Slimline Center Column Reference Bible NLT, TuTone (Slimline Reference: Nltse)
I like this Bible for reading as the typeface is big enough and the paper, though thin, is of good quality. The New Living Translation has the advantage of keeping the original meaning accurately whilst having the similar impact in our language that the original writings would have probably had on the people it was written for. Of course, sometimes I do check how other translations have rendered the part that I'm reading so I have KJV, NKJV, NASB and NIV available as 'e' versions on my phone too. The cross references in the centre column are useful as are the brief overviews and introductions that are at the start of each new book of the Bible.
The New Living Translation makes the Bible feel more real, immediate and relevant for my life so it feels easier to read and 'get in to'.
This particular Bible also looks nice with the leather look of the cover and neat stitching and the gold that edges the pages. The size of 8 and a half inches by 5 and three quarter inches by just over one inch thick is a good size for carrying. The bible stays open flat without having to hold it down. I really like this Bible. Praise God!
Great size, very legible print and flexible binding. Only one complaint: this is a red letter edition. Red print bothers my eyes and is much more difficult to read than black print. It is too bad we are not given a choice!
