The Jesus Bible, NIV Edition, (With Thumb Tabs to Help Locate the Books of the Bible), Leathersoft, Brown, Thumb Indexed, Comfort Print

This is my 5th personal bible to walk into. I had been in search of one that had larger text, thicker paper, and margins for study notes or doodling. However, this bible does not have thick paper (but it is quality), nor does it have larger print. I read the reviews before purchasing it, and realized that right away. I have started reading through it and am in love with how each book of the bible is directed to the characteristics of Jesus. Literally, each book has a page before it that says, "Jesus.... our _________" where the next page starts the book with a thorough explanation of when the book was written, why, who wrote it, and what you will find in the book. In the pages of each book, there are side notes for certain scriptures that help you understand them. And of course, the articles from the authors are AWESOME!!! I am using my prismacolors to highlight instead of actually highlighters (as I do not want them to bleed through) and have my book-tabs to help me better navigate the bible, and have already found a lot of additional help with studying the different books of the bible, from the helpful notes and introductions that this bible provides. I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to walk back through the bible and see things in a new way, or for Christians who are looking for some extra bang in their reading. Love Love Love this!

I love this Bible! Got the grey cloth-bound version free at this year's Passion Conference in January (yay!). My Dad isn't really a Christian, but last month I left this Bible (the cloth-bound one) lying around and he picked it up and told me he liked it. I gifted it to him and got myself the blue/green leather-bound one because I loved The Jesus Bible so much, and it was helping me a lot with my devotions. A few days ago, my Dad sent me a text telling me how much reading the Bible is making him understand the Word. So yay, I'm really grateful for this Bible! The gospel is preached on every page, thanks to the notes that point to Jesus. I might be getting it for a few Christian friends struggling with their faith.Since I have used both versions, I thought a comparison might be helpful for people considering either :)Cloth-bound version (Grey): The cloth-bound version feels a lot heavier than the leather-bound imo. It also has a lot of space around the pages if you want a Bible to journal with. Con: I dropped it from my bed by mistake before I gave it away, and the cover tore :((. Which is part of the reason I decided to go with the leather-bound this time. But it can be glued back if this happens to you (on the other hand it won't happen if you're a responsible person who doesn't sleep with your Bible on the bed haha).Leather-bound version (Green/Blue): The leather-bound is really pretty! It's a light bluish-green. It's also a lot lighter than the cloth-bound version, so you can definitely carry it around without it feeling heavy. It has gold-lined edges too, which I think looks really cool. Con: not much really. It doesn't come with the spaces around the pages so it is NOT a journaling Bible, if that is important to you. But for the lightness, you can probably get an extra notebook to journal with.In conclusion, both versions are great, and The Jesus Bible itself is Jesus- and Gospel-focused, and lovely besides :)Edit: The leather-bound version DOES come with a bit of space. But for some reason it just seems a bit smaller and less journaling-friendly to me than the cloth-bound :/

First off, the shipping was super fast. I ordered on a Sunday, it was here on Monday night! The packaging is simple but everything was nice and neat when it arrived.I opted for the imitation leather because I was worried about the reviews on the binding of the hardcover. The bible is 2 inches thick, and a bit heavier than other bibles I have. I'm guessing because of the single column and wide margins. I'm a little concerned with the strength of the binding, but since this bible is for home, it should be ok...Now for the inside. This is NOT a study bible, so it does not have the detailed histories, maps, and in depth summaries of each book. So, if that is what you are looking for, consider pairing this with another bible during your study time.What it does have are amazing articles and side bars that weave Jesus through the entire bible. Old testament included. Each book starts with a 2-page summary of the overarching theme(s) and how it all ties to Jesus Christ. The margins leave ample space for notes and journaling on most pages. And on others there are tidbits that dive deeper into a specific scripture, concept, or word.In the back, there is a weights and measures table and a dictionary concordance.Overall, I'm loving this bible for my personal study at home. This bible is not going to be the one I take to church, but I have been enjoying using it to do my quiet time and take notes directly inside. The pages are thicker than onion paper, but not super thick, so there is a subtle bit of see through with pens and highlighter, but not so much that it distracts from the text on the other side.

I love everything about this Bible....almost. The linen cover is stunningly beautiful. The concept of showing Jesus throughout the Bible is brilliant. I even like the white space someone else criticized. However--seriously guys--you couldn't make a 9 point print Bible? Yes, I could buy reading glasses, but they will only work if I use contacts; my regular glasses have only minor magnification--and there's the astigmatism factor. I'm wanting to use this in teaching the Scriptures--but the print is ridiculously small. For that reason, I give it a 3 instead of a 5.

Just bought The Jesus Bible! So so pleased with it. I thought as it was an NIV published in America I might not like it but nothing could be further from truth it's very readable. So glad I bought it and I love the colour too.

Amazing Bible - really interesting articles throughout

Perfect

Great Bible for every day use

Very good
