The Perfect Traveling Bible!, July 5, 2000
This review is from: NKJV Gift and Award Bible (Imitation Leather)
This bible is just small enough to take with you everywhere, and still contains the same inspirational message as regular size King James Bibles. I have found it truely helpful when daily life presents a problem, and im not at home to look at my regular bible,i always keep it with me wherever i go!

a good second or third Bible, maybe., January 9, 2004
This review is from: NKJV Gift and Award Bible (Imitation Leather)
This makes a good reference Bible if you do not have a NKJV translation, and want to compare passages for further understanding; the price makes it ideal for this purpose, as reading more than one version of a section that is hard to understand can be edifying.
My daily reading is with The Amplified Bible (which is the one used by popular author and TV preacher Joyce Meyer), and have been using the KJV for comparison. I bought this as a third translation, but the more I read it, the more I like it, and will probably upgrade this volume to one with larger print in the near future, so I am torn between recommending this as a second or third Bible, or advise buying a better quality NKJV.
This is called a "Gift and Award" Bible, but with the print being so small, it would be a mistake to give this to a young person if it is intended as their primary Bible...they will soon tire of it no matter how sharp their vision; though this translation would be ideal for that purpose, a bigger font size is definitely needed.
The words of Jesus are in red, and the back of the volume contains a "Read Your Bible Through in a Year" plan, dividing chapters in the New and Old Testaments on a daily basis; also included is a dictionary/concordance which has some line drawing illustrations, and this portion has a nice font size, and there are also two maps inside the back cover. "Leather Bound" means a single layer veneer, with cut edges.
In the final analysis, this edition is of a superb translation, but one that can be read only for a few passages at a time because of the print.
Psalm 37:4
NKJV: "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart".
KJV: "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart".
Amplified: "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart".
