For home reading, I prefer my Schuyler Canterbury, Schuyler Quentels (NKJV & NIV), or Cambridge Cameo. But for church and Sabbath school class, nothing compares to the Pitt Minion. Because they are so compact, it is easy to bring both my NKJV and NIV (so I can be on the same page as the pastor when he's preaching) to church with me. Yes, the font is small, but it is crisp and attractive and easy to read in adequate light. The numerous references, good concordance, and excellent Cambridge maps make the Pitt Minion a superb bible. Highly recommended - no matter your preferred translation!
Great comparison vid; it’s helpful to see them so close together to gain a proper perspective of size comparisons. The reason the pagination doesn’t exactly correspond between the text of the Pitt Minion Reduced in the Reference Edition is that it’s the format of the 1st generation Minion (verse-by-verse) as opposed to the current 2nd generation (paragraph) format. I know there are many who wish they still offered the verse format in the full size. The 2nd edition does also have the more modern Lexicon font as well. I love the look and format of the Pitt Minions; I’ve wanted one since I first saw them… they’re just so attractive (have yet to even see or handle one in person though, so I only judge from vids like this). It would be awesome if they made a text-only version in the same size, which of course, would definitely allow for a bigger font point size to be used to negate any of the ‘tiny-text’ issues some have. Thanks for the laughs ;)
"You're KILLING me, Smalls!!" -- H. Porter (aka "The Great Hambino") And with THAT, the Pitt Minion gets closer to being usable to my tired eyes!! Although I'll admit -- sometimes I wish the Pocket Reference (minuscule the print might be) was in other translations, like the Pitt.
My first Bible was a KJV pocket edition Cambridge in French Morocco, tiny font. So anything in comparison is perfectly readable font. Never complained, lol. Worst case scenario buy some 1.25+ reading glasses. People just love to complain.
No. I have a few good friends from around the world, including Massachusetts, and over time I've absorbed some of their speech patterns and quirks. I'm from Oregon. Thanks for watching!
I got that pocket one and i thought that was the pitt minion, good to know the pitt minion is bigger
It's all about perspective 👍
Plus, I chortled out loud in the lunch room at work when you talked about accidentally zipping yourself up 😂
I used to have that same picture as my TH-cam profile pic for a long time. :)

NKJV is the only modern translation worth your faithful study.
And I thought the Cameo was a tiny Bible... 😳
