• Well Written 19 November, 2006
Giving you a brief rundown of where I stand, I think the "Good News" is the best for beginners. I have respect for the original "King James," but even the Anglican Church will say that it is not the most accurate version. I like the "Living" version, but I would only suggest that version if you are well grounded in your faith, and already have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bible and why the different books were written. I have respect for the "New American" version, but it's not my favorite. The "Jerusalem" demonstrates really impressive scholarship. The Bible I use most myself is the original "Revised Standard." The only version I really don't like is the "New International Version." That brings us to the subject at hand. Like the "Revised Standard," the "New King James" is derived from the original "King James." While I don't feel the "New King James" is as accurate as the "Revised Standard," the "New King James" is well written. To a surprising extent, the "New King James" maintains the poetic beauty of the original "King James" while at the same time updating the language. One particular thing this version corrects is that in the original "King James," Isaiah and Elijah have different names in the New Testament. Isaiah becomes Esaias, and Elijah becomes Elias. The "New King James" keeps the names of Isaiah and Elijah the same throughout. My only real complaint is that in this version, Satan is referred to as the 'God of this age' in Paul's 2nd letter to the Corinthians while the more accurate "Revised Standard" refers to him as the 'God of this world.' I'll conclude by saying that while I don't use the "New King James" as much as the "Revised Standard," the "New King James" is still a great version.

• It Was What I Was Looking For 23 October, 2005
sup everyone, yeah this bible was what i was looking for so it helped me out alot. ummm its small enough to fit in my cargo pocket {military uniform} yet big enough to still enjoy. now the snap flap does get in the way sometime when your studying like going back and forth through the book but other then that its straight. i like the snap though cause it protects the pages from like bending and getting torn you know. the pages are thin though so yeah, but im not complaining. still, really great book, deserves 5 stars.

• My Personal Favorite! 04 January, 2008
I love this bible. It was a gift to me, used, still in great condition. I have had it for 7 years, written in it, circled, underlined and put sticky notes in it. The cover started getting a little ratty from being in my bag so I did what any good american would do. I duct taped it. When I buy gift bibles for people, this is the one I buy most. It is compact and sturdy. And as for my well used book, I do not want a replacement. I love it just the way it is.

• You Get What You Pay For 31 December, 2004
I've gone through two of these Bibles (one with a snap flap, the other without) in 6 years. They last about 3 years each. The bonded leather cover simply does not last, even under optimal conditions. It breaks down and bleeds if it gets even slightly damp, cracks after flexing repeatedly (especially the snap flap version) and generally falls apart.
This is unfortunate, because the text itself is very well done. The pages are durable, don't stick together, and clearly readable. There's a useful concordance in the back, as well as references and indexed maps.
I am aware that this Bible is available in hardcover as well, and would recommend that you buy that instead if you want this edition at all. Anything will last longer than the leather bound version.
Instead of this edition, I would recommend an alternative. The Pocket Concord Reference Bible (Cambridge University Press, only KJV as far as I know) is of massively superior workmanship. If you want a small Bible, get that one instead.

• Just The Right Size! 09 September, 2005
I needed a copy of the NKJV and this one fit the bill. It is the perfect size. It fits in my purse and I can take it with me anywhere!
