5.0 out of 5 stars About this version of the Bible - not theological debate, June 11, 2001

This review is from: NIV Holy Bible Giant Print Reference Edition, Thumb Indexed, Burgundy Bonded Leather (Leather Bound)

I will leave discussions about the "tool of death" to the hardware department and discuss the merits of this Bible. My wife and I knew that her mother wanted a Bible that included the NIV translation, Thompson Chain Reference, and was large enough for her to read without squinting. I was pleased to find exactly such a Bible here. My father-in-law examined her copy and let us know that he wanted one for Fathers Day. My only wish is that a choice of colored leather binding was available. I have a normal size print edition of this Bible and have found it helpful in preparing Bible studies and sermons. While not as in depth as the Oxford NRSV or Zodhiates Word Study Bible the NIV Thompson Chain Reference system is handy for finding related concepts and taking a quick survey of a topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible for those needing larger print!, January 16, 2007

This review is from: NIV Holy Bible Giant Print Reference Edition, Thumb Indexed, Burgundy Bonded Leather (Leather Bound)

I received this Bible a month ago, I live in the UK and as usual the service from the US was first class! If you have a problem seeing regular sized print then this is the Bible for you. The print is really large and dark, and even the red words of Christ are not too glary. The bonded leather edition - which I own - is a good quality binding, useful thumb index, useful helps in the back, as well as excellent quality maps. For those wanting to dig deeply, it also has cross references listed at the end of the verse. The Bible is built to last and I am delighted with it. If you are on a budget and cannot afford the bonded leather, then I can also recommend the imitation leather, which I bought for my huband. The only difference is that the edges are stained a gold colour, not gold leaf, and the binding is a slightly thinner imitation leather, - however if you keep yours in a soft case you will hardly notice the difference. It would be really great if Zondervan could do this in a nice calf skin as it really is a great edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars People with great eye sight still need a copy like this, March 13, 2008

I have great eye sight, I don't even wear glasses, and I still love this copy of the bible. Once I was reading during a Good Friday service, and as the service went on, they lowered the lights, by the time I was to read I couldn't see the print from the bible I had brought. The next day I bought a copy of this bible (bonded leather edition) and I use it more then all my others. It's great for not losing your place if you're reading in public or studying. It's easier to find your place again if you look up or away for a moment. And, it just looks and feels like you're holding a bible. I recommend this extra-large print bible for anyone who reads in public.
