Is the Humble Lamb HIStory Still Worth Having?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2023
- The Humble Lamb HIStory Bible (NASB 2020) is exactly what you would expect from them. Innovative. Unique. Beautiful. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen a bible laid out like this. It is designed to be read in stories. The chapter numbers are diminished on the side of the page to take the focus off of reading chapters and verses. Instead, each story is introduced with a beautiful full color drop cap, and violet subheading. I tried to include as many as I could in these photos, but each one has its own custom artwork. Truly incredible.
The fore-edge gilding is a wonder in and of itself. It features art from stories in the Old Testament, with Jesus in the center, and then artwork from the New Testament. Humble Lamb does the best page edge work in the book publishing world, and I’ve seen lots of books. The purple (aka amethyst) Meritian Goatskin cover has more of a shine than previous releases, and it makes that grain POP! Same with the liner, which for this edition looks virtually identical to the lunar yellow (liner is also the Meritian Goatskin with same shine and grain).
As you can see in the pictures, this bible is thick, but compact (7 x 4.75 x 1.75 inches). This makes the fact that they have all 220 of Doré art illustrations and the full set of NASB 2020 references and translator notes (on the outer column) even more impressive. One thing to keep in mind about the references is when there are too many, they are wrapped around the bottom of the story. This is to keep all the references together with the story (as much as possible). It’s hard to believe they are able to do all this AND give us an 8.5 Milo font. The paper is 32gsm Ivory, and the text is line matched.
I’ve seen a few say the Words of Christ are in black instead of blue as advertised. Actually they are more of a violet. The color a little harder to see than the last edition, but not as hard to see as earlier editions. I’m not sure if this was intentional, but since the subheadings to the stories are in violet, it makes sense that the words of Christ would match. Intentional or not, it’s a feature I actually like. Just different enough from the black to see when Jesus is speaking, but plenty dark to avoid making them difficult to read.
While the layout does take some getting used to, it’s really nice that it forces you to slow down and take in the incredible stories of the Bible that all point to Jesus (a theme also very prominent in the custom drop caps). Everything about this bible screams “Jesus is the center” from the arrangement, to the drop caps, to the fore-edge. It’s not just a bible, it’s a total experience designed to immerse you in the story of the salvation of man in the person of Jesus.
One thing that may be important to note is that all of the HIStory editions are edge-lined. There are at this time no paste-off options. However, if you want regular color under gold gilding that’s available as a second option. I also noticed there are no black (or green) editions of HIStory available. Lots to take in with this bible, but it’s a clever design, and an innovative concept.

I think it's an excellent reminder to keep us all humble, people make mistakes
😐🤦🏾♀️
Humble Lamb knock it out of the park again. This is the most adventurous Bible in existence and beautiful in every respect. Anyone who can't forgive a couple of minor mistakes clearly does not understand the grace of God.
My HIStory Bible may have a few minor issues, but to me it’s still perfect! Well worth buying.
There are printing literally errors from cover to cover. No use saying that they would be fixed next printing. Are you sending new Bibles out to those who bought the first ones or refunding them?
You as a so called Christian company can’t even be bothered to reply to emails and when you have previously you just fobbed me off.
One very peeved customer who spent $450 Australian Dollars.
I am really impressed by Humble Lamb Bibles. Differently to most Bible publishers, they have been successful in creating a very distinctive elegant style, which, in my opinion, makes them the only real competition to Schuyler Bibles. About the mistakes, I believe that that is part of the unique experience of having a first edition (those 'details' may even make it more special over time).
I agree they are innovative, but there are several publishers pressing Schuyler to make a better product.
Can you elaborate on that please? I had no idea - thanks!
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews
I’ve got tons of videos comparing bibles to Schuyler. Check out the Premier Collection from Thomas Nelson/Zondervan. I believe they are pushing them hard.
Doesn't change my opinion at all. I will still be buying one! I'm so glad they chose the NASB as well!
Humble Lamb Bibles are always beautiful and very well made. I love this Bible. Those mistakes aren’t a game breaker for me. Like you said it’s a first edition, so it makes it unique. Love mine. Thanks for your reviews.
I love my HIStory Bible. The mistakes are minor. This is so gorgeous, and provide a beautiful reading experience. As well, I love the NASB2020. It's quickly becoming my favorite translation in the eclectic text.
Hi Tim! I bought the NASB Humble Lamb HIStory Bible in the Fox Orange & I absolutely love it, despite the few errors.
