I have one of the new Nelson Signature Series bibles... super soft leather and lays out good. Great bible.

Confession is good for the soul: 95% of my reading is on the computer as I can quickly bounce between over 30 different bibles and read their opinions of the same scripture. Ironically, when I do read from a regular bible it's from a generic one my Grandmother bought me from a door to door bible salesman that she paid $18.00 for when I first came into the Church. Its red and weighs about 1,580 pounds. :sshhh I never preached in a pulpit with it that I can remember (red isn't preacherfied) but its the one treasure that both my sons would want if I would give it up. It's come through serious car wrecks, tornados and hurricanes and it appears that the most damage has been done by tears and highlighters. I've used it from the day I came into the Church some 28 years ago... marked all up... few pages torn... but I'm still in love.

This isn't an inexpensive enterprise but an investment. I've ordered an ESV and will be getting one for my pastor.

For a review go here- www.jmarkbertrand.com/bibles/allans/index.htm
I purchased a RL Allan Bible last year. They are every bit as good as they are advertised to be. I ordered the Oxford Reference
Longprimer Edition (*53). It features Highland goatskin with overlapping (full yapp) covers, leather lined inside in dark blue, with dictionary of proper names, subject index and concordance. This all makes one very great Bible! It is glove-soft! The only issue I have is that the spacing between the lines of text is too tight. This makes reading it a bit difficult. Especially if you use it in a pulpit. I much prefer the Cambridge widemargin. The goatskin version is as soft as Allan's, though it is not leather lined.

Sis. Pressing-On,

When I saw you had lost your Bible I felt like praying that

you would find it. So, Lord, would You please let (allow, permit)

Sis. Pressing-On to find her Bible of 22 yrs., in Jesus Name!!!

Someone agree with me, in Jesus Name!

Blessings,

Bro. Steadfast,

I was so pleased when our eldest son took the money his dad and

I gave him for his June 4th birthday, and purchased a new Nelson

Signature Series Bible with super soft leather. He had us fill in the

to and from and the occasion, while sitting beside him at Texas District

Campmeeting this year. That is where I met you for the first time.

Blessings,

Falla39

We always give our high school graduates a Thompson chain.

I have bought 2-3 from WAP that have not impressed me, pages not "in line", pages appearing to pressed with a fold in them, quality not consistent.

So now I buy them from a local Bible book store.

I miss the 32 page insert, but feel much better about the quality. They can hear the important parts of the 32 page insert from their pastor.


That would be me.

Thank you, Bro. Ron!

Absolutely, she definitely needs her "trusty" sword. The one she

is accustomed to handling!!!
