NLT Personal Size Giant Print Bible, Filament Enabled Edition (Red Letter, Leatherlike, Aurora Cranberry): New Living Translation, Aurora Cranberry, ... Personal Size, Filament Enabled Edition

Brought as a present. My partner is very pleased with it,she loves the fact that she can enjoy her bible time without straining her eye as the print is a good size.The maps and graphs in the back are good and she also likes the app that comes with it.

Wow! I can't believe how much better I can see this large print Bible! The quality of the Bible is amazing, I'm so surprised that even with large print it's compact, and not nearly as heavy as my study Bible. The pages don't feel too thin, and the ghosting from being printed on both sides of the page is great, you really only see a tiny shadow of the large chapter number from the backside of the page, it's really not enough to even mention it in all honesty. Even without the added filament app, it's the best Bible I've owned in years...The Bible is always fabulous obviously, but I LOVE that I can read it again! The pages have gold gilded edges, and I love that just like when I was a child, in the back I can find color maps and graphs, something I don't have in all of my Bibles. The Word of Jesus appears in red as well, yet another plus!The app takes this Bible to a whole new level! I'm so excited by the exceptional study guide, reflections, and videos included with each page thanks to the app. I know this will be the year that I'll finally have all the resources I need to make 2022 and beyond outstanding. Although I've finished buying my Christmas presents for the year, ( which included new Bibles) this will be the first year ever I've bought New Years gifts! This Bible and the app are phenomenal! Every household needs at least one filament Bible. I honestly can't say enough about it, Bless you Tyndale for spreading the Word of God in such a remarkable way. If I could give this more stars I would.

This is a beautiful Bible, and the font is the perfect size for my eyesight and makes easy reading

The media could not be loaded.  Quite nice Bible to be honest. I can't wait to dig in

Excellent Bible — good sized print for a smaller Bible plus the Filament feature. Beautiful cover. This is a great translation.

I recently decided to become even more officially middle aged by buying large print Bibles to help with the middle age bonus of worse vision than you already dealt with your whole life. It’s great isn’t it? I decided to take the opportunity to try out new translations as well. I still have almost a dozen options in the house between me and my husband’s collections, but they weren’t meeting my want for an easy to *read* and just *enjoy* the Bible more like a general book to read… they feel more like reading a textbook (NASB, ESV, NET, etc) or they have undergone one too many revisions to where I no longer like what’s currently in print (NIV), or just clunky (AMP, KJV). So I found a free online Parallel Bible website and tried a bunch and the NLT kept being the column that I was most enjoying. It was just easy and comfortable and enjoyable but most of all inviting… I wanted to keep reading without effort, it was just different enough to my “ear” to feel new again without being so new/different to feel foreign (like paraphrase translations like MSG, Passion, the original Living Bible). It also didn’t feel like I was being given a simpler translation like I was a kid (NRIV). This was the Goldilocks translation I wanted as my daily bedside reader. I also really like the NLT’s use of subject/transition headings so you can more easily find specific stories/events and have a better idea of when/where is a good stopping point when reading for leisure.I picked this specific edition for when I want to read without study notes for minimal distraction or for when I want to leave the house with a printed Bible. The phone app is easy to use and it’s not too much added time to occasionally load up notes on a verse I’m reading. (Although if I wanted to read a lot of notes while researching a topic or reading through a difficult Book of the Bible I would prefer to use the Life Application Study Bible which is available in large print. That version is just not very portable or easy to hold while casually reading without support.)As for this printing I find the font size to be comfortable to read the text and the notes. The cover is beautiful and feels sturdy enough. The dimensions are really nice. A little larger than an average non-study Bible but similar to Bibles with devotional or added Helps/Note content. I can easily read it in bed and even one handed reading is possible.The paper is decent enough quality. It’s a little on the thin side to reduce weight and size of the book. Ghosting is not an issue in good lighting and hardly noticeable with a good clip on book light. In bad lighting you may need to lift up the page you’re reading and let it gently fall back into place so it’s not completely pressed into the underlying page, or use a blank piece of printer or cardstock paper (which doubles as a bookmark) as a blotter page behind the page you’re reading if you’re really sensitive to it. I use pencil and Frixion Pastel Highlighters in Bibles and that works well on this paper with minimal ghosting (especially if you overlap coats) but no bleed through (however, erasing Frixion Highlighter causes the paper to pucker and a faint amount of discoloration will remain).I do wish the publisher had taken the time to do line matching throughout the text, which is frustrating because it would have reduced ghosting to almost none and would not have been difficult but it seems like more than half the pages already fell into close to line matching. So it’s weird when you hit the page that stands out as the noticeable oddball, which seems to be about every third page. I also would have tweaked the kerning of the font for a little clearer reading experience but my eyes got used to it pretty quickly. I debated getting a larger font to read completely without glasses even in lower light but found that the larger giant print fonts either made the Bible too large to hold comfortably or made my eyes have to do too much flicking back and forth that it causes even more eye fatigue and headache. I discovered my clip on book light often helps make this font more readable enough that I rarely need my reading glasses.I really like the bonus features in the app. It seems equivalent to the NLT Study Bible notes with some additional devotional/reflection articles from the One Year Unlocking the Bible, the One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the OT, the One Year Book of Encouragement, Dancing in the Desert, Sacred Questions Journey, and more. It would be nice to be able to buy on additional content so you wouldn’t need to buy multiple Bibles that have the exact same translation. However there’s currently no way to easily move from one author’s article to their next one, you are stuck flipping through the verses until you spot a new article from that same author. Sadly there is no way to read the NLT itself in the app when you’re away from home and have a few minutes to spare, unless you go online or download the NLT from other free apps that provide it.I really think they did a great job overall. I wish the paper was a tad thicker but I understand the decision in terms of price and overall thickness/weight of the complete Bible. I do wish they would make a Psalms + Proverbs + NT in this font size in a more compact body for even more portability.Another thing worth noting is I really enjoy the NLT 365 Day Reading Plan which gives you a lot of the most important passages in chronological order while minimizing repetitious/overlapping content and “dry” sections of history/lists that many new Believers or new readers struggle with (and often abandon trying to read through the Bible before Leviticus is even over). For an even faster survey/summary/Big Picture View of the Bible check out the Wayfinding Bible “routes” in the Partial Bible Reading Plans in the Filament app.

The media could not be loaded.  The ribbon marker is badly sewn. See video. How am I supposed to use the ribbon marker?The pages are a little warp.

Love the translation. The giant print is large enough for me to read comfortably without extra strain on eyes. Love the feel of the leather-like cover, but the cover seems a little thin for such a large, weighty Bible. The cover is a beautiful burgundy color. Thought the filament was a good idea when I bought it but I find I don't use it at all. I personally prefer actual printed notes and extras, incorporated into the Bible.

I love this new bible. I did a lot of research before hand. Read all the reviews here and finally decided to go ahead. Easy to hold and pages a nice to turn without having lick my finger. I do not see a problem with bleeding that other people had. It took me almost a year to cover to cover in my older bible. I seem to be breezing through this one. Very easy on the eyes. I really like the fact anything by Jesus is in red.If you are looking for a bible this is the one.