I think of it as a collector’s item because it is the first edition & it has the mistakes.
It’s a work of art. I love everything about it. The color on the cover, the Fore-edge with the beautiful artwork, the single column which is my favorite layout, the drop caps are gorgeous, I just wish the blue words of Christ were darker & more vivid. And I love the compact size. It’s so cute!
This is my very first Humble Lamb Bible, & I’m so happy I bought it. Thanks for your wonderful review as always! God bless you and Happy Birthday again Tim!! Enjoy! 🎂🍰🎉🎁🎊🙏🏻📖💜😊
Sometimes these things just happen. As long as the inspired words are all there, no problem. One of my favorite bibles, 1972 Nelson KJV, has a text error in 2 Chronicles 23:18, the second "with" is spelled "wit" on page 543.
Grace and kudos - well said! What a beautiful and unique Bible!
This is truly an art piece which could rest on a coffee table. I love my daily Bible which is well used but miss the art, design and reverent feeling that hand lettered medieval manuscripts displayed. The History Humble Lamb captures some of the artistic beauty of the past and magnifies the “Holy” aspect of Holy Scripture. It must be stunning when viewed in person.
Beautiful Bibles! I had to get the KJV with the Lion. It’s such a classic!
I wish they would offer their bibles in more than one translation per design. I absolutely love the HIStory design but I wish they would offer it in NKJV or even NASB 95 and maybe a larger version with a 10point font instead of 8.5.
You do a wonderful job with your reviews .. God bless you
Thank you for the informative video. I love NASB2020. I think im going to wait on 2nd printing.
I bet the publishers heart sank when he realized the errors. I doubt it will ever happen again.
That’s fair, and yes, I can imagine it was disheartening.
I think it looks awesome!! Great video!
I have the 1st edition Warner new Testament and just ordered the Humble Lamb lion . This has peaked my interest because it’s emphasis on stories and layout . At times I use my Bible app audio CEV translation to get a better understanding of certain long passages and stories . Getting this in the future will make sense for me as I can then switch of between the Lion and NASB.
I also bought the Humble Lamb bag too.
I keep hearing about all the mistakes in the NASB HIStory Bible, but they don't seem like that big a deal to me, as long as there aren't any textual mistakes. I would probably still buy one, if I could afford it, which, unfortunately, I can't. It is defintely a unique looking bible, with its small, chunky size. One thing's for sure, if you ever lay it down and forget where you put it, it shouldn't be that hard to find, especially if you get an orange or yellow edition. You don't see very many orange or yellow bibles.
I agree it isn’t a huge deal, however I also can see why some are disappointed. It is an expensive bible. It’s all about balance.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews That's true.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews If only they would come out with a less expensive synthetic leather version. That would be awesome!
@j.woodbury412 it’s just not the market they are after.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Oh well.
I have the blue and it is a beautiful Bible. I think what folks who ordered after it became available are upset about is that once the issues were known, they were not told before they ordered. If they had been told and those errors were an issue for them, they could have made an informed decision. I know these types of mistakes are important for some folks and not for others. I also found the blue lettering difficult to differentiate from the black lettering. But it is a very nice Bible
This isn’t entirely true. One of the issues I had to make them aware of just a few days ago.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews But some were known I believe. I may be wrong
Just curious, do you have this information first hand or are you repeating something you saw on a facebook group?
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews It is from an email someone received in answer to a complaint. I did not see the email. It was reported by them. Do you have information to the contrary? If the information I was given is wrong I would want to know.
Humble Lamb's Bible's are very special. They do an amazing job. Mistakes will happen. The mistakes you mention are not in the scripture, so it's not that important. I purchased the NKJV Amethyst Goatskin Shepherd based on your and Tim Wildsmith's reviews. Gorgeous. I would love to get the HisStory, but I am not happy with the NASB 20 translation for many reasons. I prefer the LSB, Legacy Standard Bible translation. Hope that Humble Lamb does a Bible with that translation.
Thanks for another great review. Appreciate your labors. I'm a little surprised HL chose the NASB for a translation on this one. There must be more NASB readers than I realize. It's certainly a unique layout. At that price point I wonder if they'll get enough interest. Seems like a better fit for the ESV, but I'm sure it's not easy acquiring permissions to print.
Some publishers are also very strict about how they allow their text to be arranged.
Ill be waiting for the NLT version of the humble lamb.
