    Well done on finding “the One” small Premium Bible for you Tim! I love the SC text and the references in the inner margins. 👍 For me, I’d want maps in the back and for it to be NIV. 👏 But love that edition!

    It was your video that made me pick the esv reference bible it was nice and I still use despite reading more CSB at my church, I really like the red dying and the three ribbons and all the stitching and rebinding. Excellent find! The single column reminds me of like kindle or a regular book and I almost ignore the verse numbers letting me focus on the message which I love about my esv reference single column bible like the one you showed

    What a great video! Thanks Tim. ❤ I’ve got this Bible in the original deep brown calfskin. Still in its box with the Pledge Card in it. When you first mentioned it, I paused the video, jumped up and went to find my beautiful Bible. It is absolutely lovely. It even still has that great leather smell. However, font is a little small so I prefer my ESV Clarion goatskin for readability but certainly it’s one to keep. Thanks again. 😊🙏🇦🇺

    It’s absolutely gorgeous!! I eventually want to rebind “the one” also. It’s such a great idea! Til then, I will enjoy my Schuyler. I still want to get the Trevaris, it might be “the one”! I’m older, so I need the larger font!
    I’m very happy for you!! 😊

    I am a pastor. I am also a collector of Bibles. I probably have in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 Bibles… Literally and I have never found a Bible that has everything that I want in it.
    And I don’t think what I want is unreasonable… But I’ve never found one. That’s why I have 40 or 50. I guess ….the search continues.

    I am still on the hunt for my favorite Bible.😁 I found a new one and it's not expensive, only $50, but it's a purple KJV and a 10pnt font by Tindale. The best thing is that it's verse by verse, so memorizing verses will be easier, words of Jesus in red, and the references are tiny and to one corner. Also, it's simple but it has the concordance on back.
    I know my perfect Bible will come one day.😁

    This Bible was also the one that sent me into the world of premium bibles. My first one was purchased in 2016 in the Buffalo-style Cowhide from Crossway. It was my immediate favorite and every day carry Bible. I preached, did ministry, personal study and family devos with it. I would also take it to work with me (I'm a bi-vocational church-plant pastor). For six years it was "the one". But, as you pointed out, the font size is a bit small and the line spacing a bit too tight and what my 37 year old eyes found acceptable, my 42 year old eyes started to balk at. I had to retire it because of that and presently I have settled on the PSQ as its replacement, though I don't use it hardly as much as I also prefer single column reference bibles and in the "personal" size footprint. Presently, my go-to is the Allan ESV NC1 due to it's fantastic layout and thinner size. If Jongbloed would take the Crossway personal single column, and update and reformat for the aging eyes, I would throw Allan more of my money for one of their Charfleet bindings. Thank you for the reveal! It was fun to watch.

    Now that you mention this, I have two small King James Version Bibles! One of
    them is a Scofield Study Bible, and the other one is a plain ordinary Bible which
    is small enough to fit (with difficulty) into a shirt pocket, but its fine print is easy
    enough to read! I now live in those parts where the King James Version rules,
    and I therefore decided to join the club!

    I really enjoy your channel and would love to know if you are aware of an NASB reference bible that is thumb indexed, wide margined, and red letter - ideally with their comfort print and which is around 9” tall and 6.5 “ wide. Either the 1995 or 2020 text would be fine. Now that would be my ideal Bible. I have been searching for months and months with no success. Thanks for all the research you do on our behalf, and your presentations are very professional. God Bless.

    Your website needs the ability to search through all your reviewed bibles for specific features. Checkboxes for font sizes, leather/leathertouch, red letter/black letter/blue letter (my fav), translation version, year of (like NASBs different ones), block type, single/double column, reference, concordance, study, etc. Would be awesome to see what filters out from your long list of reviewed items.

    Hi Tim, I was hoping you could help me with finding a particular Bible. My mom wants something a bit easier to read, like the NLT, but she also needs thicker pages. Right now her big gripe is thin pages that are hard to turn. Her eyesight is good, so font size isn't really a problem. But we need thicker pages, 36 gsm is good. She doesn't want a journaling Bible like the Inspire and wants verse numbers unlike Immerse. It doesn't look like any of the standard offerings by Tyndale fit the bill...maybe a hardcover "pew Bible" style? If you have any recommendations please let me know. Thank you.

    I wish I could find a Bible that would work for my needs. I'm disabled and have arthritis in every joint in my body, including my wrists, hands, and fingers.
    I need a a Bible that I can carry in my bag AND hold in my hands that is thin, small, lightweight (1 1/2 lbs or less) large print (10 -12 point) Bible with black letter text.
    The text color matters because red is really hard on my eyes.
    The thickness, weight, and size matter because of the pain and stiffness in my hands.
    It's getting more and more difficult for me to use a Bible durring church services. It's been a long, frustrating search.
    If anyone knows of a Bible in the CSB translation please comment with the ISBN-13, it would much appreciated.
    Thanks Tim for all of your hard work, I love your reviews!
