Note Takers Bible

I’ve longed been an admirer of wide-margin Bibles. I consider the wide margin Bible to be the best choice as a Study Bible, because it gives the reader the opportunity to interact with the scriptures, creating their own Study Bible. My current wide margin Bible is a World Heritage. It has nice margins, but the paper is too thin for writing. Also, the inside margin is too difficult to write in, causing you to lose some of that precious note-taking space. On top of that, the fonts are slightly small, and now that I’m past the 40 mark, font size is a bigger deal to me than it used to be. I recently scanned the Web for a Bible with a single column on the inside, a very wide margin on the outside of the page, a nice leather cover, in King James, a font larger than my current Thompson’s 8 point font, and a price I could afford. Well… I found it. The Note-Taker’s Bible from Local Church Bible Publishers.
