TRIGGER WARNING! ; p I apologize in advance if a certain moment in this video causes you to wince or even cry. These things happen, but rarely do they get captured on camera. So it's actually a blessing! Hahahaha pure JOY! Ugh. Oh well. Thanks for watching! Also I was distracted by said event and misspoke at 14:51. I should have said the Allan is taller and wider, not the Schuyler. Derp. ; )

I like this Bible and I enjoy using it. However there are a number of things I would change about it if I could. I’m sorry if I focused on those things too much in this video. I got my copy for $104, I believe, and I am extremely happy with it for that price. But not everyone is going to be happy with this Bible, especially if they are expecting to have plenty of space to write notes.

Just discovered your channel while watching various reviews for the Allan NASB Reader that I’m waiting to arrive. Just wanted to comment and say that I love your content and style brother, you have a new subscriber in me. Hope to see more from you in the future. God bless!
Hi. Wish I had found this earlier. I bought a Quentel and found it hard to follow along with it in church. I ended up getting the Allan to be my church Bible. The text just jumps off the page for me. Don't get me wrong I love them both, but if I had it all to do over I would have just gotten the Allan and been done with it.
Thanks. Great easy video. And thanks for the link.
Come back, bro. Hope you and your family are okay.
IT'S NICE AND TIGHT IT DOESNT MOVE AROUND TO MUCH. THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID WINK
Well if you ever want to sell, let me know. NOT the Zondervan obviously.
Watching this as I've just ordered a 53 Longprimer black goatskin SPC, I already have a 53 Longprimer with red/golden gilding, but the moment I saw the red speckles I just told myself I needed to have this, thanks for this video.
I like that there is NO concordance. Don't need them in smaller bibles. Leave those for larger sizes.
I can appreciate that and of course opinions will vary, such as those regarding what constitutes a "small" Bible. 😉 Thank you for watching!
“He’s back with the sofa crack” 😂😂😂
He is. And he should probably sell some Bibles and buy a new sofa. 😆 Thanks for watching!
I wish the apocrypha wasn't in it....
I get that. I tend to use the NRSV more for reference and comparative study than as a reader, so I appreciate having the additional material. It’s easy enough to ignore it when I’m reading, but like I said, I definitely get what you mean. Thanks for watching.
I like the Apocrypha - history if not 'inspired' - Can still learn from it, besides part of the Bible for 1800+ years.
The margins of the 2024 edition are about 1/8" larger all the way around. Maybe 1/4".
I’m happy to have a bit extra in the gutter, but I’m not planning to write in this so it isn’t a big deal. A little more framing for the the text is nice, I guess. I’m just happy I haven’t found any printing issues in mine… yet. I know about the error in Job with the missing ‘s’, but I haven’t found any ink smudges in Genesis or Joshua or elsewhere. I half expect that I will at some point, but maybe not.
The Allan NRSV has never had a concordance. The Apocrypha was added in 2019 (not present in 2008 or 2012 editions).
Thanks!
Missed you, bro.
I appreciate that. I just noticed today that I've missed a bunch of comments. Kinda lost the desire to be on here, to be honest. But it might just be a phase.
@@LeaningTowerOfBible yeah. Totally get it. Not every you-tuber is going to make videos forever. Plus wife and kids and work can take priority. Still, I've always enjoyed and looked forward to your videos. Hope you never disappear for good. BTW, I bought that purple premier collection NRSV for my mother-in-law because of your video. When I saw it in person, I had to get one for myself too. I'm also not a huge fan of the translation, but it's so nice. Anyway, prayers from the states for you and the family. Stay safe, be good, God bless.
I was terrified to damage my Schuyler when I first purchased it, but it occurred to me that the reason I purchased it was because my cheap Bible fell apart. I set out to actually read it and use it, for what is the point in having a quality Bible that will last a lifetime if I never use it? I purchased a thin micron pen and started marking it up. Now, I'm more careful in how I mark my Schuyler and I put more thought into what I actually write, but I don't let the price tag and high quality scare me from using God's word. My wife's Bible is currently falling apart, so I purchased her a Crossway ESV Omega. She loves Crossway ESVs, so I got her a higher quality one over the "value" Bible that she had been rocking. My hope is that this new Bible I gifted her will last.
