NLT Compact Giant Print Bible, Filament Enabled (LeatherLike, Rose Metallic Peony, Red Letter)

Prepare for a lengthy read in 3.. 2..As someone born, baptized, and raised Catholic and in between that being exposed to Christianity and then years passing by before I reconnected with God I was incredibly intimidated and thoroughly confused about the Bible. It's use and the Scripture when read just didn't make sense to me. I then made the conscious decision to commit to studying and I landed on this (after trying another Tyndale Bible, a compact with small print). So happy I did!It's perfectly SMALL! iPhone 13 placed next to it for size reference. I would recommend it for those with vision issues as this is my replacement Bible from trying another Tyndale compact Bible. The other Bible, although just as pretty, the font was too small and after prolonged reading made me feel cross-eyed.Absolutely love the feel of this Bible. It's lightweight, perfect for my "grab 'n go" life. It's leathery texture cover with thin pages makes for a solidly built book with a lightweight nature and sports my fave flower, a peony, which really caters to the female essence of it. Let's not forget the beautiful two-tone rose gold color!The Filament app and it's features are perfect for me - someone that leans heavily on technology and often uses apps like Reminders, Calendar, & Notes - having this app as a study tool v. pen/paper is top tier. The 'Study' function in the app really brings clarity to the Scripture, more often than not shutting down my chatty thoughts when reading something that in today's day seems "off". It brings me back to realize the time and location of the occurrence and sometimes even explains other viewpoints of said passage. I really do enjoy the additional interpretations as it allows for further understanding and broadening of my own thought process. The other function of the app, 'Reflect' I don't use less, but appreciate it being there and 'See' I have been using after I finished reading a book yo make sure my understanding of it was thorough and sensible.I paired my Bible with Tabbies gold-edged mini tabs for easy book finding, IT'S PERFECT.My caveats with the Filament app is the inability to highlight, copy, and paste from the app. In order for me to do that I have to screenshot then use the scan from picture to text feature that iOS has in order to paste anything into my Notes app. Also truly believe that if the app was 'text free' enabled, where there was a section to annotate within the Filament app, it would make for a insanely powerful study/Bible journaling tool.It goes without saying that despite the suggestions above I am incredibly happy with this item, as already I feel ions ahead in understanding than I've ever experienced in the past. I def recommend!

This Bible is absolutely beautiful!The cover is a lovely rose gold with an embossed peony with shinier petals/leaves here and there; it reflects beautifully in the light. The peony continues over onto the spine. The cover is also very, very soft and feels great in the hand!The art gilding on the edge of the pages is rose gold rather than yellow gold; this is very aesthetically pleasing.The pages are quite smooth, and while they are thin, they do not feel fragile. I feel comfortable underlining/highlighting on the pages. This Bible also has line matching, so while there is some ghosting, it is not distracting from the Word.And oh! The font! Clear and large and lovely! This is the ONLY compact Bible I’ve ever owned that has a font big enough for me to read! I have very bad eyesight, so I always try to get large print or giant print Bibles, but they are always so big and heavy! This Bible is quite lightweight. It is the perfect size for my hand, and I can easily hold it while reading for long periods of time without my wrist tiring. The red letter portions are dark enough to easily read as well.You will not be disappointed with this Bible!UPDATE!Just a quick update to say that the Sooez corduroy pencil case is a PERFECT fit for this Bible! It not only fits the Bible with tabs, but also a small notebook, my Bible stickers and pens/highlighters. AND it comes in many colors. (This is the green). There is a small zip pocket “floating” in the middle that I cut out so I could fit my notebook, but the Bible fits perfectly WITH that small floating pocket too!This Bible is so small, I had a hard time finding a case that it wasn’t lost in, but this one is perfect!

Easy to hold and carry. Large Print is great, as so many small bibles have tiny print which may cause eye strain. Easy reading compared to other editions.Very attractive cover.

Easy to use and carry with my things while heading to work or traveling - it’s also pretty! Verse finder in the back of the Bible to find encouraging scripture is a great tool.

Perfect Bible for me, it meets every expectation I needed

This Bible makes it easy for me to understand God's word! I love it. This is really good for someone looking to dive into the Bible as a starter. Comes with a cool app that has lots of info and pics of maps and such!

This is a really nice Bible for the price, especially with the 11 point font in a compact!I took away one star because it was very time consuming to separate EVERY single page. They were all stuck together so tightly that I had to use a damp sponge to moisten my fingers in order to separate them.It's also very fat so it will take up a lot of room in a small purse.It's very nice, but it doesn't work for my arthritic wrists, hands, and fingers, even when rolling half of it back.It's too thick for my needs.
