Oh my gosh. Tim, you have came a long way!
Hahahaha... thanks!
I got this bible yesterday I was surprised of how significantly smaller the whole bible was compared to my personal size large print. It's the perfect compact reader imo.
Nice! I’m glad you like it!
Your hair!!!!❤❤❤
Looks like a tremendous Bible. Some have said they don’t like the thin paper, however the trade off with thicker paper is a thicker Bible. I think crossway did a good job to find the balance to create a personal size Bible, while not making the paper too thin. I own a ESV thinline heirloom printed in Netherlands and that paper is more thin than this I believe, and I love that old burgundy heirloom and I’ve had it for years.
I appreciate the honest review - important to remember that there is no perfect Bible, but there is the perfect Savior who we read about in the Bible.
Agreed. I like this one the more I use it.
@@timwildsmith Something else I really appreciate is all the poetry in one column… That is a huge win for the single column. When font size and spacing is good on narrative, epistle, etc. then single over double for me, double is nice for familiarity and historical reminiscing however.
@@robbie1064 Yes, there's a lot I like about single columns. When done well, it's my preference.
I would love that Bible as my first premium I love ESV and love the size
So cool to be holding this very bible in my hands now. Thanks again Tim!
My pleasure, Vaughn!! So glad you won the giveaway!!
People knock the Chinese premium Crossways, but I think they’re nice! I know the Jongbloed ones are held highly, but I feel that the Chinese ones are just a different type of awesome. Plus, my experience with the Chinese paper has been better than the paper from the various Jongbloed Crossways I’ve had over the years; no curling, while all the Jongbloed ones I’ve had curl right out of the box!
I hear you. I think the last Chinese heirloom (VbV preaching Bible) was fantastic. That said, did you know that they are moving productions of the heirlooms back to the Netherlands? First batch due this fall.
Just got one in for my son and I agree that the format is very good, but sadly that was about it. I have to back up JazzMonk here- the paper REALLY is THAT BAD for ANY bible. Also want to note the smell. The one I received smells really bad like dye and chemicals not hand crafted leather. If you are on the fence, I would recommend passing at this point.
This is only $67 on Christian book right now marked down from 229
Never saw this one. Great first review
Thanks! I’ve come a long way!
Hey Tim, I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel! Loved your review! I currently own the ESV Premium Thinline in Goatskin black. It's a double column Bible but I was thinking of saving up and getting a single column Bible, and I think your review might have just convinced me to purchase this one! You're right, it's such a beautiful Bible! God Bless! *subscribed*
Thank you! My main goal here is to help people find a Bible they will love, so I'm glad this was helpful!
Good review. Thanks!
Thanks, Forest! More coming soon!
Brother Tim, I appreciate the work that you put into this video review, but, respectfully, I disagree with your review. The ESV Single Column Personal Size Heirloom is not Heirloom quality. The paper in Thomas Nelson/Zondervan non-Premier editions (also China produced) and have better paper than the ESV Personal Size Heirloom. And one could pick one up for about $40-$50.00. The ESV Single Column Personal Size Heirloom is no more than a $20.00 dollar edition in a pretty wrapper .
JazzMonk do you mean since they’ve started printing in China - is not as high quality? I’m about to purchase so would love your opinion please - or your suggestions. I was thinking this same one but in the normal size as well. Or do you think the PSQ one he was talking about? Thanks :)
Stephanie de Oliveira Yes, the quality has drastically fallen with China produced Heirloom editions. The paper in the ESV Single Column Personal Size Heirloom edition is absolutely terrible! No, I’m not exaggerating, it’s like trace paper! Not to mention other binding issues which all said mentioned issues should not exist when you’re buying a premium edition of Scripture. Trust me... STAY AWAY from this edition because all you’re buying is a pretty goatskin cover! You would be better off purchasing ESV Single Column Personal Size TruTone edition-the paper is surprisingly better! Another option would be the ESV Single Column Thineline, the paper really isn’t any better, but it is single column format, and you can also pick up the genuine leather edition for about $40.00. Another option would be the ESV Personal Size Reference, oddly, the paper has always been good. The only drawback is the smaller font, but it is very readable, and the text is littered with cross references. Hopefully this helps.
Printing in China is not the issue Thomas Nelson has proved that. Crossway are choosing the paper and materials and how it is constructed all they are doing in China is putting it together.
I wish they had the gutter reference column like they do in the crossway cheap one (which is also lines matched for $20). The font size is the same I think as this premium one.
I hear you. Cross references are nice to have, but I think they chose to keep it really clean and open for the sake of easy reading.
@@timwildsmith The font size of the cheap one is actually font size 8. I was wrong. Your premium one (says 9 font) at evangelicalbible.com. Thanks for the video. I'm still searching for the one. Thanks for the video.
