It's got a zipper!!!!

I was in the market earlier this year for a bible that was super portable! Not just a hand sized carry bible, but something that I could easily take with me on the road that was built like a brick house and could stand a little rough and tumble treatment....

And I found it with the Classic Reference Bible by the Trinitarian Bible Society or TBS as they are known.

This little gem of a bible has so many features that are jam packed into it's small package and to add the cherry on top...It comes with a zipper!

Here's the features of the Classic Reference:

  • Size (inches): 7.25 X 5 X 1 (The box says it's smaller, but that's the trim and not the entire bible with zipper cover)
  • Cover : Black Calfskin Leather
  • Font Size : 7
  • 2 Ribbon Markers
  • Gilt Page Edges
  • Thumb Index
  • Epistle Dedicatory & Translators to the Reader
  • Bible Maps
  • Bible Map Index
  • Word List
  • Black letter text
  • Self pronouncing words
  • 2 Year Reading Plan

ISBN: 978 1 86228 197 4

And so much more....

I think what I love most about this bible is that it's got so many features packed into it, but it's so affordable. While not a premium bible, it's built so well that it can really take the abuse of being a portable bible.

I'm a huge fan of all the TBS bibles and this one fits exactly what you would need in a portable, hand sized bible.
