Perfect for carrying

NIV Thinline Bible, Black, Thumb-Indexed  -

Newly released from Zondervan is this New International Version thinline Bible in a black bonded leather.  Many times, a more compact version of the Bible has a print font that makes it  difficult to read but these 54 year old eyes had no problem reading this 9.4 font.  I also loved the fact that Jesus' words are in red, something that doesn't seem so common these days in newer Bible releases.  I would say my favorite part of this Bible edition is the thumb indexes for those harder to locate books.  The inside of the book is covered in a beautiful gray marbled paper and the edition contains two attached ribbon bookmarks for easily being able to pick up where you left off.

There aren't any "extras" in this edition except for a chart of weights and measurements in the back.  No maps.  No commentary.  No illustrations of any other sort.  However, this helps keep the Bible lightweight and perfect for carrying to church or vacation.  Leave the heavier study Bibles for home use.

Personally, I think this Bible is the perfect size.  I hope it comes in a variety of colors.  I do wish the cover were a bit sturdier but this edition is an excellent value for the price.  I did receive this edition free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to leave a positive review.
