margaret!