@@timwildsmith One question if you would be so kind (last one); I hear complaining about ghosting. But if it's like the Crossway single column personal size reference Bible, or even the Schuyler Quintel, then I can't understand the complaining. Does the ghosting not matter to you because the line matching is done right?
@@Psalm144.1 I used it this morning during church, and the ghosting did not bother me. It's a little more noticeable than my Schuyler PSQ, but not much.
I think Crossway has been using line matching to get away with using inferior paper.
i dunno line matching is pretty standard now, I think they spent all the money on a guy who could Channel the spirit of yoda in the translation and now they are making up for it financially using truckstop toilet paper. Just my theory.
How does the paper fill compared to other Bibles?
Can’t decide if I should spring for this, or get one of the older true-tones from a few years back rebound in goatskin. The page layout between the two bibles is almost identical so it’s a tough call. I really love the overall look of this one, though, it’s just that I’ve heard some criticisms of its quality since it was printed in China. I have the single column heirloom legacy (printed in the Netherlands) and the leather is amazing. I can actually totally roll it back without damaging it. How does this one compare to the Netherlands printed bibles? Is it worth the money, or should I go for a rebind of the older edition?
I have the Legacy from Jongbloed as well. The goatskin on the new Personal Size I have is very rollable, but it has more texture than the Legacy. Still very nice.
Wow you seem to be the Bible expert. Lol thanks for your videos. I'm looking for a Bible for me and my 20 year old son.
I’ve got a little bit of experience 😉
I've read a lot of comment regarding this bible being bad because it's printed in china, but the price right now is pretty great. The ESV thinline top-grain is also a great price, what would you say is the best option? I know they are wildly different bibles, but it would mostly be a main reading bible. Not for studying or preaching.
Man does this come in double column?? If this was double column it’d literally be the perfect Bible for me.
Not that I know of, Alex... although Crossway makes MANY double column bibles, so you might want to search around on their website to see if anything strikes you.
Hi, thanks for the great vid, do you think you could compare the size of this to the heritage? Debating between tje two
Anyone have any opinion of this or a Pitt minion? Which one is better if you were buying just one Bible?
The marketing info on this says it is "just over 1" thick"...is that accurate? and how wide is the outer margin in the prose? Thanks, Tim!
Keith, it is closer to 1.5" thick. The margin is right at 0.5" wide.
@@timwildsmith Thanks, Tim. I'm enjoying your videos.
Nice! How do you compare the paper of this edition with the paper of your NLT pitt minion? Is it really thin? :)
Aldrin Teresa Great question! The thickness feels very similar to me. I don’t see specific details online, but I would guess that these are both somewhere around 28gsm. I see less “ghosting” in the Pitt Minion, but its pages are jammed pretty full with text.
@@timwildsmith Ok thanks for the reply. I've been thinking of purchasing the personal single column or a thomas nelson premier :)
How tight is the hinge on this? Does it snap shut or stay open on Genesis 1?
It's fairly stiff. It does not snap shut on Genesis 1, but it does not lay flat either.
I just can’t decide between this or a pitt minion. I have the 80th omega anniversary bible by cross way. So this would match perfectly, but I’ve never had a non reference, single column bible
I want a nice personal size bible to take around wherever I go by more so for reading rather than study but who knows the reference system is nice
Don't miss their new "Heritage" edition.
I can not find a premium ESV single column personal sized bible that isn’t printed in China. Very disappointing.
Check out the new ESV Heirloom Heritage. Basically this Bible, put printed in Europe. I just did a couple new videos on it.
@@timwildsmith sadly the ESV Heirloom Heritage is much taller than this personal size single column. if the Heritage was the exact same height as this id buy it instantly. the Heritage compares to the size of a crossway thinline. it really is hard to find a single column ESV Premium bible in this size nowadays :(
@@timwildsmith Thank you, I will
Hey, Tim. Choosing between this Bible and another you did a review on... How does this Bible compare to the ESV Preaching Bible, Verse-by-Verse Edition? Thanks!
This one is smaller and paragraph format.
If it was verse by verse it would be perfect.
👍🏼
would it be fair to say that this is even a smaller version of the ESV preaching Bible ?
They’re both single columns, but the layout is significantly different in several ways. I just reviewed the Preaching Bible last week if you want to take a closer look: ua-cam.com/video/TkDgm2HirXU/v-deo.html
Thanks for your review- I appreciate the clarity of explanation and pace of the review. I agree with you about this bible- for the price I can't complain about the quality. I mentioned a few other aspects I like about this bible on my channel. Check it out if you have a moment. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! I'll check it out.
Crossway tends to use thin paper, annoying it's this transparent at the price point.
