This review is from: NAS New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs (Black, Bonded Leather) (Leather Bound)

The NASB is the most accurate, word for word translation of the bible in English. This makes it ideal for those who are familiar with the scriptures and do not need (or want) anything that is a paraphrase or an interpretation of the translator. If the NASB says something, you can be 100% certain that the words used are the most accurate translation of the original language that are possible and still make sense in English. This translation was done with painstaking care. There is no need to learn Greek or Hebrew with the NASB available. Unfortunately, this also means that the NASB doesn't always read like natural, everyday American English. The editors chose accuracy over elegance and smoothness. For students, accuracy is more important. For devotions and newbies, style might be more important.
This is a beautiful edition. The binding is solid and tight. This feels very sturdy and will last a lifetime. The font is very clear and readable. Double columns make this look like a traditional New Testament. There are 26 pages of helps in the back. A silk ribbon completes the package. This will fit easily into a purse or a man's pants' pocket. A good value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent pocket Bible, not great quality, January 29, 2008

This review is from: NAS New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs (Black, Bonded Leather) (Leather Bound)

I'm a fan of the NASB translation, and I never like to leave home without my sword, so I was excited to find out that Foundation put out a NT with Psalms and Proverbs. My devotions always include readings from Psalms and Proverbs, so it's nice to have them included in a pocket sized Bible. The Bible is beautiful, the text isn't too small despite the fact that it fits neatly in a pocket. The ribbon is nice. My only complaint is about the gilded page edges. The gilding was done very cheaply. I've only had this Bible for about a month and a lot of the gold is flaking off already. Everytime I read this Bible, my hands look like they're covered with glitter.

This little NT with Psalms and Proverbs goes with me in my purse every day. When I'm waiting or have a moment, I open it and take time to review or learn something new. I've ordered several more to give to friends as gifts. I love it.
