I find it interesting and enlightening to read and study from different translations of the Bible, and I usually gravitate to the NLT and CSB translations. My favorite part of my day is my quiet time with my Lord, when I can slow down to read and study the Bible. Otherwise, this bible is a work of art and will be my everyday bible! That’s pretty my only complaint, and it’s not really that much of a complaint. For me, It’s nothing really to complain about, but I could see how others would be a little concerned. One minor thing, however, is the fact that there is a tiny, little indent in the leather on the front of the bible. It comes in a hardcover box, with a black, little velvet sleeve which accents the bible, and a note from the president of Crossway. It doesn’t distract you from your reading, but does add a bit of flair. The note paper in the back isn’t glossy, which will help for inscribing. I looked at a size chart, and this font is bigger than seemingly indicated and far easier to read than some other cheaper Crossway bibles. The font size is way bigger than I had expected. It’s definitely better quality than the papier-mâché kind of paper you get with cheaper bibles. It’s creamy, velvety, and moon-white, if you can imagine that. The paper is indeed thin, but it feels smooth and good to the touch. The raised hubs are sturdy and exceptional. With the omega 80th, you get a pebbled, smooth supple cover more than a super soft leather. My pastor has an heirloom, I believe, and it’s more soft than smooth.
I actually prefer a stiffer cover, as compared to other bibles. The leather is indeed supple, but firm enough. This bible, as others have previously and rightfully noted, is amazing!
