The first thing I noticed about this bible is that the picture Amazon shows is for the box that it comes in. The bible itself is smaller than most "standard" sized bibles. This one is smaller than the dimensions of a DVD case (height and length) the width is obviously thicker. It is probably more like the size of a diary.This bible has no printing on the front cover like the box would lead you to believe. The print is smaller than most of the bibles I have so that was something else I was surprised at.I love the translation! It is a much easier bible to read that way. I got hooked on this translation after reading a biblezine (which is another great product).Overall, I'm happy I purchased the bible. Use my observations to make up your mind whether or not purchase this bible. Personally, I couldn't find this at my local bookstores so I kind of bought this on a gamble. I'm still satisfied with it, it just isn't what I expected.
