Well Pleased 09 May, 2008 I am well pleased with my new Bible. It is just the right size to carry in your purse or to keep in the tote bag that you pack to work every day.

Enjoyable 05 August, 2008 I really like this Bible. After using it for a few months, it is now really pliable in my hands, it stays open well, but the pages remain firmly in place.
(I won't get into a debate about translations here because if you really want to see what it is like, you can look up this translation on a search engine and read it for free online to see if you would want to actually buy it in book form. I would recommend this for any Bible translation.)
As for the construction of this particular Bible, it is nice to the touch and also pretty. I like that they have put some beauty on the outside of Bibles now to match the beauty within.
I will say that the pages, while very thin, are quite sturdy for what they are. I know this because my four year old daughter decided one day that it would be great to write and draw pictures all over inside my Bible (luckily in pencil) and I had to go through and find all of her wonderful little markings and erase them. The text and the pages held up well, though I do admit I erased with great care just to be on the safe side. There were spots with deeper markings and those stood up well. Overall, it survived my daughter's creative spirit.
I also write notes in the margins on the pages to remember thoughts I had while reading and the pages handle it fine. I don't use pen just because I think that it would be too dark and would bleed through, but pencil is fine. Unless you want a really thick book, they couldn't really use paper much thicker than this, so it's great for the size it is. I can't vouch for the use of traditional highlighters, either, because I use a colored pencil form of highlighter so it won't bleed through. I am not sure these pages would be able to handle a wet highlighter. None of this really bothers me that much because I am more of a pencil person. Just something to consider if you prefer pens.
My only complaint is that they didn't put a closure of some sort on this. Being so short, the book is quite dense and thick due to the number of pages required to get all the text in. I have to be very careful when I pack it in a book bag or suitcase to be sure that it is not going to be bent or opened and crease the pages inside (a pet peeve of mine). Being able to secure it would have been a better idea, but it's still really nice.

Pocket Bibles 24 June, 2008 We ordered these pocket bibles for a graduation gift for seniors from high school and college. They were perfect for the occasion and much less cost than purchasing them locally. Shipping was also free. I recommend this company and this product highly. The magnetic fasteners are very nice. - Pastor Rick
