NKJV Minister's Bible by Thomas Nelson. This Bible would be a nice working Bible. It is not the Bible I would use for sermon preparation nor any other talks/ lessons . This very nice appearing Bible would make a nice presentation as a pastor uses it for speeches, sermons, or other talks or ceremonies. There is a nice feel to the leather like cover. There are some resources for preparing for ceremonies such as weddings, funerals, baptisms, and dedications. There are also some sample plans for the pastor to use when preparing for the above ceremonies including song suggestions. There are some helps for preparing special sermons. For sermon preparation I would hope that the pastor would have a different more in-depth Bible. This Bible would be a nice gift for any beginning pastor. I would think an experienced pastor would already have all of this helps in their library but they would possibly enjoy having such a nice feeling Bible to use during the actual speaking.
Now as for the actual Bible I loved it. I love this version and plan to use it often in daily reading. It is not a study Bible and should not be purchased as such. There is 3 nice ribbons for marking your place as you do reading either in church or daily home reading. The binding looks like it will last a long time and it is a nice small size but yet the lettering is easy to read. The paper is thin and that is what makes it a small easy to carry Bible and after a few readings they don't stick together too bad. I would buy it for a gift for a part time pastor, new pastor, or lay speaker. I enjoy reading this version. It flows nicely but is written in easy to read English.
I received this Bible for this review from BookLook.