Thank you, Brother Tim 🌹⭐🌹
I’ve yet to see a first edition Bible without mistakes. My first edition LSB just sits on a shelf.
Happy birthday, Tim!!!
Two corrections: It has 217 Dore' photos, and the "blue" words of Christ are way too understated, my eyes cannot discern the color difference. That fact is the most major flaw in my opinion. Also, if you supported Humble Lamb as part of their Kickstarter campaign, you have no way to return your Bible if you are dissatisfied. Along with the numerous mistakes, I am definitely not happy with my purchase, or Humble Lamb.
My 2 cents worth! :)
I understand. But I had already corrected in my intro that there are 218 not 217 Doré images. Only two are missing.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Great thx for the clarification. Love all of your reviews!
I would definitely have one since I need a NASB 2020. I'm reading it online and I'm loving it.
Maybe I've missed it, but of all the Humble Lamb reviews I've watched, not once have I heard anyone mention their mission printed on the dedication page stating that for every Bible purchased they will help those in need with Bibles and Daniel like any legitimate philanthropist, doesn't ever mention it.
You’re right. I’ll point that out next time.
i think that’s one of the coolest things about HL.
I have the HIStory NASB Humble Lamb. I love it. I think the paper is a bit thin, but if careful with it, should be fine. 😊
The amethyst might be my favorite color combo yet. Those contrasting colors 😮
Yeah…for sure!
Wow. Thanks for this review. Honestly it convinced me to get this one over the Shepard or another publisher.
I wish in the NASB History the versus and chapters were more clearly marked.... I know not everyone feels the same but I would love that
I understand. The reality is, the point of this bible is to emphasize the stories, not the chapters and verses.
Yeah Tim they still make beautiful bibles regardless.
My Humble Lamb Lion in the green color is arriving via UPS today, I am stoked!
As someone who has had this Bible for a month, let me say that there are plenty of issues with this Bible. I am still breaking it in, but construction-wise, the Bible is not as quality in its finishings as Schuyler. There are huge issues that I am surprised more people aren't noting.
First, the Bible is both too small and too thick. It is a "reader's Bible", which in my opinion, is something that I sit down with on the couch or a comfortable chair and read at length. A "reader's Bible" is not a travel Bible -- something that one takes to church every Sunday. The dimensions should not be so small. That makes it too thick, which makes me worry about how well the spine will hold up. For example, when I sit down with my Trevaris, I can literally fold the cover back on itself, which makes it more wieldy than the Humble Lamb History because probably becomes as small as the HL when folded back (yet, maybe the HL will change as it breaks in).
Two, a "reader's Bible" should have a simple layout. I love the Dore artwork, but it does not fit in a reader's Bible. Moreover, the decision to add the Dore artwork to such a small Bible is strange. Dore's woodcuts are hard to appreciate when they are so small and it adds thickness to the Bible. This is why the Bible needs much larger dimensions.
Three, the NASB is a poor choice for a reader's bible. There are far too many cross-references and footnotes. I don't mean that in general, but for a Bible that is supposed to enhance the reading experience, the notes themselves and the markers in the text are far too distracting. The NASB does not lend itself well to the removal of these markers and notes.
Four, the text is too small for it to be enjoyable to read. It is fine for a travel Bible or a church Bible, but that is not how it is marketed. it is marketed to be story-centric, the idea of which I really like. But that is not the point, or the strength of such a small Bible. A larger thinner Bible with 10 point font would be much better suited.
With that said, it is a really cool Bible. Unfortunately not something that is going to get that much reading time because of these drawbacks, but I admire the ambition and will definitely consider buying another HL in the future if the price is right (like it was during the KS campaign). And I really hope this inspires other Bible makers to be more creative, for which I laud HL.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Let's not forget the worst Bible misprint of all, the "Wicked Bible" of 1631 which omitted "not" from Exodus 20:14 causing the verse to instead read "Thou shalt commit adultery"!!! Compared to that these are pretty minor issues
Best misprint.. not worst.
@@Chomper750 Disgusting and despicable. Good luck with that.
I’m from Reynoldsburg, Ohio, so I really like that color scheme.
To me, the duplication of the images is the "worst" printing error as it was touted to include all the Dore images. For me, if they would have offered to print the missing images on a nice matte cardstock and sent to the buyer it would have helped to mitigate much of the outrage. I recognize the expense required for this endeavor, but think it would have helped their customer service image.
