NIV Thinline Bible, Renaissance Fine Leather, Ebony (Leather Bound) This Bible is AMAZING! Even after reading all the other reviews, I could not believe how buttery soft and touchable the leather is…I love to touch it. The type is quite readable, and the size is perfect as I’ll be tucking into a diaper bag. I’ve loved the NIV daily reading Bible, but needed something that was easier to navigate in church or Bible studies, without all the extras of a study Bible. I have to say that I’m particular – I’d ordered 2 or 3 Bibles in the last months and sent them back…either too small, too large, too difficult to read. I found this absolutely perfect for my needs and smile every time I pick it up. The cover is very flexible – you can easily lay it open on your lap and it will stay open. This is the best quality Bible I’ve ever owned.
The MacArthur Study Bible: Signature Series Edition (Leather Bound) The MacArthur Study Bible was the Bible I read when I initially made the decision to come to faith in Christ. Now, I continue to use it, along with other Bibles, as I strive to grow in the Spirit of Christ. This study Bible is still my all-time favorite because the notes show a vast knowledge of the cultural, historical, and linguistic background of the Scriptures, which I think are necessare to come to a true understanding of the text. John MacArthur never backs away from his opinion regarding Scripture: this is no ecumenical book! So, if you want a study Bible which strives to please all interpretations and beliefs, go elsewhere! If, however, you want a Study Bible which is based upon some of the best scholarship around and which never shies away from the Truth….look no farther! I recently purchased this Bible in the Signature Series calfskin edition…and what a Bible! Beautiful inside and out.
NIV Single Column Text Edition Black calfskin leather NIV177 (Leather Bound) I got this excellent Bible after trying out several translations in cheap hard back prints to see which translation I enjoyed reading best before outlaying significant cash on a leather-bound copy. I settled on the NIV because it is a good translation and I am learning Koine Greek so if I want a really literal translation I am able to go to the Greek and obtain a really ‘wooden’ translation. Lord willing my translation skills will improve. Anyway, this edition is wonderful. As others have mentioned the single column text is wonderful for reading as is the print. The print is just large enough to be very comfortable but a tad larger would have been better; I’m sure that is almost always the case.The paper, binding quality, etc are all top notch. The leather though is not quite what I expected. It does say ‘calfskin leather’ but it isn’t supple at all. The calfskin NASB is very supple and almost moohs at you it is so soft but this leather is very stiff. I’ve already been using it daily for a few weeks and it seems to be developing a better feel in the hand but I don’t think it’ll ever be as soft as the NASB calfskin Bible is out of the box. You won’t be disapointed with this Bible as the total package is nice and feels like it will last a very long time with significant use. You may want to save yourself a few bucks and go with the bonded leather edition as I believe it is the same paper, binding, print format, just with bonded leather which would most likely hold up just as well and given the fact that the leather on the calfskin edition is not soft at all but feels like bonded; you’ll most likely not be able to tell the difference. With that said, I haven’t seen the bonded edition so my comments regarding it are purely speculative. Hope this helps.

HCSB UltraThin Bible , Black Calfskin Genuine Leather (Leather Bound) I have a lot of Bible s, as you have seen my reviews. I am a pastor and worship leader and I have every translation out there. My all time favorite is the HCSB. The y have made some minor updates but enough that I wanted to get one that would last me a long time.I was looking at the new updated Thin-lines when I saw this listed. I read the reviews and I knew I loved the quality of the Ministers HCSB from BH Publishers. I knew they had used a very fine leather on that one so I was hoping this would be just as nice. What I got in the mail was better then expected. This leather is very nice! Very soft and supple. And the inside leather is smooth as butter as one guy said. It is very well made and will last you YEARS! The font is very easy to read and it not large print and my eyes had no problems reading it. As it was stated before, there is no concordance but when I am preaching, that is not a concern to me. The only thing I had wished they had done, is that most high in Bible s are black letter which is what I prefer. Too many times the red is faint and makes it hard to read. The y however used more of a brick red color and that is easier to read.This Bible has just become my main translation and preaching Bible . I love the HCSB Translation. It is more iteral then the NIV and does not have the outdated wording like the KJV or the NKJV . The re are people that love the ESV and I use that as well, but, I really do prefer the HCSB over all. And at the price, it is well worth it.

The MacArthur Study Bible : Signature Series Edition (Leather Bound) I bought this Signature Series MacArthur Study Bible because it was only $99 at the Bible bookstore I was browsing at (regular price 199.99!!!). I saw on the shelf right next to this Signature Series Bible the cheaply constructed regular edition Macarthur Study Bible in ‘Genuine Leather’ on sale for $89!! So I went for the Signature Series version and paid 10 bucks more. While this Signature Series edition of the Macarthur Study Bible is not worth the full $199.99 price tag, I still believe it will certainly last longer than the non Signature Series edition.The good thing here is that the pages are sewn in and bound in signatures and not glued in single sheets like the regular editions that fall out after a year of use. The black calfskin cover is nice and supple and will with stand years of handling if taken proper care of. Surprisingly, the paper quality is not what you would expect in a Bible of this price. I was expecting Oxford Bible India Paper durability but it seems Thomas Nelson did it to us again and lowered the standard for the sake of profit. However, in all fairness the paper quality is still better than that you would find in the cheaper versions available. I do not recommend writing notes in the margins, as it will probably bleed through.It seems insane that nowadays you have to pay 200 bucks just to get a halfway decent Study Bible that will last longer than a year or two. At one time the quality you find in the Nelson Signature Series was the common industry standard for all Bible publishers. They felt they had a moral obligation to the public to produce quality long lasting Bible s. It is a shame that we have now allowed the worst aspects of American Capitalism to affect the quality of the Bible s available to the populace. I wonder how the CEOs of Thomas Nelson, Zondervan, World, etc. sleep at night knowing how much they cheat their consumers every day?I gave this Bible 4 Stars minus one for paper quality. All in all still a nice bible….but not for $199.99.
