Reader Reviews:
a magnificent travel Bible (44/44 people found this helpful)
I have never seen a better compact Bible than this one. Despite the small print, it is clear and readable; I set it side by side with six others of comparable size, and this was the only one that I could comfortably read.
The NKJV translation is superb, keeping much of the exquisite beauty of the original, but adding clarity in its use of modern day language.
Psalm 138:3
NKJV:
"In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul"
KJV:
"In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul".
The words of Jesus are in red, it includes center-column references and translation notes, a 96 page concordance, and 9 maps. The pages are edged in gold, there is a ribbon marker, and the cover is bonded leather. What I especially like is the flap, that gives me just enough room to clip a pen on the inside, and goes over the cover to snap shut, protecting the pages from damage while in my purse.
The first Bible I ever purchased was published by Nelson, and after over twenty years of use is still in one piece; this edition seems to be constructed with a similar level of quality, so I have high hopes for its durability.
I'm not a "stuff and things" person, but this little Bible is something I own that I truly delight in, definitely qualifying as a Top Ten purchase.
COMPACT REFERENCE BIBLE: NEW KING JAMES VERSION (HARDCOVER) (13/14 people found this helpful)
I found this version of the Bible extremely easy to understand. My Bible also fits easily in my handbag, when I go to church. I have also found the Concordance and the maps very useful.
neat compact easy to use information packed Bible (23/24 people found this helpful)
this bible is my favourite bible i own, it's small and easy to carry to church services, it has a flap which closes on the front, a ribbon to find your place, very helpful cross-references and footnotes in the center margin, book, chapter and verse nos. at top of each bible text page, maps at the back, mini concordance, helpful Preface and "How to use this reference Bible" section, words of Christ in red. But, would like to see an extra page or two in the mini concordance, and map dimensions also in metric (maybe one day in a later edition!) And, being all in modern english, makes the Bible easy to understand and read.-
