Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.
All in NASB
It is a great joy to many Bible lovers to see the NASB 95 gaining new editions. Between the NASB 95, the NASB 2020, and the LSB, the NASB seems to have an identity crisis. I would say, however, that the 1995 is still the most popular by far and to see it gaining new—and very nice—editions is something many of us are celebrating.
I’m going to shoot you straight. I’ve still not been won over by the NASB 2020. That being said, I’m open to giving it more of a chance as some really nice editions are being released. One such edition is from Zondervan. It is the first NASB 2020 to appear in the Premier Collection and it is a thinline in brown goatskin. It is a stunner! Keep reading to see what I mean.
I didn’t expect to like the Bible I’m reviewing today. It was sent to me and I’m not sure I would have ever asked for it. Boy, am I glad they sent it because I like it way more than I expected.
I love journaling Bibles. They are the only Bible I will write in. The ESV has had the market for journaling Bibles for a long time, but that is changing and it’s great news! Every translation should have a journaling Bible option and that is becoming more and more the case. The newest offering is from Zondervan and the NASB translation finally has a journaling Bible!
Zondervan has been releasing some awesome Bibles lately. I was excited to find out they were releasing a Bible in blue buffalo leather and knew I had to try and review it. What I didn't expect, however, was the overwhelming response I received when I posted a snapshot of it in a Bible Facebook group in which I participate. This Bible has a lot of interesting features and I"m excited to get share them with you.
I shot a video over on Instagram comparing the two releases of Zondervan’s Premier Collection SCR. In short, the second edition has different leather on the cover and the text has been moved out of the gutter. I really like the text adjustment, but I prefer the leather on the first edition. Watch the video below to check it out!
When I seriously began reading the Bible for myself, I started with the New American Standard Bible Translation. I loved it, but then came the English Standard Version. The ESV was marketed so well that I made the switch and never looked back. Zondervan's acquisition of rights to print the NASB has brought a resurgence! I have jumped back in to the translation that started it all for me and I've really been enjoying it.
Thanks to Zondervan, the New American Standard Bible has made a strong come back. They have created several new offerings as well as having more in the works. The NASB is a great, literal translation of the Bible and it has been great for a company to pick it up and start offering new Bibles.
It’s no secret that I’ve been raving about the new NASB Premier Collection from Zondervan. If you haven’t already, check out my review of the NASB Single Column Reference Bible (SCR). In this post, I’m reviewing the other Bible in the new Premier Collection, which I would call the perfect companion for the SCR. It’s also made in China and it’s an impressive Bible from Zondervan…
I’m not even sure where to start as I begin to write the review for this Bible. All I can really say is, “Wow!” I knew Zondervan and Thomas Nelson’s Premier Collections were progressively getting better, but the two new NASB’s that Zondervan has just released have blown me away. I would argue they are now directly competing with premium companies like Cambridge, Schuyler, and Allan. Not only are they competing, but they are offering their Bibles at a considerably lower cost. Let me say it again, “Wow!”
