SO BEAUTIFUL AND PRACTICAL

I keep this copy in my car for a quick read before going into work or when I want to check a verse really quickly. Cute, compact. No complaints.

Great color amazing for the family

Beautiful cover. This could be used as decor. Super cute gift idea too

Beautiful. Got this as a gift and I want one for myself

Very cute fits in my purse but the letters are soo small.

For only $12, this is a very nice little Bible. Feels solid but flexible and looks quite elegant. The Bible is not quite "pocket-sized", but it's smaller than standard-size Bibles, lightweight and easy to carry. "Handy" is an accurate description I suppose since it is about the length of my hand. I have an actual pocket size KJV Bible that could squeeze into my jeans pocket, but the text is so small that I need to strain my eyes to read it in my 20s with good eyesight. This mini in-between-size version is for me readable but text is still on the small size, so if you have difficulties reading small print it may not be the best choice. As for the translation, of course the King James Version translation of the Bible needs no introduction to anyone in the English-speaking world, the Authorized Version of the Bible in England translated under King James I in 1611 and largely unchanged in content to the present day, complete with "thees" and "thous". For some the language may be archaic and difficult to understand, maybe not the best choice for studying the Bible itself lest you need to waste time deciphering the English first, but it is also one of the most poetic and beautiful renderings of the Bible in the English language. Although I am a Catholic, like nearly every native Anglophone many of the most familiar Bible verses I've grown up to immediately recognize are from the KJV. This edition is fairly barebones, presumably to keep it small and cheap, there are no footnotes nor cross-references. The back of the book does have a 12-page "Verse Finder" listing a few verses each under subjects like "Courage", "Employment", "Depressed", "Stressed" and a 4 page "One-Year Reading Plan" with a suggested schedule and checklist for reading through the entire Bible in one year. Although the original KJV did include translations of the books known as the "Apocrypha" rejected for the Biblical canon by most Protestants but accepted as the "Deuterocanonical" books by Catholics as well as Orthodox Christians, this edition does not include those books. The KJV is a Protestant translation (some sects of "KJV-only" Protestant fundamentalists even believe this translation was inspired by God as the only acceptable Bible version!), but no reason Catholics can't read it though it shouldn't be the only Bible version on the shelf. As mentioned, there are no editorializing notes or commentary in here. Some specific renderings here and there (along with the omission of the Deuterocanonical books) favor Protestant views, but if you are a faithful Catholic, it is not going to shatter your faith or anything. (As for the conservative Evangelical Protestant KJV-onlyists, well it is a tad bit of irony that the Bible version's namesake King James was a lifelong avid homosexual constantly chasing after and kissing handsome young lads at his court earning him the private nickname "Queen James" among other courtiers.)

menor do que achei que seria, mas muito bonito

Didn't pay extra for fast delivery and expected it to take about 10 days in the normal post, so was surprised to see it dispatched the day after ordering, and even more surprised (and happy) when it arrived just two days later. The book is absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous. Bought this for myself, but I will order them as gifts in future, as I can't think of a more lovely gift for someone new to bible study. Time will tell how the quality stands up, but on first inspection, happy so far.

exactly everything I want thank you every much 💛

Super cute! Small text and compact size to take everywhere with you.

Everything is perfect but the size of the text, kinda small
