5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible., January 27, 2003

This review is from: NASB Thinline Bible, Large Print (Hardcover)

I am so glad I purchased this Bible. I couldn't believe how small it is and still have the large print. It is just what it says it is...God's Word, nothing more, nothing less. There are no marginal references or notes, just the Word. After the Index there is a section called "Promises from the Bible" and another one called "Perspectives from the Bible" along with several pages of maps. I would recommend it to anyone who can no longer comfortably read the small print in most Bibles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bible Ever!!! Don't Trust The FEW Negative Reviews, September 13, 2006

This review is from: NASB Thinline Bible, Large Print (Hardcover)

This Bible is top notch, and is definitely LARGE PRINT, the reviewer who said otherwise must have large print confused with giant print, anyhoo this Bible's type is very easy on the eyes being a large print Bible, it is also made very well, yes, it is consructed out of Bonded Leather, which by the way this is the best leather this particular Bible comes in, you can get it in black or burgundy, i have had no problems with the Bible's binding coming loose, however i would'nt leave this or any other Bible in a hot car in direct sunlight, thats a no no for obvious reasons, the print is extra dark in both the black print and the red print (Words of Christ), sometimes the red print is a little lighter than the black in some Bible's, but not in this one, it's rich an dark, and easily stands out, i Highly Recommend this Bible and give it my Highest Awards, if there were 6 stars available this Bible would get them, oh, and for size, this Bible is not a small pocket or personal size, it is thin but is a little larger than your average Bible in length and width, giving it a great feel in the hand, and a great presence when set on the table, thanks for reading this review, i hope any mis-representations of this AWESOME Bible have been layed to rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD QUALITY LEATHER COMPACT BIBLE, January 2, 2003

By 

Carol Johnson (St Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NASB Thinline Bible, Large Print (Hardcover)

I recommend this bible for those who travel or like to have the scriptures handy wherever they go. The size is perfect for transporting from place to place. It is less than an inch thick and has no study guides, which makes it easier to use when a passage needs to be found quickly or when one just wants to read. The binding is secure and durable. Even though this New American Standard translation is updated, replacing "Thee, Thou and Thy" with "You and Your", accuracy has not been compromised. The words of Christ are in red. There are also maps and a concordance.
