![]() The features it has are so unique and the Bible is so well done that I think it could be a huge success. If I were on the marketing team at Steadfast, I would give this Bible a fun name (think Schuyler Quentel, Cambridge Topaz, or Allan Reader) and start printing it in as many translations as possible. But I suppose it is pretty handy compared to its ginormous predecessor. It is 1.6” thick with a 5.75” x 8.5” trim size that jumps up to 6.5” x 10” when you account for the goatskin cover. I have to think that some people scroll right past this Bible when they see the words “Preacher’s Bible,” and that’s a shame.Ģ) “Handy Size” – I chuckle every time I say it, because this Bible really isn’t that small. ![]() My only critique of this Bible is that I think it has the wrong name… twice!ġ) “Preacher’s Bible” – I understand that this Bible was designed with preachers in mind, and I think it’s a fantastic Bible to preach with, but it’s also a great Bible for non-preachers. I’m not particularly crazy about verse-by-verse editions for my own personal study, but I will say that I have enjoyed this format when following along with Pastor Jim’s sermons. ![]() It is line matched on fantastic 32 GSM paper, so the readability is excellent. Steadfast does not have the type size listed, but I would guess it’s about a 9pt font or just a hair smaller. I am on the record as a big fan of single column Bibles, and this one is beautifully laid out by 2K/Denmark with the text centered on the page. Single column, verse-by-verse, fairly wide margins, no cross-references or textual notes… I can’t think of another Bible out there that has all of these features. You’ll notice from the list of features above that the Handy Size Preacher’s Bible is a very unique edition. Same line-by-line and page-by-page word order as the original Preacher’s Bible.Handwriting notes, audio notes, typed out notes, saved articles, or annotated notes, you can do it all here. NASB 95 text in a single column, verse-by-verse format This is by far my favourite app for notes.It’s right up there with Schuyler in terms of materials and craftsmanship, and that makes sense because Steadfast produced this Bible with 2K/Denmark and Royal Jongbloed, the same typesetter and printer that Schuyler uses for all of their Bibles. When the Bible arrived from Shane, I was immediately struck by the quality. So in early 2020, Steadfast released this smaller edition and called it the “Preacher’s Bible – Handy Size.” Unlike the ever-popular MacArthur Study Bibles with extensive notes, articles, indexes, charts, maps, and cross-references, the Preacher’s Bible has nothing but the text and a concordance in a single column, verse-by-verse format. 14 Slides RyanJLane//Getty Images A couple of decades ago, Christians had to buy tiny-fonted, abridged pocket Bibles to carry Gods word with them throughout the day. Steadfast Bibles arrived on the scene back in 2018 when they released the original Preacher’s Bible, a massive edition designed by John MacArthur. It’s free, has 1092 versions of the Bible (at least the last time I checked) in 780 languages as well as audio and video built in too. Steadfast Handy Size Preacher’s Bible – Overview YouVersion Bible YouVersion is probably the biggest Bible app on both Android and iOS and for good reason. But then one day I was talking to my buddy Shane and he told me that he thought I would really love the Handy Size Preacher’s Bible from Steadfast. I wanted something a little smaller, so obviously Bibles like the Schuyler PSQ and Cambridge’s Clarion or Pitt Minion were on my list (I actually picked up used copies of all three of those just to test them out). That Bible is fantastic, but it’s a little bit too big and bulky to carry to church. You may have seen my previous review of the NASB Single Column Reference Edition from Zondervan. I decided right then and there to look for a great NASB Bible that I could use to follow along with his sermons at church (and now… at home). I sent him an email, and he told me that the main Bible he carries, reads, and teaches from is an old NASB that has all of his notes from years and years of life and ministry (what a treasure!). ![]() Read the chapter for the day, and then post whatever thought(s) you have.When Becca and I began attending The Village Chapel last year, I noticed that the translation Pastor Jim Thomas preached from was not syncing up with my favorite ESV, NIV, and NRSV Bibles.
