# Exciting New Year Bible Line up 2025 🎉 ## 2025 Bible Lineup Introduction - Cat [[Woodz]] shares her 2025 [[Bible]] lineup, a tradition she has been doing since the beginning of her channel, where she showcases the stack of Bibles she will be using for the year [(00:00:11)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=11s). - She has been on a journey to become a better student of the word, transitioning from being creative to learning and strengthening her skills [(00:00:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=44s). - Her goal is to continue learning and growing spiritually, and she wants to share her process with her audience [(00:01:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=93s). - She emphasizes that her recommendations are not for everyone, and encourages her audience to use what they can and change it to fit their needs [(00:02:23)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=143s). - She recommends that everyone have their own set of Bibles, rather than using the same ones she uses, as they may not resonate with them in the same way [(00:02:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=164s). - She suggests that beginners may need to be more creative in their approach, and that her 2025 setup may have been overwhelming for her if she had seen it earlier in her [[Christianity | Christian]] walk [(00:03:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=192s). - She has a playlist with over 101 videos on [[Bible]] journaling and Bible gardening, and also has videos on how to write in and mark up your Bible [(00:03:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=216s). ## Scripture Writing Process and Goals - She will be sharing her scripture writing process, which she believes is a good spot to start, and notes that you don't have to do it in your Bible [(00:04:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=272s). - A goal is set to write out the whole Bible four times, with one Bible already completed and the process to be continued in 2025 [(00:04:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=276s). - For times when writing out the whole Bible is too daunting, a separate Bible that only covers the Gospels and Acts will be used, which has a single column with lines and a spiral binding [(00:05:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=346s). - This separate [[Bible]] has a different translation and feel, but serves the same purpose of writing out God's word and meditating on it [(00:05:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=350s). - The process of writing out the Bible will be continued in 2025, with the goal of adding more to the journey [(00:07:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=449s). ## Everyday Carry (EDC) Bible - A "cuddle Bible" or EDC (everyday carry) is a must-have, which is a Bible used for everyday reading and can be marked or kept clean as desired [(00:07:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=474s). - The preferred translation for the EDC is the [[English Standard Version | ESV]], specifically the Alred Edition, which is considered a perfect balance between word-for-word and paraphrase translations [(00:08:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=509s). - The ESV translation is liked for its literal and imaginative qualities, making it a major go-to translation [(00:08:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=515s). ## Workhorse Bible and Bible Categorization - In addition to the EDC, a "Workhorse" [[Bible]] is also used, which can be kept in a daily driver or used for daily activities [(00:09:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=555s). - To effectively use a Bible collection, it's essential to categorize Bibles into specific roles, such as an everyday carry (EDC) or cuddle Bible, a daily driver, and a Workhorse Bible, which can be the same Bible for consistency [(00:09:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=565s). - The daily driver Bible should be kept clean, while the Workhorse Bible is for marking up with notes, thoughts, prayers, and highlights [(00:10:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=612s). ## Study Bibles - Having a good study Bible is also crucial, and two recommended options are the [[English Standard Version | ESV]] Study Bible and [[Life Application Study Bible | the Life Application Study Bible]] [(00:11:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=705s). - The [[ESV Study Bible]] is described as "meaty" with a lot of information, but its wordiness can be overwhelming for beginners, making it more suitable for seasoned [[Christianity | Christians]] [(00:12:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=722s). - The Life Application Study [[Bible]] is considered a must-have for everyone, regardless of their stage in their spiritual walk, as it provides valuable insights and applications [(00:13:39)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=819s). - It's essential to recognize that different people need different Bibles at various seasons in their lives, and understanding this can make one's spiritual walk easier [(00:13:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=797s). - The Life Application Study Bible is a highly recommended addition to any Bible collection, available in [[New International Version | NIV]], [[New Living Translation | NLT]], and [[King James Version | KJV]] translations, although the exact translations available are not confirmed [(00:13:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=839s). - The study notes in this Bible focus on application, providing questions, ideas, and insights to help readers understand and apply the text, particularly