5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible, August 15, 2006

By	Glenn Yates (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: NASB Thinline Bible (Imitation Leather)

This is a very, very cool Bible. The two tone leather (or Italian duo-tone as it's called) looks and feels great, the print is not too small; it is light and just forms to your hands. My last Bible was a black, generic Bible that on several different occasions at church I either accidentally picked up one like it or someone picked up mine. This black/brown stitched leather is very unique so this never happens any more. The version is NASB, the best if you're trying to hang close to the original- although not as readable to me as NIV or New English. But that's just my opinion. The price is good- I really, really like this Bible, or did I say that already?

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra description, December 31, 2007

By	N. Cirino - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: NASB Thinline Bible (Imitation Leather)

This Bible is in paragraph form (as in not a verse every line), and note also that it does not have near as many footnotes as a reference NASB will. There are many places where a reference NASB will give you the more literal translation in a footnote, but for the sake of readability are not included in the this Bible. This Bible does not have cross-references either. Words of Christ are in red and the Apocrypha are not included.
Overall, really good Bible, super translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks great to me, June 4, 2008

By	Jasmine - See all my reviews

I just purchased this Bible for my boyfriend and am tempted to buy it for myself as well. The reasons I bought this one...
1. When referring to God in He/Him, the pronouns are capitalized. It almost aches when Bibles don't do that!
2. Jesus's text is in red.
3. There's a section at the back, and I can't remember how it's titled at the moment, where you can look up verses according to "when you're depressed", "when you're feeling lazy" and things we deal with in life, such as "death" and "happiness"
4 it just looks cool :-) yes I did intentionally list this as the last reason. Neither my boyfriend or I care that it's not real leather. It has a very nice feel and sophisticated look.
With that said, we are both looking forward to reading the Bible and becoming more and more familiar with God's word.
Update--I'd also like to add a 5th reason-I really like how I've been reading in the description and other reviews that is a very accurate translation from the original Word.
