New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs-NASB-Pocket Size

Rating:
Summary: Very well made pocket NASB
Review: The NASB is the most accurate, word for word translation of the bible in English. This makes it ideal for those who are familiar with the scriptures and do not need (or want) anything that is a paraphrase or an interpretation of the translator. If the NASB says something, you can be 100% certain that the words used are the most accurate translation of the original language that are possible and still make sense in English. This translation was done with painstaking care. There is no need to learn Greek or Hebrew with the NASB available. Unfortunately, this also means that the NASB doesn't always read like natural, everyday American English. The editors chose accuracy over elegance and smoothness. For students, accuracy is more important. For devotions and newbies, style might be more important.
This is a beautiful edition. The binding is solid and tight. This feels very sturdy and will last a lifetime. The font is very clear and readable. Double columns make this look like a traditional New Testament. There are 26 pages of helps in the back. A silk ribbon completes the package. This will fit easily into a purse or a man's pants' pocket. A good value.
