Norman gave me a new Bible on Friday. It has a very nice leather-bound cover that’s super-soft to the touch. The burgandy color is something I’d expect to fade well over time into a beautiful brownish-tan color (hopefully I use it enough for it to do that).
The thing I love most about it is that it doesn’t say “HOLY BIBLE” all over the front. It’s not like people won’t know it’s a Bible if it doesn’t have the name printed it bold letters across the cover. Instead, the title is imprinted into the spine along with the translation type and publisher.
Bible-lover or not, you have to admit that this is a well-designed Bible.
ooh i’ve been looking for a new bible in ESV…
make sure u get a 2007 edition of the ESV, not the 2001
