Highlighting
The purpose of highlighting a Bible is to receive , personalize, and absorb the Bible as God’s written Word to you. Grace urges and teaches not to worship the Bible but rather to read and learn it in order to learn to trust God and worship God alone. To help us do that we urge you to make the Bible your own but writing in it, highlighting, and making notes.