in the [[Old Testament]] [(00:14:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=890s). - The recommended edition is the Third Edition, as the first and second editions have poor paper quality, and although the Third Edition still has some ghosting issues, it is an improvement [(00:15:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=936s). - [[Life Application Study Bible | The Life Application Study Bible]] is a large print Bible, making it a "big boy" in terms of size, and is suitable for those who want a more literal translation for their personal study and understanding [(00:15:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=932s). - [[Bible | The Bible]] will be used for daily reading and application in 2025, alongside deep theological study notes, and will be supplemented with other study Bibles, including the [[Thompson Chain-Reference Bible | Thompson Chain]] and the [[English Standard Version | ESV]] Study Bible [(00:16:37)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=997s). ## Scofield Wide Margin Study Bible - Another Bible mentioned is the Scofield Wide Margin Study Bible, which will be used for in-depth study of individual books of the Bible, such as the Book of John, rather than as a general study Bible [(00:17:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1028s). - The Bible being discussed has a double column format, red letter text, and a wide margin, making it a preferred choice for study, with a translation of [[King James Version | KJB]] [(00:18:34)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1114s). - Although it's a study Bible, it won't be used for daily reading, instead, it will be used for in-depth study and learning [(00:19:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1157s). ## Everyday Woman's Bible - For a lighter, devotional read, the Everyday Woman's [[Bible]] will be used, which has a double column format, red letter text, and study notes at the bottom of the pages [(00:19:55)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1195s). - The Everyday Woman's Bible has been reviewed previously, and it's one of over 200 Bibles that have been reviewed, with various cover options available, including blue, hardcover, and gold [(00:20:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1202s). - The information in the Everyday Woman's Bible is laid out in a way that's easy to understand and not overwhelming, making it perfect for reading at any time of the day [(00:20:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1248s). - The goal is to prioritize reading the Bible over scrolling through social media, and to put [[God]] first in life [(00:21:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1266s). - The Everyday Woman's Bible will be used for easy reads, and it features study notes, articles, perspectives, insights, and color, making it a preferred choice [(00:21:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1285s). - [[Life Application Study Bible | The Life Application Study Bible]] is also mentioned, but it's noted that it's not in color, which is a downside [(00:21:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1311s). - The Everyday Woman's [[Bible]] will be one of the Bibles taken into the new year, along with other Bibles, including a [[Scofield Reference Bible | Scofield Bible]], a [[Gospel of John | John Bible]], and a study Bible [(00:22:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1338s). ## Downsizing and Focusing - The goal is to downsize the number of Bibles used, from 10 to 5, and to use each one regularly throughout the year [(00:22:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1376s). - The collection of Bibles and study tools will be the main focus for the year 2025, with a recommendation to have multiple tools but not use them as a replacement for the Bible [(00:23:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1382s). ## Matthew Henry Commentary - A condensed version of the [[Matthew Henry]] commentary was found at [[Half Price Books]], which is a more manageable size compared to the full version [(00:23:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1399s). - The full version of the Matthew Henry commentary is a large book with small font, making it overwhelming to read, but the condensed version is more readable and enjoyable [(00:24:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1470s). - The condensed version of the Matthew Henry commentary will be a frequently used tool in 2025, despite having less information than the full version [(00:25:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1518s). ## John MacArthur Study Book - Another tool that will be used is John MacArthur's study book on the Book of John, which is part of a larger series covering all 66 books of [[Bible | the Bible]] [(00:27:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1628s). - The [[John MacArthur (American pastor) | John MacArthur]] study book is a valuable resource for studying the Book of John, and plans are to acquire more books from the series, including Romans [(00:27:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1646s). ## Scofield Bible Study Features - The [[Scofield Reference Bible | Scofield Bible]] study features a layout with a blank page for notes, the Bible text in the [[New King James Version | New King James]] translation, and a section for unleashing the text, which includes the context, key to the text, and questions to reflect on the reading [(00:27:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1665s). - The study also includes a section with questions to explore the meaning of the text, additional verses for further understanding, and a personal response