Best pocket-sized NIV I've looked at,
By Mike Tuna (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NIV Compact Reference Bible (Leather Bound)
Okay, I was a little disappointed with the limited info in the item description before I bought this, so I'll help you out. This ended up being exactly what I was looking for in a pocket-sized Bible -- the leather cover has a very nice, soft feel to it and gives the Bible a very stylish and simple look. It has red lettering for Christ's words, includes a center column on each page which references various verses to one another, a black ribbon bookmark, a "Dictionary/Concordance" in the back, and also a theme-based "Bible verses for daily life" section in the back. There are also occasional maps & info pages throughout the bible and an intro to each book with general info like author, date of writing, theme, etc. There is a small margin around the text on each page to write notes, etc., but not much. The extras are not as robust as your typical Study Bible, but much better than most of the other Bibles I've looked at, especially in this size. Overall, I'm very very pleased with it.

Great pocket Bible!,
By A Customer
This review is from: NIV Compact Reference Bible (Leather Bound)
This Bible is probably the most thorough compact Bible you're going to find. I found that the maps, concordance, and the historical/literary introduction with a summary at the beginning of each book to be the most helpful. (I don't know why they don't stress the latter on the front of the cover box.) It's also the smallest (width- and lengthwise) I encountered with both the NT and OT (I went to several bookstores). Yes, the print is small, but it's the biggest print you'll find among compact Bibles-- I haven't had trouble reading it, and I think it manages to keep a reasonably-sized print by having more pages (it's a little thicker than most-- about an inch thick.) It's also durable. One word of advice: more than likely you're getting a compact Bible because you want to cram it (for lack of a better term) in your purse, backpack, pocket, or whatever and carry it around. I have the leatherbound kind with no flap, and although it's still in one piece after 2 years, all the pages keep getting crinkled and squashed. I love this little thing, but if I were to buy another, I'd get the one with the flap. (IBN 0-310-90810-8.) As for the edition itself, it's great!

Kind of a pocket reference Bible,
By
This review is from: NIV Compact Reference Bible (Paperback)
This is actually a pocket-sized Bible (both the Old and New Testaments), and it has a small concordance/dictionary at the back, words of Jesus in red letters, and in the center of each page are references to other verses. For instance, it might tell you the chapter and verse of a similar miracle of Jesus, or perhaps the same event in another of the synoptic Gospels.Not bad, I say. I wonder why it isn't more popular? Oh, and a word of warning. The type is pretty darn small. Even if you have perfect eye-sight it's not exactly 100% easy to read. You kind of have to strain just a tad bit. The paper is a bit think for my tastes, but gosh, it can't really be helped. Feel free to e-mail me any questions. I still happily recommend this.
