This Bible makes it so easy to read the Bible and find helpful verses that apply to you.  The charts in the back are so helpful.  I got a hardcover type of this Bible that I wore it out!  Buy this Bible and you won't be  sorry.  Then I bought two leather bibles.  Ya know what?  The Bibles come  with a LIFETIME GUARENTEE!  The softcover and hardcover have a two year  guarentee. This is the Bible I live from.  I would buy this for anyone I  care about including myself.

This is an amazing Bible. The notes are fantastic and go well with my Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary. This Bible helped me through my last year of college in my Biblical Studies. It showed me things that I truly didn't know, since I really didn't go to church (still looking for the right one). So far, it has fit in with my studies of history, especially concerning the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East. This Bible also contains a back section full of many insights into other things, like Islam. This is a well rounded Bible, which I much prefer to my Reformation Study Bible, Oxford Study Bible, NKJ Study Bible, and others. This is my favorite and also the heaviest.

This bible is seriously well made. The leather binding and metal clasps are super rugged, so I can use it as my daily commuting bible. I don't have to use my iPad anymore, and worry about dropping it on a crowded bus or train. And the best part is, if I accidentally leave it somewhere, it's so inexpensive, I can just buy another.

I just picked this Bible up for Holy Week!  So far I am really loving it!  Mine is in a green box though and has slightly larger print I think!  Anyway, it's one of the Best Bibles around in my opinion!  At the front is has some brief essays and the encyclical, "The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation".  Other essays such as "Origin, Inspiration and History of the Bible", "The Bible: A Catholic Perspective".  It also has the historical list of all 265 Popes up to Pope Francis and at the Back it has the Weekday and 3 Year Scripture Reading Cycles used for the Mass!

Although this is a very heavy Bible to tote around, I love it. You have four different versions to read the scriptures in and get the different word plays on. It's like having four Bibles in one!

I've had this Bible for a couple of months as of March 24, 2018. I've never been big on writing in Bibles because I like getting a fresh look at scripture each time I come to it. I don't want what I wrote last time to blind me to a new revelation next time.

But as a recent empty nester, I had a desire that my Bible would be a legacy gift to my children and grandchildren when I'm gone. I want them to have a testimony of my walk with the Lord, and my prayers for them, when they pick up my Bible after I'm gone. That's why I bought a note taking Bible, and that's why I spent the extra money on the leather. I want it to outlast me.

I've been very pleased so far. There is plenty of room for writing notes. Even using cheap pens and highlighters there has been no bleed-through to the back of pages I'm writing on.

My one disappointment is the lack of cross references. I know they couldn't fill it with references if they wanted to leave room for note taking. But at least when the Old Testament is quoted in the New Testament, which they do indicate with bold type, I'd like to know where in the OT that quote comes from.

As a compromise I either use the CSB in the My Bible app on my phone, or my Kindle with the  CSB Spurgeon Study Bible to see the same passages with reference notes.

I bought 3 of these little guides--the dictionary, the concordance and the bible handguide as lightweight travel options to take to bible study.  I really didn't expect them to be as good as full-sized guide books.  I was wrong!  These 3 books have brought much insight to my whole group, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to have bible accompaniments.

My favorite Bible for easy understanding that I bought 4 more and gave them to family and a friend as a gift.  The stories are titled and subtitled which is a great help.  This encourages reading on without the usual frustration of following where a story begins and ends.  The prints are bold and not small compared to many other Bibles.  This Bible is more like sitting down to read a novel, totally enjoyable.

I already had this bible in a new King James Version and loved it someone else bought the old bible for me not knowing my convictions. I searched and search for the kjv just like it and years later found this one! I love this bible!! The writing in it is just beautiful! The notes in it are helpful! I got the bible for a steal and I couldn't be happier! I'm very choosy with my bibles an for once I found a bible that I wouldn't trade or want to change!!

I have purchased almost twenty of these Bibles (when on sale), and given them as graduation gifts to students at my church. They love them -- as do several adults who now have them. It is easily my favorite to read from, for the tactile pleasure of holding and opening it, and the proper font type size inside. I ordered this recently one for a student who's backpack (and Bible) was stolen, and they wanted this version again most of all.  I hope Crossway does more along these lines in the future. pastor d b

I am so excited with the Bible since I gave mine to someone who needed one a few years ago. It was in excellent condition. Thank you.

I am enjoying this Bible so much!  I take it to Bible study, where the notes and explanations are often very useful.  I ordered it "used," but it's like new and arrived in a short period of time.  I would definitely recommend this Bible to anyone who sees value in photos, maps, lists, footnotes, and other study aids. It has added a lot to my own understanding.

I absolutely love this Bible!  I am 24 but have only been going to church for a little while (I was raised in an atheistic household and am now a Methodist) and this is my first Bible.  I carry it with me everywhere.  I like how pretty the cover is and how it allows me to read the Bible in public discreetly without drawing attention like I would with the traditional black embossed cover.  I also like that the pages aren't onionskin, they're regular paper and the font is easy to read.

I found a lot of great features to recommend with this Bible. My first thought on seeing the front cover was that it was a throwback to my teen years in the 70s. The neon colors and the silver glittery edging are adorable. The back cover also has neon colors, and the entire cover is a soft fur over a hardcover. The end pages are a bright pink, and the bookmark is neon orange, while the pages are edges in a beautiful shade of purple. It would definitely be difficult to misplace something this colorful!

At the front of the Bible, there is some information about the New Living Translation, including the names of the entire translation team. At the back, there is a dictionary/concordance, a list of Great Chapters of the Bible (chapters which deal with things such as creation, the ten commandments, sermon on the mount, the greatest commandment, faith, temptation, etc.), a list of great Bible verses to memorize, a 365 day reading plan to get through the entire Bible in one year, and several full-color maps.

The text includes the words of Jesus in red letters, and is a very reader-friendly translation, easy to understand. The "slimline" style makes it easier to carry, and the hardcover helps it to stay open to a specific page more than some softcover editions I've used.
