Easy to read and to recite the Holy Bible
I have ordered several of these and I believe that they are good value for money, even as backup versions of your own Holy Bibles, or as gifts for others. Amazon search results can show different translations and versions, so it is worth checking what is on offer. Even so, the larger print versions of the Holy Bible are easy to read and to study. I like the front cover of the Thomas Nelson paperbacks, yet other versions are worth considering as well. Thanks to Amazon, I can visit now and then to see if there are more in stock.How Many Bibles Did You Share?I do not know about you, but here is our golden opportunity to get what is currently available and to save the web pages as bookmarks, or view our history of purchases, or use the Buy Again option.

Well presented, readable and understandable Bible
I ordered this New King James Version (NKJV) after finishing an Alpha course and this version being recommended by a family member who considers the King James Version (KJV) as the standard against which to measure all other translations (which is a fallacy by the way).Other reviewers have already covered most of the features of this Bible and the font size is definitely the best feature. The two column layout means that the reading flow is a bit trickier and it can be harder to spot things like quote marks and who the speaker is. The chapter heading are helpful as are the plentiful explanations of the background to the Bible and each book in it. The English is American spelling but who cares?Translation: it follows the KJV and because it uses modern (well 20th century) references, grammar and terms, and so the meaning is far more obvious. It sits comfortably alongside many other modern translations and is considered to be the closest to the KJV itself. Now many ill-informed conservative-minded people rail against translations that use more modern language and terms that differ from the KJV saying they are "inaccurate" and they lack the poetic beauty (or similar points). That whole argument is a falsehood. Why? Because the KJV translation simply translated into the contemporary English usage of the time. Many words, phrases and much grammar from that time is simply no longer used today and not recognisable in current times. This introduces a barrier to understanding which defeats the purpose of the book entirely. Also, being "poetic" might appeal to some, but that was incidental rather than a created intention. The actual intention was to communicate not create word art. It So why not remove these barriers and get this version so you can understand the word of God more readily? I highly recommend it. Other recommended versions are the Revised English Bible (REB) and the New International Version (NIV) both which also have functionally equivalent translation but which use some different wording & grammar to convey the same or similar meaning.

Really is Deluxe and Comfort Print
This is for "NKJV, Deluxe Reference Bible, Center-Column Giant Print, Imitation Leather, Brown, Red Letter Edition, Comfort Print Imitation Leather – Large Print, 7 Dec. 2018, by Thomas Nelson"I tried the Holman's Giant Print Reference version first, with end of paragraph references, but I found the typeface and layout most disturbing to my eyes, and returned it immediately.This Thomas Nelson one is lovely, though I've dropped one star for being centre-column reference rather than end of paragraph. For some people that might be a plus, but it causes the columns each side of it to be narrower, which I don't like.I'm not really sure what difference there is between this "Deluxe" version, and the standard. Even on the Thomas Nelson website the difference isn't stated, though the deluxe rrp is $10 more. Here on Amazon, this deluxe version was the lowest price of all. Apparently this deluxe version is available in the "Mahogany Leathersoft" (Brown), which I bought, "Burgundy Leathersoft", with a gold decal pattern on the front, or "Black Leathersoft", with "Holy Bible" printed on the front. This brown, Mahogany leathersoft, has a lovely, almost "suede" leather feel. From youtube reviews of the other two, they appear to be more shiny.The Comfort Print typeface is lovely, (though not hugely different from the "Classic" version that preceded it.)
