Hosea. Made for study.
A unique study experience. Charles Thomson’s 1808 translation of Hosea, set on pages made for circling, underlining and writing, so every time you open it, you see more in God’s Word.
Room to write, right where you need it. Generous 1.95-inch margins on both sides and open space below the text give you just the right amount of room to circle words, underline phrases and write your notes beside the passage itself.
The Covenants, connected. Footnotes show where the New Covenant (the New Testament) quotes or echoes each passage, and quote it for you, with links to earlier and later passages of the Old Covenant. A deeper understanding is always a glance away.
Beautifully easy to read. Large 13-point type with breathable space between lines and words makes reading a pleasure, page after page. Every page holds 15 lines, for a calm, even rhythm.
Know where you are at a glance. The chapter and verses of each page are printed at its bottom left, so you always know where you are in the book.
Words of God and Jesus in blue. See at a glance who is speaking.
Questions that deepen your study. A page of exegetical observation questions guides you to see what the text says before deciding what it means, so you go deeper into God’s Word with every reading.
Background for every book. A one-page historical and cultural context shows who wrote it, when, and the world it was written in.

The philosophy of design: Original Letter Format.
Read and study God’s Word in a format as close to the original as possible. Chapter and verse numbers were added to the Bible centuries after it was written, so this new layout, Original Letter Format, leaves them out of the text and lets each book read as it was first written. Every page is distraction-free, so you can focus on what matters most: the text.
A translation of firsts.
Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, published his Bible in 1808: the first English Bible translated by an American, and the first English translation of the Septuagint, the Greek Old Covenant the apostles often quoted. A free, printable PDF of 8.5 x 11 inch pages in full color.
Study like the Bereans, “daily examining the scriptures whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
