  • Absolutely amazing neat bible!

    Absolutely amazing neat bible! I definitely recommend it! Very good size (similar to a Thomas Nelson personal size bible, so larger than a compact). It is hardcover (looks like it is cloth covered, but has a rubbery texture and feeling to it) and comes with a dust jacket. Edges are white, no fancy colors. It is full black letter (Jesus' words are also in black) and absolutely packed with nice illustrations (most of them are artworks, but some do really help and provide extra information, maps, tables, timelines etc.). Letter size is absolutely perfect for my eyes, and this bible is much easier to read for me (compared to my other Thomas Nelson Giant Print), because of the way the text is arranged and also because there are more words on a single line, not just 3-4 words as in other bibles which confuse my eyes, making my eyes move left right so many times I become dizzy. I can't tell for sure if it's sewn or glued, but its size (small to medium) won't pose a threat to the binding. It should last a long time without any problems. I definitely recommend this bible. I was really impressed when it arrived. Very high quality!

  • A love letter from god

    I have just received my copy of love and comfort. The print is fine for me (I do wear glasses). Accompanied with pictures maps and a built in study guide to read the bible in a year. There is also an outline chart of the history of the bible. Delivery was super quick and I cant wait to start reading.