NKJV Pocket Companion Bible : Signature Series Edition (Leather Bound) I just received this in the mail and am extremely pleased with the Bible . The actual dimensions of the Bible are 6.5 X 4.43 X 0.87. The leather is soft and supple with no need to ‘break it in.’ The typeset is very readable and is much better than that of my other pocket-size Bible . Besides all that, the NKJV is a great and accurate translation. I was ready to send it back if it didn’t meet my standards, but this Bible was worth every penny and one I plan on having for some time.
KJV Concord Wide Margin Reference Edition with Glossary and Concordance Black calfskin KWM267 (Leather Bound) Excellent, beautiful, quality bible and workmanship. A treasure. Sturdy and well made, type is easy to read. The paper is sturdy and you can write notes in the wide margins without worrying about the ink passing through or indentations being made in the pages. The binding is also sturdy. This bible has a wonderful leather smell. With care it will last many years. Amazon has it at an excellent price.I have to agree with the previous poster who said the Letter from the Translators to the Readers is good to have. It is definitely a solid refutation to the KJV only crowd. I myself prefer the KJV and NKJV because they are taken from the accurate manuscripts. However, I am saddened by KJV only defenders who either deny or just don’t know the history of their own English Bible. While the KJV is the only pure preserved English bible today (Hebrew and Greek meanings and pure manuscripts), we would probably not have it were it not for the Geneva and Tyndale bibles that preceded it, as well as several other English bibles. Men literally gave (lost) their lives for daring to translate God’s word into the English common man’s language, as Tyndale put it: so that the plowman would have his own bible in his very own language. The Geneva was the preferred bible for 100 years before the KJV was commissioned by King James to be chained to Anglican pulpits and become the only version used. The Geneva was one of over four bibles used by the 50 KJV translators (Textually the KJV is 95% Geneva bible text). The KJV-only stance that began under the King caused a stir among the Puritans who loved their protestant Geneva bible (they knew the KJV was not considered a protestant bible), and this prompted them to sail to America in search of religious freedom. They brought with them their Geneva bibles and that was the first main bible used in early America, until early Congress declared the KJV to be widely utilized in government and by our founding fathers. The KJV at the time it was translated and published was another update of the previous English bibles as English had changed and adapted between the time of the Anglo-Saxons to Wycliff to Tyndale to King James. Updating English words as English changes, such as in the New King James, is not a sin as long as meaning has not been changed or taken from. Most don’t know that the original KJV 1611 had 80 books in it (the 14 extra were the Apocrypha) until 1881 when the 14 extra books of the Apocrypha were removed. KJV-only often say that the bible they hold in their hands today is the 1611 Authorzed version, but what they don’t know is that the KJV underwent at least 7 revisions between 1611 and 1881. And they don’t realize that if they did really have a 1611 AV their bibles would have the original English spellings of 1611, such as ‘f’ used in place of ‘s’ in certain words, ‘l’ instead of ‘j’ in certain words, as well as totally different spellings of certain words that changed between Tyndale’s time and the 1800s. The original 1611 AV spelled Jesus as ‘Iefus.’ Pretty hard to read that way, eh? That’s why the KJV was updated spelling-wise over the next 2 centuries after 1611, because such spelling of words changed and began to resemble closer to how we spell today. The NKJV is the same KJV bible with certain archaic words replaced with words of the same meaning that we use today. Such as the word ‘commodius’ in the KJV in Acts has been updated to ‘suitable’ in the NKJV. If one looks up the word commodius in most dictionaries and reads the archaic usage of the word they will find that the definition given is the same meaning that the NKJV has updated the text with. God transcends language with his holy word and God did not speak King James English any more than He spoke Chinese, but His spirit is able to adapt His word and meaning into many languages as long as the translators are being faithful to the true, exact meaning. To change His meaning is to add to or take away from His word. The updated NKJV has not changed meaning, but instead has updated certain English words just as the KJV translators updated certain out of date words and spellings from the previous English bibles. So, when a KJV-only person yells at you for reading your NKJV direct him to some English bible history and welcome him to make himself more well-rounded on information.For those who love the poetic beauty of the KJV and want it in a bible that will last and that has great quality, this Cambridge bible will not disappoint you. Plenty of room to write notes on the outter and bottom margins.It helps to learn the history behind something you believe in.
