1 | Your Favorite, Best Quality Bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | TaureanMan | 179573 | ||
Brothers and Sisters in Christ: I am wondering what is your very favorite Bible for quality as well as usefulness, i.e. - thumb index for fast reference - excellent quality leather cover - stitched binding for long wear - font size for readability - extra features, etc? I am looking for the best quality bible that will be my treasure for my days on earth and that I can pass on to my daughter. I prefer the NKJV but I am open to other versions as well. God Bless |

2 | Your Favorite, Best Quality Bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | justme | 179574 | ||
TaureanMan: I liked your question, it's good to have an intrest in a Bible that will last to be passed down to family, who just might get ideas on how you searched the Scriptures. Evaluate where you are in your growt as a Believer. For just about everyone how to apply Scripture is constant for our life on this earth. I have a good number of Bibles, and my family says I collect Bibles, and when we go to the Christian Book store I go to look at the Bibles first. No matter what bible you select, make sure it's made of one piece genuine leather, NOT BONDED, as bonded leather is stiff and does dry out and begins to fall apart in a few short years. Genuine leather gets softer and protects better than any other meterial. Very few Bibles are Smyth Sewn any more. This is a binding that holds for many, many years. Smyth Sewn Bibles are more costly then other Bible bindings. Genuine Calf leather is the softest, best leather, again it cost more. Some Bible publishers have such leather, generally it is the top of the line Bible. For me I use the NASB Life Application Study Bible, in genuine leather, by Zondervan. It is ISBN 0-310-91161-3. There are several colors in the leather. The cost should be 75 to 90 dollars depending on where you purchase it. This Bible is made with good quality and the pages hold solidly, and there is nice room to make notes. My pastor uses the NKJV, and the NASB follows that version fairly well. I would encourage you to find a very Large Christian Book store and spend some time looking at the different Bibles. In my area Life Way's book store has a huge selection of Bibles and many versions to choose from. A leather Bible that's been cared for will last many years. I have one from 1959, and several others that I use often and I think the leather looks nicer the more the Bible is used. Once some one said to me that all Bibles should be read. No matter how nice the Bible, unless it's used it is not doing anyone any good. Hope this helps. Justme |
