Holy Bible Mosaic
Next Friday, October 23, 2009, the Holy Bible Mosaic Blog Tour stops here at Beauty of the Bible. There are a lot of cool things planned for the tour stop including a giveaway for a free Mosaic.
I am running a 10-day contest for your chance to win a Gift Certificate redeemable at any bookstore for a free Holy Bible Mosaic (hard cover edition). I have one myself, and let me tell you, it is gorgeous.
All you have to do to enter is leave me your name in the comments below and check back on Friday to see if you win.
If you post a link to this contest on facebook, you will get one additional entry – if we are not yet friends, you will need to befriend me so that I can confirm the facebook link.
If you have a blog, you can write a post about this, link back to this page, and I will give you another entry for a possible total of three (3) entries.
Bloggers, if you already have a review copy, don’t worry, I will let you designate the person you want to receive it if you win. For example, if you want your grandmother who has no idea how to turn on a computer to win, you can enter for her.
Entries will be accepted until 12:00 noon (CST) on Friday October 23, 2009, and I will have my daughter Libby draw the winning name. The winner will be posted at 5:00pm (CST) on Friday, October 23, 2009. The winner will then contact me via the Contact page above with their mailing address (U.S. mailing addresses only please), and I will mail them their prize.
Here are a few key features (from the Mosaic website):
- Writings from every continent and century of the Christian Church – Contemporary and historical writings from Christians across the globe such as St. Augustine, Charles Wesley, and Henri Nouwen.
- Full-Color Art – Full color art offers another kind of reflective devotional experience, with artwork from contemporary and historical artists.
- Center column reference text with word study system – The clear New Living Translation text in this Bible is set in a center-column reference format, with Greek and Hebrew word studies to give you greater insight in study. There are also icons in the margins of the text to indicate which Scripture passages are linked to which writings.
- Variety of Reflective Content – The content is arranged so that every week the reader has a variety of content for reading and reflection. Each week follows a theme appropriate to the Church season (such as Advent, Easter, etc). The content included for each week includes full-color art; Scripture readings; a historical reading; a contemporary reading; a prayer, creed, hymn or quote; and space for reflection.
- Space for your response to God’s promptings – Add your tile to the mosaic—write or draw your response, prayers and questions in the provided space.

#10 by Ron Smith on October 14, 2009 - 12:18 pm
I love Bibles. I love words. Enter me, please.
Mosaic. Hmm….
Would that be
“the art consisting of a design made of small pieces of colored stone or glass”
or
“of or relating to Moses or the laws and writings attributed to him; ‘Mosaic Law.’” (source: wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
Or BOTH?
#11 by Keith Williams on October 22, 2009 - 2:15 pm
The first definition is definitely the intent. Though this Bible certainly includes the Mosaic law.
#12 by Sheila Santiago on October 14, 2009 - 12:23 pm

#22 by Gayle Ward on October 14, 2009 - 3:05 pm
May you be blessed for your giving heart. This is so neat. Looks like a great Bible.
#23 by Chuck on October 14, 2009 - 5:26 pm
I have the soft cover Mosaic bible so I don’t need to win one. I wish the print were larger. Though I’m liturgical and “into” the Church Year, I find I use the Mosaic as a daily reading bible. Much to the editor’s chagrin, in the few weeks I’ve had it, I just haven’t been motivated to check out the front portions.
But I love it as a daily reading bible. Would that the text was bigger. I’d have purchased a larger version.
Still, an excellent layout, excellent and artistic soft cover and a nice look to the page and feel to the paper.
#24 by Keith Williams on October 22, 2009 - 2:20 pm
Chagrin, indeed. Maybe you’ll start using the Mosaic content once Advent rolls around (only 6 Sundays away).
The Bible portion is available as a standalone product. It has the same physical trim size, but the typeface is bigger because the margins are smaller without the icons referring to the Mosaic content. Search Amazon for “NLT Center Column reference.”
#25 by Mark Stevens on October 14, 2009 - 5:39 pm
G’day Pete. Can an Australian enter? I don’t have a blog anymore but I would love a copy of the bible! I will mention it on Facebook.
Cheers

#63 by Daniel Epperson on October 21, 2009 - 12:36 pm
Also – forgot to mention this – thanks to this contest, I discovered beautyofthebible.com, and this will definitely not be the last time I visit! Additionally, as a self-serving disclaimer, I rarely use exclamation points, and, for whatever reason, I’ve now used two. Please don’t judge me.
#64 by Peter on October 21, 2009 - 1:56 pm
Thanks, Daniel. You are excused and entered.
#65 by Helen on October 21, 2009 - 9:33 pm
Hi Peter! The odds of winning are getting slim with several people submitting their name for a chance to win a certificate for a free Mosaic Bible. So if I do not win, I guess I will look into purchasing one for our household.
#66 by ronald s on October 22, 2009 - 1:55 am
I love that the devotional readings will be pointing us to Jesus :0)
#67 by Peter on October 22, 2009 - 9:07 am
Helen, the odds are getting slimmer, but they’re still not bad, about 1/50. Ronald, thanks.
