Did you know that only 39% of Americans read and interact with their Bible three or more times per year? According to a research study in 2023 by Lifeway, lack of time and not knowing where to start were the top two reasons why men and women don’t often pick up their Bibles. This is such a big problem!
With all the modern devises and advances that’ve been produced in the last 100+ years, we should have MORE time to look into God’s Word and not less. And all the good Bible studies and resources that’ve been written! The Bible alone is good for “…teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). But because God, through his good grace, has equipped people to write studies and commentaries to understand the Bible even better, we are without excuse.
So.
If you’re not quite sure where to start or don’t have a whole lot of time to shop around, consider purchasing a curated box filled with resources and tools to either jump start your Bible reading or help you to form better habits to enhance your spiritual life. I came across this company through Instagram, and the owner is SUPER sweet.
Grace and Bloom is a subscription box company with gospel-centered products and provides women with the tools they need to grow in their relationship with the Lord.
They carry beautiful Bibles and accessories in their online store, as well as curated boxes for one-time purchases that contain everything one needs to cultivate one’s spiritual life.
The Grace Box (example pictured above) is a one-time box containing a Bible, notebook, and several tools for studying the Bible.
If you subscribe to the Bloom Box (example pictured below), each quarterly package comes with a Bible study, a book, a gift to pass along to a friend, and 2-4 intentional items to help you get into the habit of reading your Bible on the daily. I really like this concept because around the time I’m finished with a Bible study, it’ll be time for the next box to arrive! Grace and Bloom has begun giving subscribers an option between 2 studies and 2 books to choose from. I personally don’t care for having options because I’m always torn between really great studies!
A Bloom Box would be an excellent choice for someone wanting more consistency in studying God’s word who would devote time to regularly reading the Bible.
Both types of boxes make the PERFECT gift for:
- New believers
- Sunday school teachers
- Mother’s Day
- Birthdays
- A woman walking in a difficult season
- New moms
- etc.
I’m very particular about the Bible studies I pick out, and I am so happy that Grace and Bloom aligns with the theology and standard I hold to.