I hear what you are saying. Your solution is easy to do yourself, but I get it.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Oh, no doubt. I just meant it would have taken away the sting that so many are feeling. Overall though, it's a great Bible.
A lot of older people would love to buy this bible but just can’t because the font is so small.
Yeah, compact bibles have to give someplace.
The humble lamb bible needs a larger font size, please let them be that, thank you sir.
The Lion has an 11pt font,
I just wish the font was bigger
They probably shouldn't have rushed it out so much. Maybe take their time on the first edition.
I don’t believe it was rushed. This has been in concept for a couple years and was being designed over a year ago. Mistakes happen. First editions almost always have minor ones.
I'm glad I passed on this one. I LOVE the purple and yellow, the art, the drop caps, etc. But those pages are too busy for my taste. And with the errors here and there, I'm glad I held off. I think the NKJV Shepherd is available in the same purple and yellow though, so that's tempting.
Give me the drop caps, the full Dore art, and a more traditional layout, and I'd be sold. (And a normal symmetrical spine)
It’s not for everyone for sure. But I’m glad it exists.
The mistakes are fairly minor as long as they aren’t in the main Bible text I don’t think it’s a big deal but they are competing in the premium Bible space so I get why people are fussy and want a perfect Bible at that price point. I’m glad I didn’t get the first edition while they work out the kinks, I would not have caught that Leviticus was misspelled but I would like to have the last picture as it was intended. Also I would be interested in a full size font wise. I think this edition could compete with the NASB Clarion for someone who wanted a portable Bible with a bit more personality. In your video you did not comment on how it handles or feels weight wise compared to the Lion and the Shepherd in terms of portability. And how readable is the font compared to the other two.
I have a second video coming that doesn’t address that either. 🤣🤣🤣
I find it as readable is the PSQ and it is much less weighty that the Lion and Shepherd.
Which humble lamb color design is your favorite?
@@pollycronopolis7648 the new Lion without question.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews do you like amethyst, Sahara Blue, Lunar Yellow, or Fox Orange the most?
@pollycronopolis7648 that’s tough. They have some new colors coming out. I’d say Amethyst for now.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews I have a Sahara blue and lunar yellow in the very back of my storage which we may never get to until the move in 6-8 months lol! I would love to pull them out now
I love my Humble Lamb NKJV Shepherd. just and FYI for ya, The words of Jesus are in blue for those people that are colorblind. thanks love your videos.
Yessir! Thats mentioned toward the later part of the video. It’s a feature I love about Humble Lamb!
Disappointed in the NASB 2020 Humble Lamb. Besides this version has missing verses. I just found out the 2020 is not the same as the 2019 NASB. It's hard to read and harder to find the verses when you need to because everything feels squished to fit in the page. I wish I can take a picture of what I mean. Nice beautiful leather. The pictures are nice as well and well made.
I did reach out to humble lamb last week still waiting to hear back.
I get your disappointment, but I don’t believe there are any verses missing.
As I recall, even the NASB Clarion had a typo in the preface.
I’d say there are more typos in bibles than most of us realize because we simply don’t catch them. Facebook has changed everything in that regard. One person sees it and posts it and then everyone is coming out with things they’ve found.
Actually from a collector’s stand point, those first edition Bibles that have errors might actually drive the price up!
I believe it would, but it will probably take decades.
Found another mistake. On page 1325 it says “Isaiah 66:25”. That’s not until the next page.
I’ll look it up and let them know.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews that’s the reason why I wrote you because I knew you had contact. :)
Can you send me pictures on Facebook?
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews
Sent! :). I sent a small video of it.
Not sure how collectible these will be since they are made in China. Maybe later on if they become a big time publisher having these first editions from the early days when they were just beginning will mean something.
It isn’t about where they are made, it’s about how many are made. There are several Humble Lambs already very collectible.
Where did you get your Bible nerd shirt from?
Museum of the Bible in DC.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thank you
It's still the whole Bible right? Just with headings to carve out the stories? You can still look up chapter/verse etc..? In other words it's not a paraphrase but an actual version?
Correct.
NASB 2020 is a no for me. I’m hoping they do a good version. NASB 95, LSB
Those are pretty obvious misses…
Fair enough.
Tim I received the same Purple Yellow HL History, but I'm pretty sure my Edgeline color is Black the same color as the ink that says HISTORY and HUMBLE logo, not purple??
Inbox me some pics on my Facebook page. Make sure you go to the right one. A Nickels Worth Bible Reviews. Not A Nickels Worth. That one is hacked.
