Justme There are three Open Bibles. The first was what many fell in love with. Then they came out with the "New Open Bible" which I dearly love. And in the 90's they came out with a new "Open Bible" which I don't like at all. I have a New Open Bible in NKJV that I paid 19 dollars for bonded leather with a grey cover. I just wanted a Bible for my desk. Well I started using it and use I did. Within 3 years the cover was shot and the pages were falling out. I found a local book store that had a book binder and they sent it out. The re-covered it in glove leather, put in new fly leafs and rebound the pages, rebuilt the spline and fixed everything all for 50 dollars. I now have my favorite back. I usually only buy genuine leather (except for the bible above) and I look for symth sewing and french paper pages. Holman use to make an excellent Bible but lately they aren't so hot. Probably the best are Foundation and Kirkbride. |

EdB: Dis you know Kirkbride and Zondervan have ties with each other. Kirkbride was the first to come out with the "glue lock" systen when the Thompson Chain NIVfirst came out. That was a real disaster!. I have rebound a couple of old Bibles from 1870ies. It several weeks at 20 hoursa weeek. The work takes lots pf time to align the edges and sew it back by hans. I did this as a gift, and I might do it again. Yest I did buy a 1990's edition. I too found it not anywhere as good as the orignal. Blessings, I feel we have moved much closer to knowing and understanding eacher. This has been a good day. Thank you. agape, justme |

Justme I didn't know of the ties between Kirkbride and Zondervan. I hope they aren't too deep. This has been a good day! God's richest and fullest blessings to you and yours EdB |

A series of good points made regarding Christian literature. We are inceasingly becoming "junk food" Christians as was noted by Justme. I found a quote by Miles Stanford in The Complete Green Letters that is pertinent. In the chapter titled, Life Via Literature he writes,"The good has always been the enemy of His best. No books can replace the Book, and only those of the highest caliber can assist in opening its treasures. Therefore, seek the best and shun the secondary". Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |
