This bible is the best I have had to read and to research at our bible study groups. At 83 you need something you can read when asked to read passages. I have used mine for a year and wouldn't trade for any others that I have seen.

Awesome Bible! Really surprised at the text large size + apocrypha. Put my own rainbow index tabs and a lovely stretch book sox and I am ready for study. Room in margins for notes, a nice square shape, perfect for my needs. The price complements the features and makes it an all around great buying pleasure..Thanks for this one CBD!

I like it. I bought this for the Apocrypha. I actually really like the extra large print on this. Its great for notes in the margin as well.

I was surprised at the width of the book. It may be a bit bulky for an older person to read for a long period of time. I was disappointed that there were no maps to help one locate the many towns and villages mentioned in the Bible.
