I gave this Bible 5 stars because contrast to others I have seen this Bible combines several features (large print, thumb index, bonded leather cover) that other manufactures do not have. I was worried about the text size not being large enough but the 11pt. text is plenty big enough for me to read without my glasses ALTHOUGH some of the smaller bullet points to reference sections will require the use of magnification. Let's face it folks, this Bible is 3000 pages and if they made the text any larger the Bible could double as a boat anchor!
There is one feature that I would like to have seen and that being the words of Christ in Red. This Bible does NOT have that and why is beyond me. I have noticed a trend though; other Bibles of this caliber will have the words of Christ in red, large print, chapters in highlighted blue but will NOT have the thumb index. I was willing to sacrifice the words of Christ in red to have the thumb index, which makes looking something up MUCH easier. Nope, if you can find a better Bible with the feature this one has out there BUY IT but until then, I really feel you will be very happy making this Study Bible an addition to your Christian library.
