2.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible, Terrible Binding and Layout, January 9, 2009

I picked this up at Sam's Club about a year ago and decided that this would be the year that I read through it. I normally read through the ESV each year, but am doing paraphrases this year. I love how there are footnotes whenever the NLT translators interpret a phrase. It will tell you what the Greek or Hebrew says. I also like seeing the dimensions of the Ark in feet instead of cubits. Even with a footnote that a cubit is approximately 18 inches it is nice that the translators did the math for me.

I would like to give this a higher rating, but the binding is so terrible that I just cannot. I realize it is a gift Bible, so perhaps I should make some allowances for that. The TruTone cover feels great -- synthetic, but soft. I realize that I've perhaps been spoiled with the bindings on my ESV Study Bible, ESV Personal Reference Bible, and ESV Journaling Bible. However, it is very frustrating when the Bible refuses to stay open. It takes two hands to read this relatively small book.

The other problem with the binding is more about the way the text is formatted. Each page has two columns of a very readable font. The problem is that it is printed so close to the binding that you have to bend the book backwards to read the words printed on the edge. That means in Genesis you have to bend it way open to the left to see the words and in Revelation you have to bend it way open to the right. In my opinion, you should be able to support a Bible by the spine in one hand and read it. That is impossible with this book.

However, for the price it's hard to beat.

I picked this bible up at my local Wal-Mart. While the one review mentioned states its hard to read the writing close to the center, I've found if you "work" the binding a little, you can see it just fine. Its a great Bible for what you pay for it. Sharp looking TuTone, with the increasingly popular NLT (Second Edition) translation. This is my everyday bible. I use my Reformation Study Bible for thorough legwork but will gladly grab this in a pinch. Great translation for new believers and non-believers so as to not sound so archaic.

I was very pleased when I received this bible. Different style and bound well. I love the New Living Translation, as it is very comprehendible. This particular bible is great for everyday study and the size is perfect, not too small or too large. Red letter as well. I gave it to my mom as a gift, and I plan to purchase another one like it.
