The Jesus Bible, well aren’t they all?

This is a neat, compact Bible and not a traditional Study Bible.  There are some notes but not many.  There are plenty of what I would call tidbits sprinkled throughout the Bible, but nothing heavy.  Some of the best notes appear to be in the Book of Psalms.  Each book has a short introduction with a brief timeline, but again nothing too serious.  The text of the sidebars (tidbits) is large and very easy to read.  The regular text is smaller and not what I think they call “comfort print” these days.

The Bible itself is smaller in height, but it is just as thick and plenty heavy for its condensed sized.   The cloth over board and the binding seem quite nice for your typical hardcover Bible.  I really like that it has a page ribbon, although two would be better.  The text is black and white throughout, so no red words of Jesus.  I know there are differing opinions on “red letter” Bibles, but I appreciate seeing that in context with the rest of the Scripture around it.   This is an NIV translation, which is not one I typically use (despite owning dozens of NIV Bibles).  It has a black, white and grey theme throughout, and the black page ribbon is perfect as is the black and white stitching on the binding.   This is a well-executed Bible as far as aesthetics go.

If you’re looking for a low frills Bible that doesn’t take up a whole lot of room on your bookshelf, this might be a good option for you.  I got this one at Ollie’s and think you can pick these up relatively cheap, considering the cost of Bibles these days.  A quick search shows Church Source has them for 28 bucks, in the comfort print and with not one, but a pair of page ribbons.  Not too shabby.

This Bible and scores more are here in my office and in the church library for you to look at or borrow any time.
