Lookin for more PREMIUM BIBLE REVIEWS --- ua-cam.com/play/PLUjJld9qhclrAnobuJF0e3cmpQgC9k9eg.html Looking for more Thinline Bible Reviews?? --- ua-cam.com/play/PLUjJld9qhclqNR0RuqmptMF70daThyjnF.html
I've tried out a number of premium Bibles including Schuyler, Allan, Zondervan, and I just keep coming back to this Bible. It's as close to perfect as you can get IMO: - portable, and can easily be held in one hand (this is key for longer reading) - large text - references are there, but out of the way so that you aren't distracted while reading (I am incredibly distracted by center column references even though I like the look) - it's not so fancy that you'd be afraid to take it to church
I am not in need of a Bible right now, but I still like watching these types of videos. Before I got my gigantic ESV Large Print Study (which I love) I really wanted a thinline. This would've been perfect if it had the short introduction to each book. Just a personal preference. I'm glad to see a larger print. I had a thinline at one time that I had to end donating because the print was too small. Sometimes with the printing the lines are too close together, as you had mentioned. Thanks for the review. Now that Christian bookstores are harder to find, it really does help people who are looking to buy a Bible.
I have this Bible in genuine leather that I got from Crossway. I originally bought the Trutone bit it had a defect and I contacted Crossway and they sent the genuine leather edition. It is such a nice Bible and the genuine leather is really nice. It's not top grain, but still it's really nice. As you said the words are a bit crammed closed together and the ribbons as it is on ALL Crossway Bibles are the best. I watched a couple videos on how to change the ribbons and I changed them with some ribbons I bought from Amazon as the ship to Jamaica. Lovely Bible. It is my hope to own a premium Bible some day and I really love the ESV Preaching Bible paragraph edition.
@@JD-xh3ex yeah. I know. I haven’t switched over all the way yet. I feel like when I preach and teach I need to be reading from a paper Bible. But it’s hard to not with all the opportunity.
Great question. Not everybody does. It just make the “lay flat” better usually and the Bible a little easier to physically manipulate. IMO. I like a good floppy Bible…but there definitely can be “too floppy” lol.
@@ClaimingChristianity I've seen people fold the floppy ones backward like a magazine. I get it from the practical stance. It's easier to hold one-handed, especially if you're a preacher. But I can't take seeing it!
@@ClaimingChristianity I suppose i was asking because if you are bringing a Bible to Church and you sit it in your lap and either take notes in the Bible or take notes on paper that rests on top of the Bible, then having a hard cover forces the pages to be level and easier to write on. I suppose then if one's cover selection could best be determined by what one wants the Bible to be resting upon while one is using it?
Yeah…really it’s a pretty individual preference. I know lots of folks who love hardbacks for just the reasons you mentioned. They also tend to “lay flat” more out of the box then some of their imitation leather counterparts. So like you said…it kinda depends on what your doing with it really.
I think that the ESV Diadem it’s much better than this one but even this Esv thinline is beautiful . I have the brown calf leather and the paper is very pleasant to the eyes when read the scriptures. It’s more like egg colour/ smooth yellow-ish . Beautiful review and blessings ❤❤❤
If you could only own one for personal reading and study, would you prefer this ESV thinline large print or the NKJV classic vbv? I'm trying to pick a good versatile bible as I can only afford to buy 1 at the moment. What would you recommend? 🙏
Oh man. That’s a hard one. I’m gonna say NJKV VBV cause I really like VBV and I teach and my church uses the NKJV. But that’s hard. I love my classic VBV NKJV. It’s a great Bible. Bigger the the ESV but it’s nice

This is the same Bible Truth for Life has for $35 right now. I just ordered one, but may order another.
I saw this!!! That’s a steal. I may buy a few to give away.
I got one! Phenomenal deal. What a generous ministry

Yeah. Premiums can be nice. But I agree. You gotta find the one that suits you.

Glad it was helpful!! I do live a good thinline ! Thanks for watching
What binding did you choose for your large print ESV Study Bible? I can choose between hard cover, leather and fake leather??? Thanks I’m advance.

I really like the look of the ESV thinline. That cover looks great!
Yeah. If I wasn’t an NjKV guy now. This or the CSB (rev in a few weeks) would be my daily driver for sure.
@@ClaimingChristianity - I just like the look of something that thin that is that readable. Could see it making a great EDC.
Yeah. I’m in the market for a thin line. I’m hoping the NJKV I have coming in December is nice
@@ClaimingChristianity - the thinest thinline I have seen is that splendid iPad Pro with Accordance. 😉
@@JD-xh3ex yeah. I know. I haven’t switched over all the way yet. I feel like when I preach and teach I need to be reading from a paper Bible. But it’s hard to not with all the opportunity.
I have a Crossway ESV thin line Bible portfolio style
How do you like it?
Great
Very nice! Crossway does good work.
Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Isn't this just a top grain Omega? Same layout or am I missing something?
It may be. I don’t have an omega so Im not positive. @beautate or @thefrischperspective may know
@@ClaimingChristianity After looking, it seems to be which is great. I love the Omega layout and some not so premium options would be awesome!
Yeah and I don’t think you can “always” get the Omega. I really like this Bible. Good option in my opinion.
Why do we want it to be floppier?
Great question. Not everybody does. It just make the “lay flat” better usually and the Bible a little easier to physically manipulate. IMO. I like a good floppy Bible…but there definitely can be “too floppy” lol.

Ha!! I get it. We all have our limits. Thanks for watching!!!

Great video! How thick is the Bible? Im guessing 1 1/2. Does it read easier or more comforithan the ESV Large Print Personal Size? Thank you so much.
It’s really just over an inch. Really pretty good size Bible. And easy to read, considering it’s a thin line.
Great video brother
Thank you my friend!! For the constant encouragement and support!!
I think that the ESV Diadem it’s much better than this one but even this Esv thinline is beautiful . I have the brown calf leather and the paper is very pleasant to the eyes when read the scriptures. It’s more like egg colour/ smooth yellow-ish . Beautiful review and blessings ❤❤❤
I've seen great reviews on the Diadem...I just haven't seen one in person. It looks great. Thanks for the comments and encouragement!

Oh man. That’s a hard one. I’m gonna say NJKV VBV cause I really like VBV and I teach and my church uses the NKJV.
But that’s hard. I love my classic VBV NKJV. It’s a great Bible. Bigger the the ESV but it’s nice
Evangelical Bible has this one for $105 and FedEx... if anyone is looking:)
Nice!! Thanks for the info!!
