Revealing God’s Truth Color by Color
Review: The NKJV Color Code Study Bible by Thomas Nelson
For the one who wants to linger longer in the Word, savoring every hue of His truth.
I wasn’t prepared to fall in love, y’all. But the moment I unboxed this purple leather-soft beauty, I knew—this Bible was different. 🕊️
I’m talking silver gilding, thumb-indexed pages, and a ribbon that whispers, “take your time, beloved.” And though I do wish there were more than one ribbon, the one it comes with is double-satin and silky smooth—worthy of any Bible’s bookmark ministry.
Disclosure: I did receive this Bible from Thomas Nelson for review, but every thought, opinion, and giddy squeal is completely my own.
This isn’t just a pretty face. Inside? It’s color-coded Scripture. Not in the chaotic, every-verse-is-rainbow way—but in a thoughtfully curated, seven-theme system that gently guides your eyes and heart. Each color reveals a different thread in the tapestry of God’s story:
💜 God the Father
💙 God the Son
💛 God the Holy Spirit
❤️ Salvation
💚 Sanctification
🩶 Sin & Temptation
🧡 Last Things
Each highlighted verse pulls you deeper into study, like a lamp unto your feet—subtle, intentional, never overwhelming.
What I love most? The paper. Oh, the paper. Smooth, buttery, and a dream to write on. It made me want to pick up my favorite highlighter and just…stay. Stay in the Word. Stay in conversation with the Lord. Stay grounded.
The layout is divine—two-column, with generous margin space and book introductions that don’t feel rushed. Each intro comes with summary, study questions, and key doctrinal points to anchor your journey. And those study notes? Rich without being bulky. Insightful without feeling like homework.
I’ve already begun using it for my 52-week Bible reading, and let me tell you, this Bible is not just a study tool—it’s a companion. A quiet, wise mentor wrapped in purple and silver, reminding me that the Word is alive and active… and sometimes, a little color helps us see that truth more clearly.