I have wanted to purchase an Allen for a few years now, but I already own a NAS95 Schuyler. That has been a wonderful Bible for me. Even though I don't see the NAS95 going out of print, I do get a little leery that it may, one day, get to be hard to find. I am not a fan, one bit of the changes they made to the NAS20. I have decided to purchase another premium, last-a-lifetime NAS95. This time, I purchased this Allen.
I like both, but I would get a discount on that scratched one! ).
Thank you Sir.
I received this exact same Bible the 2002 Cordovan Calfskin thinline. Still have that same box. I still use it for everything. It’s my favorite Bible of all time. I also have the black version as well. My son uses my black version for studies and school. I had a friend who worked for Crossway back in 2001. He gave us hardback copies the week it came out. So it’s been my translation since. The cordovan also ages well!!! Also I had a darker version cordovan calfskin. I have a friend with the same Bible as you and they are different. Mine has a smoother cover.
Thanks 🙏
I own a lot of bibles. I thought the difference was just TRANSLATIONS! But I guess: Layout, construction, Color, Style, font, might make a difference!! Also as a biblomaniac, I probably should have a premium Bible. I sort of do... But they are all $40-$50 items, bought used (on sale...) IMHO
I got that pocket one and i thought that was the pitt minion, good to know the pitt minion is bigger
What do you think of the regalis schuyler NLT bible? Seems like no one has that one up on UA-cam
Tower of Bible and sword horder are the best Bible review names. I’m not huge on ribbons when I review Bibles but I still enjoyed this.!
Is the font smaller than the Pitt minion?
Are you willing to sell the Allan?
He's back!!!!!!!!! Been thinking about you, brother! Hope you and the family are doing well.
I like how I can now sing your channel name in my Olivia Newton-John voice. Family is great, thank you! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you, Brother!
Here's Johnny!
Both very nice! But liking the Allan a bit more.
Which do you prefer; Petrol Blue or this Bright Blue?
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.
Is the firebrick red a bright red or a lighter maroon? I seen a Schuyler Bible and it was bright red. I love that color but this looks darker.
Dunno but I have one (RSV) and it’s very dark and muted. Not sure if there’s a lot of variation or if the lighting can be deceiving.
Hey, brother. Hope you and the family are doing okay.
Is it easy to hold? Like holding it in the same way you’d hold a novel?
I am ordering the deep brown for me & this red for my Wife. These bibles are beautiful IMO, and although I am a KJV guy, I really like this translation for studying with my wife & children
Great video! Your results are better than any of the other ones I have seen on UA-cam. Thanks.
Actually looking to buy one of these right now. If the price gets right I’m buying it.
Guessing still not wanting to let go of the big bird? 😢
Do you like one over the other? The ev bibles one is 170, the Alan is 280 in price.
And do you think the show through Is less on the Allen? I care more about reading and opacity.
My wife wants that BIG BIRD Allan. You get ready to let it go let me know.
Not looking to sell it are you?
I’m having problems with paper curl with my Allan nasb silver line. Anyone else experience this?
Anyone having a page curl issue with these?
Thank you for your review 😊! Does the extra yapp make it more clumsy to use, to flip back and forth? Thank you 😊
Yes, it kind of does. But it's a trade-off that works for me because I like the look and the extra protection.
Second comment. Just treated myself to a 43, purple with a red liner. Red under gold gilt. My first Allan. Excited. Segoi ne? My wife's half Japanese BTW. Can't wait for my first Allan to arrive. Stoked.
I'm with you. I can't do that surgery on a Bible and I cringe when they start separating the headband from the text block. I looked on amazon for the ones that tuck between the headband and cover but the colors weren't good. I'm not a DIYer but I though I might be able to make one, although mine wouldn't be of synthetic leather. I want to add a couple of ribbons to a $20 Bible I just bought that has NO ribbon. It's a thinline so it will have to be narrow, plus there's not much space behind the headband but I'm going to try to make one.
Nice purple stack there at the end! Got one of these for my MIL months ago. I was so impressed that I had to get one for myself. Overall, I LOVE this Bible.
I just love these show-off videos!
Several years ago their Firebrick Red was a deep, rich true red. It's now darker and no longer a true red. I just received a Quentel and was disappointed in the color. I gifted a Firebrick Red PSQ a few years ago and it was a much prettier color, imo. Good review; thanks!
Hi. May I ask where you order your bible
