AY Honors/Bible Marking/Answer Key

2. List five guidelines you would consider before starting to mark your Bible.

1. Choose a method that suits your needs.It generally better to use only one method of marking in a Bible. If you wish to try another method, use a different Bible.
2. Choose a marker that will not bleed through the page. If in doubt, make a small test mark before you begin, and make sure it does not show through on the other side of the page.
3. Do not overmark your Bible. Too many marks make it almost unreadable, so keep it simple.
4. Do not use too many colors, but when using multiple colors, make sure they are distinct.
5. Plan before you start, and have a definite aim in marking the Bible.
6. Don't mark an heirloom Bible. For instance, Gramma Tillie's Bible with her ancestry recorded within is not an appropriate choice for marking. Get a new Bible if you need to.
7. If there are not enough blank sheets at the end of your Bible, you can carefully add more by gluing them in. Cut the paper to size, and use a little glue along its edge. Then slide the glued edge as far back into the spine as you can get it.
