I bought an NKJV Sovereign Collection Bible in brown leathersoft, and I love it. The cross references are easy to read, compared to other Bibles that are similar in size. The font is the best part of it, as plenty of ink is used on every page, including the red lettering, which is much appreciated. There is very little ghosting, despite the bold print. It is very enjoyable to read. I especially appreciate Thomas Nelson's translation notes, which cite the textual differences between the Textus Receptus, the Critical Texts, and the Majority Texts.
I found this bible in the purple leather soft at my local used bookstore for less that 25 dollars, still in the box ,brand new. It is a beautiful bible and I look forward to many years of use.
This would be a lovely gift for an established Christian who is familiar with the King James Bible, since it is missing the pronunciation helps within the text. Since this is such a clean copy, it would be a wonderful take-along to Church or Bible Study. It is also attractive enough to leave on a nightstand or end table, encouraging its owner to pick it up and read it, frequently!
Mainly using the Cambridge KJVs, I must say the pronunciation "help" is annoying. In many cases it makes me have to look up the assist in the beginning of the Bible. I think Thomas Nelson got it right on this particular issue.
Well presented, sir. (I thought I was watching PBS) With the very appropriate music and classic wooden pen, you only need to wear cuff linked shirts from now on. Great to know this item is available.
What a beautiful Bible! I really love the spine with the gold designs and the hubs. The inside with the drop caps is also beautiful!! Thanks for your review!!
The imitation leather is actually really affordable! $39.99 usd but you can probably find it on sale somewhere for cheaper. I just might have to grab one for myself.
This is very nice. The Translator to the Reader should have been included and that would complete the classic look they were looking for. Nevertheless, a very good looking Bible. The leathersoft editions are available on Christianbook.com since February 9, and are going for about $25.99 in three colour variations, black, purple and brown all of them have raised ribs too. Wonderful Bible.
I just bought a Humble Lamb Lion KJV Bible, and the text block reminds me of this one. I'm very happy with it, otherwise I'd consider this one. Great review.
I really like your bible demonstration bibles. One thing as a visually impaired person I'd like to point out, would you please say more about print size and and boldness, plus show through as well as page whiteness as these don't show up so well on video. This would be a great help for those out there like myself out here who happen to have sight loss. I personally appreciate 'comfort print', even though I still need extra visual aids in order to have a chance at reading it.
I used to read other versions of the Bible. But God has opened my eyes and now I only read the King James Version. However, I’m not a King James Version onliest, just a received text onliest and because the NKJV uses both lines of manuscripts I reject it.
It's potentially dangerous to justify something by saying God showed you. I could do the same. I feel like He shown me that all major a byzantine priority should be had, and with all manuscripts, the correct reading should be discovered. So whos right? I don't prefer the Critical text, but including it with all the others isn't a sinful maneuver, after all, in the end, they are Bible copies, whether perfectly copied or not (and I'd say not) but none are, but that doesn't mean we can't sparse out the truth from among all that we have. God has certainly given us that, all these manuscripts to find the reading which may be correct.
@@ethanrichard4950 you’re absolutely right. I was wrong and persuaded that was the “way” by an IFB church which I have left. I’ve grown a lot since this comment was posted 😅
Why did Nelson change "dominion" to "domination" at 2 Cor 1:24? Was ready to buy on Amazon but a reviewer there pointed this out, thinking it is a typo. No so, same change can be found in The KJV Foundation Study Bible. Wondering how many other Nelson KJVs have this change, and possibly others.
I like it. It actually kind of looks like a lot like a Cambridge from the front, but when you open it, it looks like the premier collection and the Canterbury had a baby. I have a PSC that I never read from, the font is just a hair too small and the leading a hair too close for me, personally. It may be that I would actually enjoy this one more. Great review.
Jeepers Creepers I hate the word cheaper. I like the word for Less or last course or not as much. I just don't like to word cheaper. I don't think they're cheaper I think they're outstanding LOL
@@jackdillon4467 any reason why you say go with this one? Because most people would say go with the Schuyler. This seems to be a more affordable version of The Canterbury, but what makes you prefer this one over that since you have both?
@@caomhan84 The price is right and it’s a gorgeous Bible and a great size. I have a few Schuylers and they are great but for the money, I go with the Sovereign
@@jackdillon4467 I know this comment is one year old. But I wanted to say that I'd never personally recommend a current production Thomas Nelson bible over a Schuyler. Not only for the Christian/gospel implications of supporting a Bible that is now made in China, where Christianity is heavily persecuted. But also for build quality reasons. Made in China copies of western production items always get the "Look" right, but the quality of the workmanship and materials used like stitching and glue are always sub-par for obvious cost cutting reasons. For someone who wants the top of the line KJV with a modern typeset in a beautiful package, the Canterbury is hard to beat. But honestly, in the price range you can buy the "Sovereign" collection from Nelson, you are much better off buying a Church Bible Publishers handsize Bible. Made in America, rugged and built to last. Can't beat paying $65 for a Bible that screams "Durability" the moment you hold it in your hands. CBP also includes the "Translators to the reader" epistle, and even in their handsize they include a good concordance and Bible dictionary in the back. Lastly, they are a ministry. So you are not only buying the Bibles almost at cost, but you are also supporting the preaching of the gospel each time you buy from them. I have a Schuyler canterbury for home study and pleasure reading. But my CPB Turquoise goes with me to church and everywhere else. Just a great quality workhorse of a Bible.
If as you say Schuyler is the Apple of bibles then this has got to be the Android of them cheaper with many element from others you not going to complain as it’s good but not necessarily brilliant.
I would rather they forego the book introductions and have more references, and put the prophecies of Jesus chart in the back that they have in the open bible.
No Apocrypha? No Translators to the Reader? No thanks. The single-column format for the poetic books is the one thing that makes it more than just a prettier version of Nelson's standard reference edition.
I read the apocrypha years ago and found it to stray into fantasy land to be honest. It’s an interesting read but its very clear why this is not part of the official cannon of scripture. From that perspective it really is not essential it’s just and historical add on so I never understand the fuss I would rather read truth when I read the Bible. This would make that bible even bigger as well as it being single column and it would not be personal just a massive bible. This is designed for easy carry and the person who wants quality but doesn’t want to spend a fortune.
The regal background music and the majestic King James make this review so British that it just colonized my computer.

