Wonderful Way To Share His Word
In my experience, this could be the best Bible to share His Word with. Rather than reaching for a huge black giant print Bible that literally "thumps" into your hand, this tiny little Bible (that I find very easy to read with bifocals and 50 year old eyes) just is NOT intimidating to someone showing an initial interst in God's Word. The most likely response becomes, "Is that the entire Bible? Can it really be that small?" Suddenly, the Holy Bible seems a lot less intimidating to a potental new Christian. Their next response will likely be, "Can I see it?" ...and there is the true value and the simple wonder of this nicely made little Bible. I guarantee you'll feel wonderful when you see someone take His Word into their hands for perhaps the very first time and when they do, filled with curiosity and free of any intimidation, its a very good thing. I truly believe that there is a special power when someone is willing (and even wanting) to take a Bible into their own hands. That's also a wonderful time to give it away, so buy several of these tiny yet Powerful Bibles.
Durable Text, Durable Bible!
Whatever happened to zippered Bibles? They were so common when I was a little kid (and I had/have one). They are so practical because they protect so well. I was delighted to find the NASB Updated translation in a zipper version. It travels in my briefcase where a regular Bible would get its edges all messed up. I would've been happy with a simulated leather cover for this use, but the bonded leather is okay. Small print, but I can read it easily without my bifocals. As for the translation, either you want the most accurate or you don't. I'm no genius but I don't need a 'readable' Bible--this one reads just fine for me. I have been an owner of the 'old' NASB and rarely can I tell the difference between the two. Highly recommended for a Bible on the go!
