Midweek: Review: KJV Large Print Center-Column Reference Bible

Okay, the title may be a mouthful, but with the exception of cross references, this Bible is fairly basic. And very pretty!

Thomas Nelson's Bible Bloggers Program has given me a complimentary copy of the KJV Large Print Center-Column Reference Bible in pink Leathersoft --yes, pink! I'm loving it!

This edition features Comfort Print, a pink satin bookmark, a presentation page, gilt-edged pages, and the words of Jesus in red. The binding is designed so that the Bible lays flat for easy study and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Each book of the Bible is accompanied by a brief introduction and there are more than 50,000 cross references located in the center column of each page. 

In the back matter is a list of the Miracles of Jesus, the Parables of Jesus, a One Year Reading Plan, a Concordance, and color maps. And that's it! There are no fancy commentaries or prayer prompts or essays, no spectacular artwork or harmony of the Gospels. With commentaries and dictionaries available all over the internet, why carry all of that around with you in your Bible? Maybe you're just looking for a "reader," an edition to spend some time simply reading the Word of God, one you keep stashed beside your favorite reading chair or in the map pocket of your SUV for those down-times in the school carline. Maybe you just want to read and listen for the Holy Spirit without the distraction of applications and archeological input. Or maybe you're looking for a Sunday driver --something to carry with you to church and midweek Bible study, while leaving the bulky study Bible at home. The KJV Large Print Center-Column Reference Bible is perfect! It would make a great gift, also! And in pink, it's just too cute!
