NASB Large Print Personal Size Reference Bible, Burnt Sienna LeatherTouch, Red Letter, Presentation Page, Cross-References, Full-Color Maps, Easy-to-Read Bible Karmina Type

This Bible is really well made and easy to read. The large print is clear without making the book too bulky, and the Karmina typeface looks great on the page. The LeatherTouch cover in burnt sienna feels soft but sturdy, and it lays nicely in the hand. I also like the extra features such as the cross-references, red-letter text, and maps in the back. Overall, it’s a beautiful Bible that’s both practical for everyday reading and nice enough to give as a gift.

I’ve owned several study Bibles over the years, but the NASB Large Print Personal Size Reference Bible in Burnt Sienna LeatherTouch has quickly become my absolute favorite. From the moment I held it in my hands, I could tell this edition was crafted with both care and purpose.Crystal‑Clear, Easy‑On‑The‑Eyes TextThe 11.25‑point Karmina type is a revelation! As someone who struggles with eye strain during long reading sessions, I can’t overstate how much I appreciate the large, beautifully printed text. Whether I’m in morning devotions or late‑night study, my eyes feel rested—and I find myself lingering over passages instead of skimming.Perfect Personal Trim SizeDespite its generous print size, this Bible remains remarkably portable. The 5.375″ × 8.25″ page dimensions fit comfortably in my hand, backpack, or tote. It’s slim enough to carry to church, small‑group meetings, or on weekend trips—yet substantial enough (1,776 pages!) to serve as a lifelong companion.Lay‑Flat, Smyth‑Sewn BindingOpening the Bible to any page feels effortless, thanks to the Smyth‑sewn, lay‑flat binding. No more wrestling with stiff spines or needing to hold the book open; it simply lies flat on the desk or pulpit. This thoughtful design makes note‑taking and cross‑referencing a breeze.Robust Reference ToolsI’ve been thoroughly impressed by the end‑of‑page cross‑reference system and topical subject headings. When I’m studying a theme—say, “God’s faithfulness”—I can instantly flip to related passages without breaking my train of thought. The full‑color maps in the back are a delightful bonus, helping me visualize the journeys of Paul, the borders of Israel, and the terrain of Jesus’s ministry.Red‑Letter Words of ChristThe red‑letter text is vivid and consistently applied. Christ’s words stand out beautifully against the crisp black type, drawing my eyes to the heart of the gospel.Premium Presentation & DurabilityThe Burnt Sienna LeatherTouch cover feels luxurious yet durable. The gilded page edges and built‑in ribbon marker add a touch of elegance—this is a Bible I’m proud to display on my shelf and thrilled to give as a gift. The presentation page makes it perfect for weddings, graduations, or pastoral ordinations.Final ThoughtsIn short, this NASB Large Print Personal Size Reference Bible checks every box: readability, portability, durability, and rich study features. Whether you’re a seasoned preacher, a devoted student, or someone just beginning to explore Scripture, this Bible will serve you faithfully for years to come. I wholeheartedly give it five stars and cannot recommend it highly enough!

This is a lovely Bible with thin, very opaque pages. The print is a comfortable size. It lies flat and is very easy to read. I'm amazed it can be manufactured and delivered for this price. Thanks, Holman Bible Publishers! The only suggestion for improvement is to make the pages not stick together upon first use. Some pages must be initially separated carefully before reading for the first time. But that's a minor complaint. I'd highly recommend this Bible. I have a Kindle and hundreds of Kindle books, but I prefer reading this printed Bible over the Kindle. The printed Bible sits nicely on my coffee table and is handy to open and read anytime.

NASB is the closest to actual original language too. If you compare the NIV to NASB, it is rather stunning how much the rephrasing has occurred in NIV, and I think it misses some nuances by the switching of words. This "personal size" is a great companion when you want JUST THE WORD; it includes all the scripturally-related verse references too. Many smaller size Bibles have tinier text too, so I appreciate that the text sizing is not forfeiited in order to create the smaller size book. I have found that sometimes my study bibles are too large, with too much extra material...so this serves its purpsoe very well when I want to simply read the word without a lot of distractions. The size is perfect too, I can easily pick it up and hold it with the clumy pain of arthritic aging hands and fingers. Pages are a great weight. Jesus' words in red actaully do help me to quickly find His passages with a glance over the page.

Exactly as described and reviewed: easy-read font, substantial pages, easily handled, buttery soft cover. However, oops - I bought this to read along with readings in church that aren't in the Missal. Catholic Church. This is a NASB translation. The American Catholic Church currently uses the NABRE translation. Well, my fault for not researching more carefully. Oh well, some book-accepting charity will be receiving a very nice Bible. Hope I can find a NABRE translation equally as nice as this Bible.

Great reading, large print. Papers are very very thin.