I have both the KJV and the NKJV Sovereign Bibles. They are my favorite Bibles. I love that they are an affordable version of the Canterbury.

Cuff linked shirts 😆 Good idea!
He's gonna get sued by R. Grant Jones!
(only kidding- great video sir)
Peace.
What a beautiful Bible! I really love the spine with the gold designs and the hubs. The inside with the drop caps is also beautiful!! Thanks for your review!!
This awesome genuine leather Bible is now available on Amazon for $44! Beware of people who are selling it on Ebay for a lot more!
The imitation leather is actually really affordable! $39.99 usd but you can probably find it on sale somewhere for cheaper. I just might have to grab one for myself.
Excellent Personal Size Bible!
And an excellent read...
Just bought the Humble Lamb KJV Lion Bible. Very nice KJV Bible.
Yep I got mine today in blue really nice and not to big. Loving the on the pages and 3 ribbons are nice quality
Beautiful bible. Well done, Thank you for sharing your perspective with us.

Mine is on the way! Thanks for the review!!!
I just ordered me one of Amazon
Great review, thank you! This Bible looks really nice 👍

The faux-leather version does have a presentation page, but then, it's not edgelined and the paste-down is paper.

Hi, Tim. Great work for the Body of Christ. Do you think Nelson will be putting out Sovereigns with a bigger font? All the Best. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Great review, thanks!

More like the KJV Schuyler.
Very fancy my good sir!
...also, I believe every KJV should have the translators to the reader's.
