"Pretty good translation. This updated edition seemed to flow a little easier. Wasn't as clunky, especially with the more poetic portions of the Scriptures. The biggest problem I had with it was that any highlighting I did would always bleed through the page."
"OK, I know it may seem trite to put the Bible in among the books I'm currently reading, but there have been some significant changes in my life that compelled me to add it. First I lost my dad on 9/4/09, and love, prayer, and the Bible are what held me together during that time. Also, as I've been talking with my therapist in the past couple months, I've had a tremendous breakthrough with my depression, anxiety, agoraphobia...you name it...and it's all because I've been speaking aloud and rebuking whatever it is that is attacking me with Scripture. Plus, how can you NOT love a Love Letter from God?"
Description The In Touch Ministries Wide Margin Edition is especially designed for taking notes with a 1" margin around the top, bottom and outside edges.
About the Binding & Cover This elegant Bible is handcrafted from high quality black Calfskin leather. The Leather has rich color tone, well defined grain, and is soft to the touch, Calfskin leather is particularly valuable because of its softness, flexibly, and fine grain. This edition is amazingly flexibly, when you hold this Bible it literally "fits your hand like a glove". The reinforced spine of this Bible adds to its durability. This edition lays flat while your reading because of its high quality Smythe sewn binding. Smythe sewn binding is considered the highest quality binding, the pages are sewn and glued to the spine of the Bible. The benefits are a long lasting Bible that can be read and reread for years without falling apart. Books with Smythe sewn binding will stand up to more abuse than regular glued binding, and can be read on a flat surface. For these reasons many textbooks, picture books and Bibles that are designed to stand the tests of time use Smythe sewn binding. Smythe sewn book printing and binding gets its name from its inventor, an Irish-American named David McConnell Smythe (1833-1807). A pioneer of modern day bookbinding, Smythe took a bold leap forward over the centuries old methods of binding by producing the first technology and methods for sewing book pages to the spine to create a book of superior quality and appearance. Smythe-sewn Bibles are durable, but they may be heavier and less flexible than glued Bibles. That said if you want the best, then you want Smythe sewn binding. Trim Size: 6 1/2 x 9 1/4 x 1 5/8

About this Translation The translation used in this edition is the Updated New American Standard Version The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. The American Standard Version was a reversion of the King James Version. Many view the New American Standard Bible as one of the most literal translations of the 20th-century. Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely embraced by many as "the most literally accurate English translation" from the original languages This compact Bible contains the updated New American Standard Bible. In 1995, the Lockman Foundation reissued the NASB text as the NASB Updated Edition (or more often known, the Updated NASB or NASB95). Since then, it has become known simply as the "NASB" and has supplanted the 1971 text in most current printings (although the Thompson Chain Reference Bibles, the Open Bibles, and the Key Word Study Bibles still use the 1977 text for their NASB editions).
My Personal Opinion The flexibility of this Bible is simply amazing, I've never held a Bible this flexible. Another aspect of this edition that I'm impressed with is the quality of the calfskin cover, not only is the cover the beautiful, its a pleasure to hold. The paper is much thicker than regular Bible paper any one who takes notes will appreciate this aspect.This edition lays flat while your reading which is something else to be appreciated. The only thing that could possibly be improved upon would be to give more writing space on the inside edge of the pages. This Bible is one of the best that I have had the opportunity to review, I'm very impressed with the quality of this edition."
