NJB Pocket Edition Bible (New Jerusalem Bible) Hardcover – 1 Mar. 1990

Bought this for my mom birthday. Its a wonderful little travelling bible. The word of god

Having read yet

I needed this Bible to check with other translations, It is very good in that it has God's name - Yahweh in the Hebrew text, so is accurate and you can confirm the message hasn't changed in other Bibles, just the phraseology, But the meaning and essence is the same. Good to have for reference.Very small though, so be aware, most of us will need glasses to read it!

Edited review as previous one contained bias.THis was bought for a new convert to the faith. I feel like most new wave christian denominations have but 66 books within, this one has 72, i believe. I had to get her the full one. I can't imagine reading a Bible without these books as they help paint a picture of biblical times. Even this bible is missing books the church doesn't count as cannon but do have spiritual value.The gift was well received. It was commented that this would fit inside her purse and I suggested a rubber band to keep it tightly shut if she does to keep pages in good order.Best translation without spending £200 too.

I think it is a very good Bible for presentation. It is well preserved with the leather cover. I was very happy to give him such a precious book on the occasion of his baptism. I am sure he will cherish the New Jerusalem Bible and read it at least once a week. I received it on time and also in good condition. thanks very much for the quick delivery.

I have bought many Bible off Amazon but today I decided to write a review for anyone who wants to buy this translation . Let me make this clear the Writing inside this Bible is very small indeed . I am blessed with good eyes but after reading two pages am struggling .The Bible itself is lovely , and you can smell the leather before you even open the package . Its well made and should last a life time if you take care of it . Its sad really because the intruduction part of the Gospels the writing is a bit larger, if only it was like this throughout the Bible .I decided to keep the Bible for two reasons am a Catholic even tho am Born Again , and I thought it will be ok to put in my Work Bag. But , before you buy Please consider the Size of the writing .

Spot on.
