MEV Personal Size Large Print (Cherry Brown): Modern English Version (MEV)

The is genuinely one the nicest copies of the Holy Bible I have ever seen. It is truly a 'personal' size being the ideal size for carrying to Church etc. The font is exceptionally easy to read and you can't really see the writing on the other side of the page. However what makes this particular Bible unique is the colour of the imitation leather cover, bring cherry brown- its a beautiful cover making it look considerably more expensive than it really is. The edging of the pages are also a kind of cherry brown making the whole Bible look very elegant. The Bible was printed in China which makes it even more surprising. I bought it for personal devotions in this new translation the 'Modern English Version'. It reads quite similar to the Authorised Version only in modern but dignified US English. I highly recommend this new translation the MEV its really very easy to read whilst also being accurate to the original Scriptures. The Bible has one burgundy ribbon marker. There is a relatively long concordance at the back, but no maps. I am impressed with the quality of this Bible all around and recommend it. It would make a great gift for presentations etc.

The 12 point print is larger and more legible than the 10 point which is often described as ' Large Print ' in Bibles. Which is exactly what I was hoping for. To me this translation reads more in accord with the King James Bible than the New King James, making it easier to follow a speaker reading from the other version. The binding and finish are excellent for a Bible at this price and it is a delight to handle. I can well envisage this becoming a standard for many evangelical believers who wish a translation of the Textus Receptus which is both understandable and reverent in its' tone and delivery.

The MEV is definitely a work-in-progress and I do hope there'll be future editions to correct errors and make further improvements. That said, for me, this is the most readable modern-day English version of the Bible based on the same text as the AV. I'm on my sixth time of reading it the whole way through over the past three years. On the last couple of occasions I've been particularly blessed by reading it out loud. I find the language flows so beautifully and I can definitely say it's my 'go to' devotional version.

The size of the Bible is around half of A4, and the book is lightweight (well, compared to my laptop), so it is very portable in my opinion. The print is reasonably clear considering the thin paper you cannot really ask for 100% opacity. After using it for my devotional for a week, I am fully satisfied.

This bible can undamaged in a beautiful leather semi hard book cover. I would definately buy this book again and recommend it to anyone. A great front size bigger than normal bibles of smaller font size.

So, firstly the overall build quality of this particular bible is okay, of course this is a mass produced product and there are some tale-tale signs of that.But more furthermore, this is (in my opinion) a much easier bible translation to read and to also follow the narrative.If you love the KJV like me, but find it hard to follow the overall story, the this “modern English bible” is a good substitute. I was also very disappointed to see no other reviews that had no pictures so I did it myself to make it clear what you are buying.

This is the best Bible currently available. It is different to such as the NIV, in that it is translated from more reliable texts. The same ones the KJV is translated from. It adheres to the KJV but is in modern English. A must for all followers of Christ.

I have a few bibles in different versions but decided I need a large print one. I prayed about what to buy, my favourite NIV or something else. I felt led to this one and I am so really pleased. I absolutely love it. Great quality, lovely print and I now love this version. Great service as well
