I completely agree with your cons, I was disappointed with the flimsiness of the covers. I'm not planning on this bible moving, and so it's staying at the desk. I love the margins because I love to be able to write questions and thoughts. This years Bible, 2022, is filled with post-it notes and extra notepaper; i'm looking forward to moving away from those and having everything right there.
I foolishly ordered one (csb in green) and used it for art worship and was so in love with it I decided I would love one for notes (pink niv) well I did 2 pages and that's all it just sits in a shelf this happened because of exactly what you said it's too bulky and flimsy 😁😁😁 just wanted to share
For certain people / set on a desk yes but its the font size that dont do it for me - my age even with glasses I want (need big fonts) if it had 9.5 / 10p font I could see it on my desk otherwise its a no go. Good honest review and looking forward to finding out your 2023 Bible ) thanks for the update ++
Yeah. The more I look back at the gospels and psalms versions, I feel like they could have backed the font down to a 10, and probably done it. What is wild is that they reset the whole Bible to do this one. If it's going to be a bit big, just make it a bit larger font. It would be significantly more usable.
Of course the thinner ones need a thicker cover to support the thinness of the book & the bigger one doesn’t b/c it has the thickest of the pages to support it. And are the fonts much smaller in the big one b/c it’s 66 books in it vs less in the thinner books ?
I have to share with you, I am so glad I discovered your channel. I enjoy your content so much. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for those kind words!!!

I'm just jealous your eyes can handle it!!!
@@revchadbrooks young eyes benefit I guess lol
Mine doesn’t move and I use it for Bible journaling only. I have a large print that goes with me to church and Bible study. I love it!
That's how you have to use this beast! I'm jealous of your eyesight.

I'm glad it isn't just me being picky. This thing is CHUNKY!!!
@@revchadbrooks oh I love chunky for a bible but this one is definitely extreme however it is a cool concept if certain things were addressed 😁😁😁
I think i would love this one! It doesn't have to move and I could use this one for a couple of years before its full😅

It's too bad about the font size! Hopefully many at seminary will benefit from this edition. Thank you for your review.

♥️♥️♥️
I purchased this and the font is so small its barely usable. They should have made the font at least 10 or 11 and made the bible taller to compensate.
When are you going to make a decision? Lol I'm sorry its almost new year I'm waiting for the final reveal
i like big margins and can not lie....? But those might be too much. Ew coils. Not a turkey buzzard, thats a full on mule deer.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
This is more a journaling Bible
Alas. I don't do NIV.
They make a CSB as well.
