Ever thought the Bible could read like a novel? Now that the easy-to-read New Century Version translation is available in a single column text setting, don't be surprised if you find yourself reading page after page of the stories in the Bible - stories of grace & hope, love & war, and mystery & redemption. Available in both hardcover and unique alligator-like bonded leather, this is a wonderfully fresh approach to reading the Bible!

Really Nice

Customer Rating:

This beautiful brown binding is alligator-like. The compact size fits perfectly in your bag. Fits in your hand nicely and it's just an all-around nice bible for reading. The single column format makes it nice for reading like a book, and the verses are clearly marked. I did not give it 5 stars because of the size of the text. It is suppose to be a pt 10 but I think it is an 8.5 or somewhere close to that. Regardless, I still love it and recommend it.

Not quite what I expected...

The first thing I noticed about this bible is that the picture Amazon shows is for the box that it comes in. The bible itself is smaller than most "standard" sized bibles. This one is smaller than the dimensions of a DVD case (height and length) the width is obviously thicker. It is probably more like the size of a diary. This bible has no printing on the front cover like the box would lead you to believe. The print is smaller than most of the bibles I have so that was something else I was surprised at. I love the translation! It is a much easier bible to read that way. I got hooked on this translation after reading a biblezine (which is another great product). Overall, I'm happy I purchased the bible. Use my observations to make up your mind whether or not purchase this bible. Personally, I couldn't find this at my local bookstores so I kind of bought this on a gamble. I'm still satisfied with it, it just isn't what I expected.
