    Man I can’t wait to have the money to get the Bible I want and to start collecting altogether. I’m asking God to keep me diligent in sowing my finances into things that align with his purpose for my life. Getting better at giving back whats already his in my tithes and offering is getting better. He has blessed me more than I could ever return. If you all could pray for me that’ll be a blessing as I pray for all believers and unbelievers alike.

    Thanks you, Tim for sharing your NKJV recommendations. As someone who grew up wth the KJV Bible, the NKJV is a natural.

    Thank you Sir. I'm shopping for a NKJV. My nasb is falling apart. Most of the people in the places I'm preaching in have nkjv so I'm switching. In shopping around I've become very interested in collecting different ones that I like. I would have never thought of collecting Bibles, but it seems to be a fun thing to do for me. I think you can relate. Thank you!

    Thanks Tim for sharing you favorite NKJv Bibles. Great review. I too love the NKJV Bible. I was a big NASB for years but my wife encouraged me to read a NKJV Bible and that is all she wrote after that! I still love the NASB but my favorite and go-to Bible is the NKJV.

    I bought the NKJV SCR after you talking about it and it has been such a blessing. While it has been my favorite premium Bible, I don’t think anything will ever replace my Genuine Leather ESV Study Bible. I have actually messaged ICA about getting it rebound! Hoping to do it soon!

    Fabulous video! 😊😀 Thanks Tim. I’ve got 3 of your top 5 including your No 1 in the navy goatskin - agree it’s great though it has not replaced the SCR brown goatskin for me. The NKJV is my fav translation (together with the NASB 77). Looking at that first Allan bible shows how todays bibles are so much more readable and better laid out. My dream would be a tour of Philip Nation’s library! 😂

  • @AmericanShia786
    @AmericanShia786 Год назад +2

    I was 22 in 1982 when the NKJV Bible translation was released. It and the NASB 77 weren't favorite modern bible translations, back in the day.
    Necessity led me to use the ESV instead of the NASB 77, so I use the ESV and NKJV translations together.
    I have a premium cover KJV and ESV, but not the NKJV. Thanks for giving me a few options to choose from.
    I prefer using notebooks to writing in my bibles, so the wide margin bibles don't grab me. But, I think most people would use a wide margin bible.

  • @ddr5138
    @ddr5138 Год назад +1

    All of these look wonderful, but I'm very happy with my NKJV single column reference in black goatskin. I don't think I'll ever need another if this one holds out, although it's probably not optimal for preaching or teaching. The size though is just perfect. I'm going to have to donate some of the Bibles I've accumulated over the years to missions.

    I just received the green goatskin limited edition you mentioned, and I love it! It feels great in the hands, and the text/layout is easy on the eyes. It does have a good weight to it compared to another thinline I have, something to consider if portability is your goal. For me this is a perfect daily reader.

  • @bk24708
    @bk24708 Год назад +2

    ​Ironically, Last Week I bought NKJV Thomas Nelson Single Column Reference Bible and the Large Print ThinLine Reference Bible from EV Bibles. Mostly because it's got thicker paper than others.​ I also have the Humble Lamb Sheppard (Which I saw they have another release of them coming), That is my personal favorite, the text block is unbeatable and the text doesn't go into the gutter.

    I love the NKJV and have the brown goatskin SCR and the blue paste down Humble Lamb. I also have the Holman, but in the tan leathertouch. Yesterday, I received the large print thinline reference in green goatskin. Would love the blue (my favourite colour) but difficult to get now as it was limited edition and quite expensive now here in the UK.

  • @TimWismer
    @TimWismer 8 дней назад

    I purchased a Thomas Nelson single column reference Bible. The leather was amazing. The layout was nice, and the paper was quite opaque.
    Two problems, though: 1) The font was listed as 10.5, but seemed more like 9.5 -- 10.0 at best. I've read other people complaining about Thomas Nelson font being smaller than advertised. And I have another older Thomas Nelson comfort print 10.5 font which is definitely bigger than the SCR. 2) The paper is reflective under light. I can't say it's more reflective than most Bibles, but it was notably reflective under a reading lamp at night compared to the premium Bibles I already have. This may not bother some people, but was a deal-breaker for me because it created reading fatigue.

    I’m glad your #5 and #1 made it! I started with the #5 layout as a B&H thinline and a (now out of print) Thomas Nelson wide margin. And honestly, I think it’s still my favorite NKJV layout. It was actually a Thomas Nelson layout that they licensed to B&H, and then on to Allan. I tried replacing it with your #1 layout, the brown “Omega killer,” but I found it too heavy so I actually just gave it away. Thanks for sharing! ✌️🤓

    I am a pastor. I preach using a NKJV. My wife recently got me a new Bible and I really like it.
    But I have never found a Bible that checks every box that I want. There’s always something lacking! I would pay premium price to find one exactly the way I like it but the Bible I have now is extremely nice and I’m not complaining, but the Bible I have Does not have the words of Christ in red and I like that… (I don’t need that) I know when it’s Christ speaking, but it’s still something that I like. Like I said there’s always something.

      Have you checked out the Thomas Nelson limited edition in the green goatskin? It’s the next on my list to get. I have the TN wide margin verse by verse and love it! The green one is a more portable version of the same & yes! both are red letter. (I prefer that too 😉).

  • @gastie1

Recently, I purchased the Thomas Nelson NKJV Personal Size Large Print Reference Bible with end-of-verse cross references and 10.5 Comfort Print font after seeing its review on Tim Nichols' channel. I bought the inexpensive dark blue leathersoft version, so it is the cheapest Bible I have ever purchased. Ironically, it has become my favorite NKJV. Go figure. Thomas Nelson has really been hitting it out of the park these last few years.

    The bible is a book written by men who never even met the people they wrote about (many many years after). It is also heavily edited by a church that had a power and politics agenda, eliminating a number of chapters. In addition, there isn't just one Christian bible - there are at least three with different numbers of chapters. There exists no provable, fact-based evidence to support any of the supernatural (spiritual) events in it. Thus, it is pure human belief - a human emotion and dependent on as many human thoughts as there are humans. To believe without factual evidence is like saying a court case should be determined by only hearsay or a feeling. It's hard to think God wouldn't hold humans to a standard that they hold themselves
