Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Craftsmanship Review: I received this Bible as a gift at my ordination. It is a very well made Bible and handsomely put together. The lifetime warranty is astounding, and yet I still find myself keeping it in the box, so as not to scratch or ruin it.It has been a great tool in study, and if you want conservative notes, has excellent notes in it. A few things: 1. For those who are looking for "THE King James", the spellings of many words have been Americanized (Savior instead of Saviour, etc.). This does not bother me, just thought some might be interested in that. 2. I am NOT a KJV only person and I laugh every time I read the notes that help you understand what is being said in the old English. Usually, it is very similar to what the NLT would say. 3. The 2 silk markers are very nice for doing read through the Bible and holding 2 spots. 4. This Bible MAKES me want to read and study, it is so nice. 5. Every once in while, I have found myself at odds with the opinions of the note writers (nothing unusual in any study Bible) and would recommend that readers determine doctrine for themselves, rather than take wholesale any note. (Always a good rule of thumb) 6. There is some excellent introduction material on how to study the Bible at the beginning. 7. Maps are OK, I guess I really like maps so am more inclined to use Baker's Bible Atlas or some such other resource. Good for quick reference. Overall, an excellent Bible.
