I first got one of these when I was in Iraq in 2005 and the one I recently purchased is a replacement. The original got lost.

There are times when it is nice to have a copy of the Bible around and this version of it is specially-designed for the Soldier. This is a good item to get a Soldier deploying overseas as it isn't always the first thing they think of when heading out.

I plan to keep this one for many years to come.

My husband and I purchased this bible to prepare him for being deployed. It is very compact, yet has a number of great devotionals. We are really happy with this bible.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who had been in the army. I have the Sailor's Bible and the Marine's Bible; the Sailor's for myself as a former sailor (USN: 1961-1965, RD3, USS Point Defiance(LSD-31)). I keep a Marine's Bible on hand to be able to show to other people as I encourage our American citizens to buy these and give them to our men and women in the armed services. I like the concept of these bibles as they have a place up front for the owner to record important events and they have special prayers from the services and outstanding military men such as Lt. General and actor James Stewart. They are tough, with a strong vinyl hide and a closure clasp, compact and useful. I have given several as gifts and the Marines in Iraq tell me how special they are to them. The same for the soldier's. I like the entire series and as a gift, they are a special way to say a heartfelt and well received thank you to any and all of our service people. This one is army green with the US Army seal on the cover. The whole series is very good and each one that I have bought has a special place in my heart. The version is standard King James so it is familiar to me and will probably be familiar to most soldiers who purchase it or get it as a gift.

My oldest son is in the Army. I bought him this Bible to take with him to his unit. He loves it, it is compact, and has a lot of extra inspirations and devotions in it. For anyone looking for a good gift for a Soldier, this has to rank on top.

I ordered this bible as a gift to Soldiers for our Thanksgiving Prayer Breakfast. I know that the Soldiers will enjoy this free gift! To be able to attend a breakfast and walk away with the Word and "The Good Book" is an awesome gift in itself. I have The Soldier's Bible New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs and I love it. Thanks for thinking of the Men and Women in uniform.

Blessings!

I was a little disappointed when I got them. I was looking for the King James version of the Bible and one of the reviews said this was the King James version, so when they arrived, like I said I was a little disappointed. There are some really great things about this version. I love the size, 7" x 5". I love the Soldier's Additional Material: The Pledge of Allegiance, The Star Spangled Banner (although it only has the first and fourth verses), Washington's Prayer, the Where to Turn section, George W. Bush Inaugural Address, President Bush Prayer Breakfast, George S. Patton's Prayer, and more, but those are my favorites. I am not in the military, but thought it would be nice to get a smaller version for 72 hour kits in case of an emergency. I would sure love to have a Bible with me if I had to leave my home. I bought one for everyone in my family.

Inside it has all the creeds and prayers, along with easy to read Bible stories.

This is the second Soldiers' Bible I have purchased (the first was the New Testament only) and this is ideal for me as a Soldier in Iraq. The design of the Bible allows it to easily fit into a cargo pocket, the side closure helps to protect the pages, and if you slip it into a plastic bag its almost indestructible.

In addition to the complete Bible (Holman Bible, which I feel is easier to understand than other translations) this Bible includes a topical index, the Code of Conduct, and testimonials from historically significant military leaders.

This bible is a great utilitarian reference for those in uniform.

My husband looked for this book before he went to Iraq and couldn't find one. So I of course went to Amazon and here it was!

He loved it,and it's with him now...

I am a retired soldier, and wish something like this would have been available when I was on active duty. This is a modern up-to-date translation, which is very readable. It is small enough to be easy to carry along anywhere. My only critique is that the printing is of inconsistent darkness. The print is small, which is understood with a pocket-sized version of any Bible. Some pages are nice and dark and others are a little gray or washed out. It can make it a little hard to read. Great pick for a gift for a soldier or a retired one.
