When they discovered\nthe <em>Inspire Bible <\/em>with its coloring\nand journaling pages, they knew this was the perfect Bible to be the first\njournaling Bible published in the Hungarian language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining the\nKaroli-Bible text in Hungarian with the original artistic illustrations of the <em>Inspire Bible<\/em>, Harmat Publishers were\noverwhelmed with the positive responses they received after it was published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/01\/InspireSmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3310\" width=\"358\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/01\/InspireSmall.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wpmu3.northcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com\/nlt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/01\/InspireSmall-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing the <em>Inspire\nBible<\/em> was a wonderful and unique experience for me.

Participants\nwere able to try out their own creative Bible study and journaling under the\ndirection of Hungarian artist Brigitta Budahazy. And many local news outlets\nadded to the excitement by cover the release of this unique Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe One who\ncreated the eyes can see, and the One who created the ears can hear.