section for writing prayers, questions, or reflections [(00:28:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1706s). - The study is divided into 52 weeks, with each week focusing on a different topic, such as the relationship between [[God]] and humanity, divine guidance, and more [(00:30:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1815s). - The study features a unique reading plan that includes reading from different books of [[Bible | the Bible]], such as Genesis, Romans, and Joshua, rather than reading through the Bible from cover to cover [(00:31:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1893s). - The study is designed for women and features beautiful artwork and a table of contents that outlines the topics for each week [(00:30:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1825s). - The study can be found using the ISBN number or by searching for the publisher, and it is recommended for those looking for a new and different way to study the Bible [(00:30:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1836s). ## New Bible Lineup and Study Approach - The study includes an introduction and a table of contents that outlines the topics for each week, as well as a reading plan and questions for reflection [(00:30:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1858s). - The new [[Bible]] lineup features a unique approach, with no specific order for the books, except for the relationship between [[God]] and humanity, and includes seven books to be read over a week [(00:32:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1927s). - Each week's section starts with some information about the books, followed by a blank spot for doodling, adding prayers, or writing thoughts and reflections, and ends with three questions and a prayer [(00:32:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1953s). - The three questions are meant for the whole week, and can be answered at any time, allowing for a personalized experience [(00:33:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=1993s). - The Bible can be read in any order, and the reader can choose to start with any week or topic that catches their eye [(00:33:53)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2033s). ## Additional Resources and Planner - The blueprint, a resource mentioned earlier, will not be shared in the video but will be linked in the pin comment and [[Bible | the Bible]] review playlist in the description box [(00:34:39)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2079s). - Viewers are asked to be patient and give time for the links to be added, as the video uploader has a lot of tasks to complete after uploading the video [(00:35:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2107s). - The uploader mentions having posting notes and a happy planner, but will not go through all the details, as some viewers may already be familiar with the concept [(00:35:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2142s). - The idea is to create a workbook that can be used in conjunction with the Bible lineup [(00:36:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2175s). ## Bible Study System - A [[Bible]] study system is being used, which includes 66 book tags that are typically found in a Bible, and information from the book of Genesis has been taken from [[Life Application Study Bible | the Life Application Study Bible]] [(00:36:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2176s). - The system is designed to help with Bible studies and teaching, and it includes key people, vital information, and prayers from each book of the Bible [(00:36:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2196s). - The system was not started at the beginning of the year, but rather in April, and it was inspired by [[God]] [(00:37:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2246s). - The next book to be worked on is Joshua, but [[Book of Deuteronomy | Deuteronomy]] still needs to be finished, and extra pages have been allocated for it [(00:38:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2283s). - A spiritual blueprint is being created, which will cover the whole Bible, and it has a name, although it has been forgotten [(00:38:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2311s). ## Memorization and Highlighters - Memorization of John 14 is ongoing, using a Chic Sparrow Travelers notebook and a compact [[English Standard Version | ESV]] [[Bible]], with highlighted verses that have already been memorized [(00:39:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2343s). - A [[Sharpie (marker) | Sharpie]] highlighter was initially used, but it is fading, and a Mr. Pen Sleek Crown highlighter will be used instead to re-highlight the memorized verses [(00:39:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2384s). - A Bible is used when on-the-go or when there's time to read and update memory, but it's not the primary Bible used daily [(00:40:34)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2434s). ## Daily Driver Bible - The primary Bible used daily is referred to as the "daily driver" [(00:40:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2448s). ## Community Engagement and Conclusion - Viewers are encouraged to share their 2025 [[Bible]] lineup by tagging on [[Instagram]] or [[Facebook]] [(00:41:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2461s). - The goal is to communicate with viewers and see what Bibles they are using [(00:41:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2466s). - The message concludes with a reminder to be a creative tool in God's art box [(00:41:11)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeuQ0YIFmF0&t=2471s). ## Sources -
