I don't get all the hate on the NIV. It is a really lovely translation and so easy to read. I'm not KJV only but I always back up my studies with it and is by far the most wholesome and poetic version. NIV is perfect for new believers!
I got one because of your review. I love the silver gilt. After years of use this paste down has held up perfectly. I give it a thumbs up. Thanks Beau 👍
i have the exact bible, i love it, its very easy on this old eyes, feels very soft, and its the perfect size to carry for church, it is my favorite bible.
Just wanted to thank you for a great review.Very thorough and informative.And it is a great looking bible.Keep up the good work brother.God bless you and your family today and always.
I'm glad to see the NIV reviews. Keep them coming! :-) I have this Bible and I like it though I'm still undecided about the NIV Comfort Print. I think the font in the CSB large print personal size reference Bible is just about perfect. I hope you'll be able to review the NIV Heritage Bible when it comes out next month; I'm curious how the Comfort Print will look at a smaller size in a single column premium Bible. On a side note, I see that Zondervan is also releasing a line of Comfort Print NRSV Bibles next year including the Cultural Background Study Bible. I'll be very interested to see what they do with Comfort Print for the NRSV. I know the NRSV gets a lot of flack but I for one am very glad to see that it's being released in some popular editions.
Not a fan of the comfort print either. It stresses me out lol it’s like a type writer font and to me it’s too choppy. Everyone else seems to like it LOL so I guess it’ll be staying for a long time 👎🏼
Comment on the head/tail band color. I have a Cambridge Pitt Minion bible purchased in June 1963. The color of the head/tail bands is the same as this Zondervan Bible.
Beau, just curious -- did you end replacing the paste-down liner? If so, Can you please put pics in comments section? Or maybe even another vid? Thanks for your reviews.
I've got a few questions if you don't mind: Is the paper very white and opaque? It sure looks that way in the video. Also, is it line matched? Finally, I heard you say "8.5 by 5.5." Are these the actual dimensions? The specs I've found must be incorrect, stating 9 by 7! Thanks for the great reviews, sir!
I already asked Casey Fleet, but wanted your opinion also. Which do you like better, this niv large print personal size in calfskin or the esv large print personal size?
I personally love the ESV LPPS because I prefer the font style more and the paper is better in my opinion. I hope that Zondervan will produce an NIV LPPS Premier Collection edition.
I have a question is the manual sized bible bigger than the personalized bible im asking because i purchesed a bible last time off internet but got compact sized wich was to small so im trying to see wich is big ger before i order a new one since i don't know any thing about the size or diffrence
Hello bro, Did you mean that the paper quality of this Bible is better than the NIV "THINLINE" REFERENCE BIBLE COMFORT PRINT CALFSKIN? Please confirm. Thanks

Jsanc2075 Never mind the NIV haters & their thoughtless accusations
I love it and have been in the faith since 96

Finally picked one up. I love it. Excellent leather, printing and ribbons for the money.

I just ordered this Bible. This is my first Premium Calf Leather. I am so excited to get it tomorrow. I only paid $43 for it.

Agreed!. Semi premium. If they’re not going to have edge lined, like the Spurgeon Bible, at least provide raised ribs. Good for $50 though 👍

Which NIV Bible is easier to read for older eyes in your opinion-this one or the premier large print thinline which you also reviewed?
Hey Beau... Here's my big question. Can you highlight and write in this Bible?
Do you think or know... does it have the “normal” amount of references compared to the thinline reg print?

May I know the exact measurement (height x length x thickness) of this bible?? Thanks
Min. 8:15
(8.5x5.5)
You think comfort print is better?
Esther 4:11 Some people do. Some people don't
Hello bro,
Did you mean that the paper quality of this Bible is better than the NIV "THINLINE" REFERENCE BIBLE COMFORT PRINT CALFSKIN?
Please confirm.
Thanks
I meant to compare it with the previous editions prior to the conversion to the comfort print typeset
@@BeauTate Thanks for taking time to reply. God bless!!! (I've got the idea)
If it was only the 1984 text edition I would have snapped it up.
i have one, and i got it cheaper, i bought it 49,99, i believe
Does anyone really care about the box ?
