    I just purchased this bible to use just for reading. I noticed the statement on the box it came in that says "Once you start reading it, you won't want to put it down". This is a true statement. I don't normally write reviews but I want to share what I have found with all Christians. The paraphrasing of this bible seems to make the words just roll as though your were reading a novel. I wasn't able to visualize the stories and lessons as well as I'd liked until I started reading this wonderful translation. I highly suggest that you consider this bible as the next book you read. I would also like to add that the Leatherlike cover feels very comfortable and warm. The print is somewhat smaller than I like but the paper is thicker which makes the pages easier to turn. Thank you for taking the time to read this review. I don't believe you will be disappointed at all with the beautiful book of God's Word. God bless you!

    I have re-discovered the Living Bible after I "outgrew it" 37 years ago. What a mistake to leave this translation work, which opens the meaning of the word of God. I had gone to the NAS, which is great for accuracy, but sometimes fails to "unpack" the meaning of the text. The New Living Translation supposedly replaced the original Living Bible, but sadly lost much of this "unpacking" ability as it tried to become more literal. The Amplified Bible is good for its "unpacking" ability, but not as good at drawing ones' soul into the text.

    As to quality of printing and binding, I think this TuTone Imitation Leather edition is wonderful. If feels like real leather, although a bit stiffer (but OK). The pages are just a trace thicker than I would prefer, but highlighting does not bleed through the pages when I use Z-Brite highlighters. The text is a very nice size - not too small or too large. The paper has just a bit of slickness to it, making it feel like a nice Bible. The paper is slightly brown instead of pure white, which is OK. I would prefer a slightly whiter paper for perfection. This edition is much preferred over the original hard back binding. This Bible is neither extremely compact, nor overly large and "clunky"... a good size for a primary Bible.

    I highly recommend this edition to anyone wanting a Bible that will pull you into the text and make you regret that you have to end your Bible reading time for the day. I remember the evenings I read it as a new believer (1973), when Bible Time was like eating candy. I just couldn't get enough, and it led me to read through the entire word of God in seven months, giving me a tremendous foundation for the spiritual life God had for me. May it do the same for you and to those to whom you give it as a gift.

    I have many translations of the Bible that I use for study. I use the Living Bible as my devotional. I find it to be an excellent paraphrase that reads almost like a novel. Although inexpensive, the quality of the leathertone is excellent. It is holding up very well, and believe me it gets a lot of use from me.

    This product was more than I expected. I bought 3 bibles to give as gifts, and I as well as the recipients, were in awe of the beauty and appearance of this amazing bible. I will be purchasing more. Thank you so much.
