    What a nice gift for your wife. Does it have any study notes?

    Amy, as I recall there is an introduction to each book as well as some additional study helps in the back.

    I don't mind either way. I have both red letter and straight black letter Bibles.

    I looked at a rainbow Bible a while back. Some parts of it were ok, but others were just to busy with all the colors all over the page. I found it to be distracting.

    All of the words of God should be READ.


    (Get it? Red - Read)

    Sorry, slow news day here in the Valley.

    Does anyone think they should come out with a version that has the text in a dark blue? It's a bit easier on the eyes.

    At one time, in England, it was an insult to write a letter in red ink. Red is also the symbollic colour of debt. I think I will stick with black on white pages.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Interesting. I always wondered where the tradition of red-lettering came from. I can sleep better now :)

    I understood it.

    Harold was noting my "abomination" sarcasm in an early post.

    It was sarcasm, I post most of my quotes from Scripture here on the BB in dark red.

    My HCSB doesn't have red letters in the OT. I own the giant print edition. Which edition do you own?

    Ah. It's not available at ChristianBook and one can buy it only in bonded-leather at Amazon.

    I'm sure one can find it in hardback on eBay.

    In Christ,
