 Great NKJV Large Print Bible! March 8, 2006
47 out of 48 found this review helpful
I was very pleased with both the price and the quality of the Ultra Slim New King James Version Bible. The print is larger than other bibles I have had and yet it is slim and lightweight enough to carry. I would recommend this book to those with "over 40" eyes. The slightly larger print has reduced eye strain.
Excellent for Reading! November 11, 2007
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
As one who has numerous bibles, I read and study from various versions including the NASB, NIV, TNIV, NRSV, ESV, HSCB, and the NKJV. Generally, for easy reading I go to the NIV or its updated TNIV. But for really serious study I go to the NASB and the NKJV.
I love the accuracy of the word-for-word translations which the NASB and the NKJV provides. Though a little more difficult at times to understand, you know they're accurate and true to the original languages.
The huge advantage of this NKJV Large Print UltraSlim Bible is its large print! It is superior to all the other bibles I have maybe with the exception of the Zondervan NIV Wide-Margin Bible. Therefore, for someone like me who is over 60 and wears bifocals, this is a huge plus!
The only thing I don't like about the NKJV Large Print UltraSlim Bible is the typesetting of the words of Jesus. They're printed in red ink of which the coloring is inconsistent from page to page and for some reason does not line up exactly with the rest of the verse(s). But then you have to realize you're not paying a whole lot for this Bible!
This Bible has 1200 pages which includes a 66-page concordance. This is not a study Bible meaning it doesn't have study notes or reference verses. However, being true to the NKJV it includes footnotes where it varies with the Critical and Majority Texts.
As others before me have commented, this Bible is very light, being about 1-inch thick, making it very easy to take just about anywhere. Sure, the cover isn't high quality, but the binding is excellent and I find the Bible to easily lay flat regardless of what page I'm on. That for me is a huge plus!
One more thing, there is very little in the way of margins in this Bible at 3/8ths of an inch all around. So, not easy to write notes. But I have found that you can use a fine-point ink pen and underline at your hearts content and not have to worry about the ink bleeding through! Of all the Bibles I own, this is the only one that I can do this with. This means that the quality of paper used in this Bible is excellent!
 compact, but not leather. June 1, 2007
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
As the description says, it is a compact bible, but the cover is pretty flimsy and not at all manufactured using leather. The print is probably about 11 point, not terribly large. It's an ok bible, but not gift quality. If you want a real leather equivalent, I recommend the Holman Ultra-thin Large Print Reference (ISBN # 978-1-55819-652-0) which is Korean made (10 point print) and real genuine leather. It also costs twice as much. So you get what you pay for.
NKJV Large UltaSlim Bible March 30, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
It is a pretty good edition for a child of 10 to 14 years of age. The reason for this is, it is pretty low quality for weathering the years of bible study. Also the pages aren't bright white and the print is somewhat small.The concordance is pretty basic and there are no maps. It is a good start to teaching children to care for a more solid bible but it isn't the best for study helps, word definitions or introductions to a book of the bible (there are none). If you have a Bible concordance already , this will help, other than that, I'm afraid, you are on your own.
My "Travel" Bible June 4, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This bible is the perfect size to keep in the car and for travel. It has a pleasant feel and is a convenient size for note-taking in confined spaces. I have received more positive comments on this particular bible than on my "good" leather life application study bible, at 3x the price! Everybody wants to know where to get one! NKJV is my favorite translation of scripture; this bible print is very easy on the eyes during intensive reading and studying.
