Verse Mapping, Paris, and Travel with Kristy Cambron
What are a few of your favorite things? If I have any spare time I love spending it in a few ways:
—Reading my Bible and digging in, discovering its amazing truths.
—Reading historical fiction. My favorite historical setting is in Europe during WWII.
—Artsy stuff. I love watercolor painting.
—Travel. Since I can’t really travel overseas right now, I’ve really been enjoying www.virtualtrips.io
(I’m even giving a tour here!)
So …. you can imagine how excited it was that Kristi and I had a wonderful chat about all of these things!
One of Kristy’s new projects is the Verse Mapping Bible. There are seven editions, all with the unique 5-step verse mapping study process to choose the right fit for you—editions for adults and for girls ages 8-12!
Each one includes 350 partially completed maps in multiple Bible translations (with Hebrew & Greek word studies)—the same across all editions, so families and small groups can study together.
Also included:
-70 blank maps, to begin a verse mapping journey of your own
-66 book introductions, topical index, a Verse Mapping 101 guide and study prompts, and more!

Kristy and I also talked about her soon-to-be-released novel: The Paris Dressmaker. And … avid fans can sign up for a trip to Paris with Kristy! We share so much good stuff during our chat I know you’ll be inspired!

About the Verse Mapping Bibles:
Go beyond just reading the Bible.
Verse mapping means getting real about studying the Bible. More than simply reading a verse or Scripture passage, verse mapping means using Bible study tools to research what you’ve just read in the Bible—to learn more about what God is saying to you and how you can apply his Word to your life today.
In the NIV Verse Mapping Bible, author Kristy Cambron expands her verse mapping curriculum series to include verses from the entire Bible, showing you how to compare Bible translations, pick out meaningful words, and delve into the true meaning of each verse using starter verse maps and prompts. Verse mapping will help you study the historical context, transliteration, translation, connotation, and theological framework of a verse. This unique study technique includes exploring Hebrew and Greek word studies, finding connections in Scripture, comparing Bible translations, and learning as much as you can from your time in God’s Word.
Verse mapping involves five steps:
- Choose: Select a verse and write it out.
- Compare: Record this verse in two or three other Bible translations and underline key words that are the same or different between translations.
- Research: Look up the Hebrew or Greek meaning for the underlined words and record it.
- Consider: Ask questions of the verse. Imagine what it would be like to have experienced what’s happening. Read the verses surrounding this verse and use other study tools to dig even deeper, if you prefer.
- Apply: What is God saying to you? How does this verse relate to your life today.
