My Top Five Overall Bibles…That All Happen to be NKJV

In this video I cover my top five overall favorite bible text blocks. While they all happen to be NKJV, I do include a few others I really like as well!

End-of-verse is an underrated layout. It’s so easy to see them instead having to search the bottom of the page and it’s also helpful that the footnotes are separate from references

Here I was, thinking about buying an NKJV, and you upload this video. Thank you!

[lupemauldin]

You are so thorough with your Bible reviews. Thank you.

I own the blue letter Maclaren and the NKJV personal size end of verse, but my favorite is the verse by verse, center column reference, red letter text block.

[NIKKI-Kit-Kat]

I love the verse by verse center column reference.

[clannard]

My absolute favourite layout is the TN NKJV giant print centre column reference bible. The comfort print font, line spacing, column spacing, reference spacing, page margins and line matching makes for an engaging, comfortable and pleasant reading experience.

[UNAJacob]

Love all my NKJVs, but the verse by verse center column reference is my fav!

[LaLidoLoca]

Thanks for all your videos. I just ordered the Maclaren. Excited to use it. - Tony

The center column reference has always been my favorite. Great video. 👍

[justindeharlingen]

Yay! My Nkjv SCR made the list. I don't have any problem with the gutter in my prints. Most readable Nkjv. Even more likable than the Deluxe Reader's Bible.

Coming at this video a Year Later and after this video and Wildsmiths video amongst others and want to say thank you for helping me decide which one I should purchase for my Physical Bible Collection... God Bless 🙏🏾👍🏾

I have two favorites:
1. NIV Deluxe Single Column reference Bible with Topical links on the bottom. Only way it could be better ids if the cross reference were in the inside margin instead of the outside. But there is a generous gutter space and the outside column references do make fore better margin space for notes, like a wide margin on pages with fewer references.
My second is actually a study Bible, the NLT Life Application Bible. Single colum with references in the inner margin, notes on the bottom, and many easy to use study tools: booknl intros, in-text maps, person profiles, many charts and lots of other tools.

The End of Verse reference is so good but why oh why didn’t they include the full set of notes??? They’re abridged which is SUCH a bummer

[FredHenry]

I, too, prefer double column. I like my references & notes on the bottom with space between both columns. This set-up allows me to read easily, moving from line-to-line with seamless effort, while also allowing me to mark on both sides of each column. This means I can easily mark just about any section of a verse. I have found this is difficult in a wide single column. The only option is to underline in many situations. With my double column, with the references underneath the text block, I can underline and side mark just about any section of a verse that I wish. My main Bible is the NAS95 Schuyler Thinline Quentel. It meets all my needs. Plus, it has large font. It is hard to beat! I see myself reading that Bible for years to come.

I love... Sovereign, End of verse reference and LP thinline reference bibles Tim....Nice video.. God bless you, Tim..

[grantkruger]

My favourite typesetting is the NASB 2020 Wide Margin Reference. The single column 10pt size text, the font, and the all black typesetting are great.

[tony.biondi]

Brilliant! Thank you, Tim. Would love TN to flip the text and references in the single column - just put the references into the inside margin.

[megalyon]

Great choices Tim, you are right that MacLaren is a great edition, I also have the premium end of verse edition. My least favorite is that single column NKJV, I don't like the bottom justification and I wish they would put the references on the inside to keep the text out of the gutter or do wider inner margins. Overall Thomas Nelsons for the win! Their comfort print is always bold and readable.

[stujanner]

🇬🇧 viewer, new to the word, after watching you and Mr Frisch regard for the NKJV I bought budget NKJV in comfort print. Its single column setting makes it read easier. I am getting the word and story in. Then I go to my study bible and get another view from far more wiser people (ESV and John Macarthur. )

[geoffreyverkade]

VbV Center Column Reference, Single Colum Reference, and Inside Reference Single Column Wide Margin...have them all in their Genuine Leather, they are all incredible.
