Overall it is a quality product. Not cheap to the feel but worthy of using in ministry. I bought this for my son-in-law for his birthday. He feels led to ministry...as we all should...but more so as a pastor. Whether it be in a lead capacity or associate. Great find!

Overall this a great bible for many different reasons. Its great because of the pastoral resources in the back. The New International Version is always an easy to read translation unlike other biblical translations and this bible comes with two ribbons markers. The leather bible is also very nice. Not to thick, but not to thin either.
However, I do want to be perfectly honest. This bible is slightly heavy. If your looking for a portable bible than this is not the one for you. Lugging this around can get tiresome trust me.
Another personal thing I have against this bible is that I feel that every bible should state Holy Bible on the front cover. This makes it identifiable to believers and nonbelievers alike.

Though the resources are good, and the layout is good, the quality leave much to be desired. After owning this bible for 6 years, and looking after it, the binding strated to come apart. I had it repaired, only for the binding to come apart even further less than a year later. It is now only a matter of time before the entire bible falls apart. I am very disappointed with such poor quality in terms of the binding.

This Bible is an excellent ministry tool, the quality of the product is very good, the size is right, and the ministry resources have some good ideas, would be especially helpful to someone new to ministry.

Great resource for pastors, elders, deacons, or lay ministers. Nearly everything you need in one handy volume. Nice leather cover and very readable print. Quality at an affordable price. Makes a wonderful gift!

The NIV Minister's Bible is better than I've expected. The binding is perfect, the size appropriate and the resources useful.

This is an amazing Bible for pastors. It combines the Holy Word of God with some amazing resources. The concordance is rich and full and the maps are beautiful. It has s section for events Pastors lead and gives great insights, check lists, scriptures and order of services. It includes many other writings that will help any pastor help Bible understand life and its questions and circumstances from a Biblical perspective. I've already had one of my students use my Bible and come across this section and he was able to take from it something a friend of his was struggling with and he was able to help minister and reach out to his friend who then gave His life to Christ and we are using the discipleship resources in this Bible to help my student disciple his friend.