Tim, I wish I knew how !! I don't use modern apps, the only reason I use YT is for content because I don't have cable, satellite or internet service where I live. I did find your page on FB but I dont have "messenger" set up. But like I said, I have the Eggplant with the mustard liner and the Blue with the English tan liner (still wrapped up in the box, unopened. But trust me, that edge line ink is definitely black and I doubt I could tak a picture to show it was anything but black, even if it were a different color It would still sow black in my non studios set up!!! If I figure a way to get you pics I will.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews
Are all of these Chinese Bibles? I am not familiar with this brand.
They are printed in China, yes.
When will the 2nd edition will come out?
Not sure. I’d say they still have plenty of the first edition.
Hi there, will you check and see "2 Samuel 21:19," does it say the following... "19 And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam." If so, then it's not correct.
That is the correct NASB 2020 rendering.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews: I like NASB translation, but if 2 Samuel 21:19 in the NASB 2020 says that Goliath was killed by Jaare-oregim then it’s incorrect. Goliath was killed by David. So, the words “brother of” should have been placed before Goliath. We must all be very careful with these new age translations.
@theworldtomorrow3960 however, that rendering is presumptuous. The words “the brother of” are supplied words. Even the KJV has them italicized. Like it or not, the 2020 has the more literal approach.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews: I understand sir, but the KJV translators understood the preceding definite article, the historical facts and the thought of the sentence from the original texts when translating, there was a solid and accurate reason for the madness for the KJV translators to do that. I’ve nothing against NASB, in fact I have two NASB Life Application Bibles, all I’m saying is that a phrase or a sentence in the Bible, if not translated correctly, can have serious consequences. We all must be very careful with other translations. Blessings.
You mentioned that the KJV Lion is an 11 point font. I don't think this is accurate. On their website they say it is 9 point font.
You must be looking at the NKJV Shepherd. That is a 9pt font. The KJV Lion is listed as an 11pt font.
I looked on their website again and you are right. Thanks for correcting me on this. @@anickelsworthbiblereviews
There are printing errors literally from cover to cover. No use saying that they would be fixed next printing. Are you sending new Bibles out to those who bought the first ones or refunding them?
You as a so called Christian company can’t even be bothered to reply to emails and when you have previously you just fobbed me off.
One very peeved customer who spent $450 Australian Dollars.
Exodus 22:22-24.... maybe possibly typos?
I don’t think so. The other 2020s read the same way.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thanks!
Let humble lamb know that, that is what I meant.
Disappointing. There are many text block and design flaws in this bible. A few were addressed here. Randy Brown’s review was much more thorough. Let us not forget…. This is a $200 compact bible.
Randy’s reviews are always going to be more thorough. That’s his role in our review community. I am the one that offers a quick look for those who need to see the basics and don’t have time for lengthy reviews. I also have a second video edited for this bible. Thanks for watching!
One last thought, design choices aren’t flaws. In this instance I just happen to like the design choices.
Love you brother Tim, respect you and everything you do for the Saints. I knew you would chime in because you appreciate your viewers. I collect bibles, in particular high end bibles. I count on you, Randy and Wildsmith to point things out to me when I consider a purchase. Looking at my collection, I estimate I have purchased 5 or 6 ultra premium bibles only because your impressions. I have been watching the HIStory launch very carefully and it is clear that nobody wants to point out the flaws, which are many. Go back and look at Wildsmiths' review and evaluate his response. I see many people returning this edition upon delivery because Humble Lamb never disclosed the typos and errors, I would be very upset. There is a certain amount of Caveat emptor, that's why I passed on this one. I do have the Schuyler ESV Stridon on pre-order. Maybe I could blame Wildsmith for that one as well (just kidding). Peace be with you and your family. @@anickelsworthbiblereviews
One more thing, Steve Jobs is well known for that saying at his product launches. My last comment is that my wife says that I have no filter and speak my mind too much, I suspect that she is incorrect. :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not for that $$$ no way!
Then don’t buy a Stridon or a Treveris either.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviewsThe NASB 2020 Stridon has more severe issues in the body of the text. Some pretty bad misalignments. But I still like it anyway. I have the HIStory Bible too and still like it.
First edition Bibles.. new models of cars.. most first runs of new products have issues.
I hope God bless me with the KJV. The Bible too expensive for a book😒
There are a lot of very inexpensive KJV options.
