Awesome Bible
I recently decided to become even more officially middle aged by buying large print Bibles to help with the middle age bonus of worse vision than you already dealt with your whole life. It’s great isn’t it? I decided to take the opportunity to try out new translations as well. I still have almost a dozen options in the house between me and my husband’s collections, but they weren’t meeting my want for an easy to *read* and just *enjoy* the Bible more like a general book to read… they feel more like reading a textbook (NASB, ESV, NET, etc) or they have undergone one too many revisions to where I no longer like what’s currently in print (NIV), or just clunky (AMP, KJV). So I found a free online Parallel Bible website and tried a bunch and the NLT kept being the column that I was most enjoying. It was just easy and comfortable and enjoyable but most of all inviting… I wanted to keep reading without effort, it was just different enough to my “ear” to feel new again without being so new/different to feel foreign (like paraphrase translations like MSG, Passion, the original Living Bible). It also didn’t feel like I was being given a simpler translation like I was a kid (NRIV). This was the Goldilocks translation I wanted as my daily bedside reader. I also really like the NLT’s use of subject/transition headings so you can more easily find specific stories/events and have a better idea of when/where is a good stopping point when reading for leisure.I picked this specific edition for when I want to read with study notes or when I’m researching something. It’s been a long time since I have purchased a Life Application so it’s been nice to see all the new editions. The formatting and use of color has made this much easier to find the Study sections and easier to mentally drop in and out of the Scriptures or to visually ignore the Study parts altogether.As for this printing I find the font size to be comfortable to read the text and the notes. The cover is beautiful and feels sturdy enough. The dimensions are a little bigger than anything else I own, mostly in the thickness. I definitely prefer this supported on a pillow or on a table, especially if I need to jump around in the pages. But it’s tolerable in just my hands for straight through reading. You could take this to church but you’d probably want a purse or satchel to carry it around with. if you want something large print to read in church or take on vacation or to take out in public to read I’d highly recommend the larger print options in the Filament version where the study notes are in a phone app so the physical Bible can be printed in smaller dimensions. That’s also a great way to dive in the read without being distracted or overwhelmed or intimidated by the notes (which is a great gift Bible or starter Bible for a new Believer or first time cover to cover reader).The paper is decent enough quality. It’s a little on the thin side to reduce weight and size of the book. Ghosting is not an issue in good lighting and hardly noticeable with a good clip on book light. In bad lighting you may need to lift up the page you’re reading and let it gently fall back into place so it’s not completely pressed into the underlying page, or use a blank piece of printer or cardstock paper (which doubles as a bookmark) as a blotter page behind the page you’re reading if you’re really sensitive to it. I use pencil and Frixion Pastel Highlighters in Bibles and that works well on this paper with minimal ghosting (especially if you overlap coats) but no bleed through (however, erasing Frixion Highlighter causes the paper to pucker and a faint amount of discoloration will remain).I really think they did a great job of balancing out all the possible pros and cons this kind of print edition has to contend with. The cost seems a little inflated compared with the discounts I often see on their similarly oversized Bibles in other editions but in the end I’m still happy with it because the content is worth it.

Oh the joy of the analysis in this version.
Saw this on a ladies insta page and I immediately got the bible/biblical academic reading and explanations and it is refreshing and giving new life and understanding to me.
