Local Church Bible Publishers (LCBP): Bible Reviews

[tonysshadow]

I really like the large print of the vinyl version. I might have to send for that one. As aggravating as can be, my eyes just dont cooperate for too long nowadays. I have to resort to my family Bible, the size of a coffee table. I saw you mention that you have a MacArthur Study Bible. Ive been seriously considering that as well. I cant even imagine what is in it considering his knowledge and study. Would you recommend it?

@tonysshadow Hi Tony. If you want to see a font size comparison between some of the LCBP bibles, I did one in the latest video youtube.com/watch?v=cVvPEicdmG­Y. If your theology tends to be Reformed, you will love the MacArthur Study Bible, otherwise, there will be a lot you don't agree with. The font is not huge though. If you have trouble with your eyes, I'd check it out in person first. God bless you and yours

Is the Hand Size Bible that you are reviewing from the Executive Series or the Designer Series?

[bondservant40]

@biblereadermn It is from the executive series. It is absolutely fabulous!

@bondservant40 Do you know what the size of the print is for the Hand Size BIble? I just looked at the LCBD website and they do not say what it is.

[bondservant40]

@biblereadermn You know, I couldn't tell that when I ordered either. It is bigger and bolder than the print in the MacArthur Study Bible (which I think is supposed to be 9pt), so I am guessing a bold 10 pt. Their large print is a 12 and their giant print around a 15. They have a font sample sheet you can print out under their menu - I think resources...can kind of give you a better idea of the print size you are ordering

[biblereadermn]

@bondservant40 I didn't notice before that they have a font sample sheet on their website. I am glad that I saw that before ordering a Hand Size Bible because it definitely does not have big enough type for me. I will have to get one of the Large Print Bibles. Thanks for the help.

God Bless.

@biblereadermn The large print is a beautiful Bible with a crisp font. It does not have the pronunciation marks that the hand size does, so it is a very "clean read". :) God bless!

One more question @bondservant40: Is the print in the Giant Print Vinyl larger than the print in your Giant Print Holman you reviewed a few months ago? What about the overall size. Is it heavier than your Holman? I'm somewhat of a dork in case you haven't noticed and I'm just trying to see what kind of weight and bulk I can expect from this new Bible that I ordered!

[bondservant40]

@ForeWard76 The Giant Print Vinyl is bigger print than my Holman (which is still my main Bible btw) Thinking about using the LCBP one to carry around for ministry. I keep wearing those out, and this looks really well made. The giant print is waaay thicker than the holman and pretty heavy -at least compared to the Holman. The print is really, really nice though.

I ordered the Giant Print vinyl today! $8!!! I went to the website and it stated that the Bible is sewn. Depending on the print quality and how my highlighters & pens respond...I MAY switch. I have a hand size giant print KJV by AMG that I LOVE because it has a large concordance and a separate concordance of proper names. I used to lug my Thompson Chain everywhere, but even at 35 years old that print is now too small for me. I hope I love this Bible!

[bondservant40]

@ForeWard76 I hope you like it! It will be a great Bible to mark up. The pages are pretty thick on it. Let me know what you think once it arrives. :)

The leather bibles gets softer and more subtler the more you use them. At first when I got mine I didnt like the way it looked. But on the 3rd day of use the bible looked alot nicer. Now I am soo happy with my mid size large print.

[bondservant40]

@Sonica212 Sonica, I thought the print on this one would be larger than it is. This is probably a 9 or 10 pt bold. How big would you say the large size print is? Glad you are happy with yours! :)

[Sonica212]

@bondservant40  Maybe about 15 16. Its really juicy and large. I love reading from the large print. The words just jumps out at you.

[bondservant40]

@Sonica212 Sonica, as much as I love the hand size, my eyes just don't read it anymore - though it would be big and bold for people with "normal" eyes. SO nicely done. Anyhoo, after your 1st post I ordered the large print and it is actually coming *today*! Now, after reading your description, I am especially eager to read it :)

Looks good!

[bondservant40]

@ladrev1257 :)

[Billthesheepdog]

Where can that be purchased? My bible has shrinking text syndrome! maybe my glasses are just wearing out? LOL

Anyway I could use a larger print size if they are on sale?

[bondservant40]

@Billthesheepdog they are at the link I gave in the video and comments. I don't think they allow me to put a whole link in a comment :|. Yes, they have large and giant. I have the same syndrome as you! Totally understand :)
