This is a handy Bible as while I am trying to be able to learn basic Arabic words, I can still have access to the English. The disadvantage I found with the book itself is that with the pages being too thin, book tabs that I tried to put on pages actually turned out to be too heavy. Since it being Arabic, like Hebrew, it is to be read by back to front (big hint for those unaware of Arabic!), I had hoped by having tabs that would allow me to find each book easier.

This Bible was a very welcome gift by my friend who has left Islam. The quality hard cover and gold imprint conveys the message of it's precious contents. I really like the English and Arabic in two columns on each page-no having to keep you eyes on the line and find the corresponding verse on the opposite page.
