5.0 out of 5 stars This Bible is a Blessing for a Grandmother's Heart - Love Unlimited!, October 23, 2010

This review is from: The Grandmother's Bible, Large Print (Leather Bound)

Looking for a Bible with large print was my goal. I found this Bible and found the print to be easy for me, and perfect for my "old lady" eyes. I loved the quality of the paper, and it was strong enough to hold up to my Book Tabs. The leather cover is so soft, yet sturdy. When you hold this Bible it lays in your hands perfectly. If you lay it on your lap, it stays put and the pages will not fan-out on you. The colors are rich and there is a beautiful elegance to the look of this Bible. The devotional and commentaries throughout this Bible have been inspiring and heart warming. The little comments throughout the Bible, offering conversation subjects for us to talk with our precious grandchildren, with titles like, "Honesty" or "Jealousy" and so many, many more, with the verses listed for a quick trip to God's word to help you be a grandmother who cares about God being in the lives of your grandchilden is wonderful. I bought this Bible for myself 3-years ago. Then, I went back and bought two more and gave them to my beloved friends of over forty years. They loved this wonderful Bible, and it has become their special place for loving notes and even photographs of their grandchildren. And, what a blessing it is for us to have such a lovely Bible, that shepherds us to having not only the Word of God, but a wonderful aid to bringing the Word to our grandchildren. I HIGHLY recommend this book. You will not be disappointed, but will feel joy each time you look at it, and unconditional unlimited love of God and for your grandchildren. What could possibly be better? As a gift or as a purchase you make for yourself, this Bible is such a great blessing!

This is the most beautiful gift I have ever received. Not only is it the second new bible I have ever owned, it was from my two grandchildren. The design of the lavender leather binding and the inscription "Grandmother's Bible makes it truly a treasure. It is also in a larger print for us "Grandmas to read a little easier. I love it.
