I love the NKJV and nothing beats the outstanding readable text of this pew Bible. I will admit I am entirely biased because this is the exact Bible I chose for myself many years ago when I first became a Christian. To me, the point of the Bible is to read it and it's difficult to do that when the text of so many Bibles is too little and tiny. I don't have any such problems with this text. I find the text large enough to read and the pages are smooth and the text is dark too. I have a case I put this Bible in so carry it around so it doesn't get beat up. I would 100% recommend this Bible if you want an NKJV that is readable. Especially for the price. There are many Bibles which are far less readable that cost much more money than this one, and I think the point is to read Scripture.

This Bible offered extra features that I wasn't expecting at this price! Yes the covers aren't thick and the pages are more like recycled newspapers...I was expecting that....but the footnotes, the 30 days with Jesus study guide, the miracles and parables of Jesus laid out nicely, the prophecies that were fulfilled listed easily, and at least 8 pages of a dictionary-concordance. There's also 2 blank pages for notes as well as 2 full color maps in the back cover! This was an incredible find.

Love my bible

The Bible is sooooo cute , the paper does rip kind of easily but overall it’s superrrr cute and cheap

At the $30 price point, this is an excellent bible. I discuss some key points below.First, the cover. The Leathersoft cover is soft and feels great in my hands. It seems to be much more durable than a bonded leather cover, which also tends to be stiff, shiny, and cheap looking. I would even say that the cover looks and feels much nicer than most genuine leather bibles I've owned. It's a little stiffer than a calfskin or goatskin cover, but I actually prefer that, so this is pretty much the perfect cover for a bible, IMO.The paper is excellent quality. It is just the right thickness and consistency. There is very little bleed, and with the line-matching, you don't really notice any unless you are looking for it. The paper thickness gives some heft to the bible, which is actually nice. Since it is God's word, I think it makes sense for it to feel heavy in my hands, as it contains very much weighty truth.The typeface and font size are perfect for my 50 something eyesight. The single column format makes it easy to read. I don't think the red superscripts are a problem, as others have mentioned, but I do understand how some people might not like them. The references and notes in the margin are small and could be hard to read for some people.The bible actually smells quite nice. I've seen others saying how it has a strange smell or an offensive smell, but I don't agree with that. We all experience odors differently, so some might find it unpleasant, but I actually think it is a nice combination of scents, from the cover to the paper to the ink.The NKJV text is the NKJV text. If you prefer a different translation, this is not the bible for you, so I'm not going to address that here. The cross references are pretty good, although, as usual, I find that some of them are incorrect, IMHO. Not a big deal, though. It's nice to have them as a quick reference to other passages that are or might be related.The concordance is a handy addition, but not comprehensive. Better some some concordances I've seen in reference bibles, though. The one-year reading plan is unnecessary, IMO, but whatever. The color maps are nice, but a little small, given the dimensions of the bible.Finally, the size of the bible is nice, but if there is one criticism I might make, it would be in this area. I think making the bible a little wider and thinner would be preferrable to making it narrower and thicker, as they have done. Not a deal breaker by any stretch of the imagination; just a preference for me. I'd like to see some more words on each page and it would also make the maps more functional. But like I said, no big deal.All-in-all, this is a great bible at a great price with really nice features. If you're looking for a full featured, large print, NKJV that will be with you for years to come, I think you've found your bible.

My Goodness. This is different from how I remember as a kid! While I was at first extremely comforted and overjoyed by the Book of Joseph, as I worked my way on, I was a little disturbed by all the smoting and smiting. This couldn't mean God was murdering people, could it? Maybe that word meant something else. I hoped. Well, in later pages, they simply explained that "and God killed him... " and then God killed for he displeased God" etc.O.oI got to a body count of about four, and I was like, "Hey, that's not cool, man." I was disappointed, and felt right back in my brimstone & hellfire church of my youth. Ahh, yes. THIS is why I stopped going. :( That and the whole creepy priests thing. Still, I always felt like me & The Big Guy had a lot of pretty good talks going on. I don't like to think of him as a smoter & smiter. If he WASSS, well, I have a list. seriously, though, couldn't he knock off some horrible child abusers/molesters and animal abusers? Why not? We could all give the BIg Guy a list every year/ Problem solved!).Anyhoo, so the book was started to be kind of a downer. But there were also some amazing inspiration quotes in Isaih. There were some beautiful Psalms.I think it's just been passed down and re-published and re-edited so many times by different people throught different political eras, that some parts of it have gotten a little strange. All of the sudden, it'll make lots of sense, but then you skip to the last page, which is RIDICULOUS:A lamb bride with a dress dipped in blood is the bride of Jesus? Then Jesus opens his mouth, which contains a sword, and slaughters all the sinners with his enormo sword mouth?:O WHAaaaaaaaa?The the big angel locks up all the sinners with her key to the hell pits for 1,000 years? Then she let everybody out for 1,000 years, and they they're going to let people out again. and if they don't repent fully, it's sword-mouth Jesus and bloody baby Lamb Bride time again, but like forever?Whaaaat the efffffff?That just sounds like something from a movie that 13 year-old boys go to, I'm sorry. The sword-mouth thing is really.... it's just for shock value, it's not really... helpful for killing as many people as possible, it'd be really physical awkard. It's just there to look cool.Oh and they fight a mighty seven-head sea beast (the devil) too. (I'd heard that part before).When I read this, I felt how Scientologists probably feel when they read that Xenu SH*&t. I told my mom and she was like WHAT THE MIGHTY F*&()(??????? Did they change it? She'd never heard this version.And then heaven was all made of all these solid gemstone walls. This confused me, since Jesus was so pissed at the moneychangers in the temple and their elaborate gems in their temple. So he goes and builds a heavenly church of gems????????So, I liked all of the Bible except the last part, which seems something that a man consumed with violence and greed wrote. Also it just seems like weirndness and BS.I mean Jesus as a swordmouth killer with a bloodsheep bride? whaaattt????I'll just forget the ending and stick to the comforting scriptures. I think at certain parts of the Bible, certain authors put in their own bloodlust battle tendencies, and others wrote the scriptures. Really an uneven tome.

Very nice and good size bible

The quality of this used-like new bible was exceptional! I had been looking for this exact one forever. Thank you!
