KJV, THINLINE BIBLE -COMPACT

Not everyone considers a compact Bible when they seek to purchase one and today more people are dependent on electronics to make a Bible available when they need one. But for those individuals, such as myself, who feel the importance of having a tangible form of Scripture Thomas Nelsons’ KJV, THINLINE COMPACT BIBLE is a viable option.

Admittedly, the main problem with compact Bibles is the size of the print. (If you have read any of my reviews you know this is a biggie for me!) And the font size is definitely small in the KJV, THINLINE COMPACT BIBLE, but I can read everything with my glasses on even the maps. That is because this Bible is set with the “Thomas Nelson KJV Font” a typeset created specifically for Thomas Nelson for the Bibles they publish; in other words even though the print size is small the words are still easy to read.

This is straight Bible- no commentary, no cross references, no profound words of encouragement scattered throughout the pages but Jesus words are in red. There are 8 maps, a one year Bible reading plan and a “30 DAYS WITH JESUS” passage reading plan. I found the “introduction” very interesting. It seems to set the right tone for the reading of God’s word.

The Translators of the Bible Wish Grace, Mercy, and Peace,through Jesus Christ Our Lord

Why would anyone purchase the KJV, THINLINE BIBLE Compact edition? Because it is portable you can take it where ever you go. It is dependable, it does not need batteries or a charger. It is convenient you can keep it at your bedside or on your desk at work without taking up a lot of space. And, because everyone should have a Bible when they go to church even if the words are on the screen. However with this particular Bible, the KJV, THINLINE BIBLE compact edition, it is bound in cloth and looks beautiful. (Did I mention it has two ribbon page keepers?  

This is a great King James Version of the Bible well worth the cost!I love it! xxx written by Marsha L F Randolph

THE WOMAN'S STUDY BIBLE NKJV

What a beautiful Mother’s Day gift THE WOMAN’S STUDY BIBLE NKJV, published by Thomas Nelson, would make. As I glanced through it’s pages I began to come up with excuses as to why I should keep this one for myself but as with most of the books I review it will be given away.

I did not have a first impression with THE WOMAN’S STUDY BIBLE because I had multiple impressions all at once. The floral cover appealed to the softer side of me, technically it is a cloth cover board with a pink floral design and it’s content sold me on this New King James Bible’s usefulness.

As I look at the various notations through out the book I am impressed with the information presented. On page 358 for example the topic block is: “Israels Unfaithfulness to God.” There is a comparison of Israel’s God vs Pagan gods,”  and “Worshipers “Of Israel God” vs “Of Pagan gods.”

As a test of the content I wanted to know what was written about Deborah, since she is one of my favorite people in Scripture. My thought was if they did not mention her it is not a real study Bible. On page 362 a mini-bio of Deborah was written and on page 363 Jael was discussed -double wow.

There are a lot of positive attributes within the pages of this Bible and I could write many more words but there are some technical factors that are important that need to be mentioned. First, and very important to me, it is written in LARGE PRINT! Yea! There is an INDEX at the back of the book - a Reference Guide to the Special Features which is helpful. And of course there are MAPS; the maps are readable and found at the back of the book as well as throughout the Bible.

Did you know that Aloe is mentioned in the Bible twice. The reader can learn about various herbs mentioned in the Word of God in THE WOMAN’S STUDY BIBLE NKJV. This book is full of little treasures.

This Bible has a lot to offer anyone looking for a New King James Version study Bible.  Written by Marsha L F Randolph

SEWING BASIC RESOURCE GUIDE

I have quite a collection of FREE reference books which includes SEWING BASICS RESOURCE GUIDE. I am not new to sewing but I do lack quite a few fundamentals thus I was looking for information on line one day when I happened upon this FREE PDF ebook. If you have this guide you will not need any other!  What is discussed:

• YOUR SEWING MACHINE
•   The Basic Parts of a Sewing Machine
•   Sewing A Seem
•   Basic Machine Stitches
•   Selecting Machine Stitch Length
•   Sewing Machine Tension Control
• SEWING TOOLS & NOTIONS
•   Top Five Cutting Tools for Sewing
•   Deciphering Measuring Tape Marks
•   Sewing Machine Needles
•   Hand Sewing Needles
•   Selecting the Right Thread
•   Bias Tape Cheat Sheet
• TIPS & TECHNIQUES
•   Selecting Fabric
•   Know How Much Fabric to Buy
•   How to Rip Out a Seam
•   Securing Machine-Sewn Seams
•   How to Make a Simple Hem
•   How to sew a Button
• 
  

The diagram of the sewing machine is accompanied by an easy to understand definition of each item.
For example: #11 is the THREAD TENSION DIAL on the diagram. But what is it for? The explanation reads as follows:   “Thread tension dial: Controls the tension on the top thread. If too tight, the bobbin thread appears on the right side of the fabric. If set too loose, the needle thread loops on the underside of the fabric.”

SEWING BASICS RESOURCE GUIDE a FREE DOWNLOADABLE PDF file is an overview of everything a sewist needs to start sewing. I have seen some of the very expensive books available for purchase and I would suggest you download this file first. True, it is an overview of how to sew but most of the things you will learn is achieved through practice.

I am sure that somewhere on the Sew4Home web page you can access this and more data however you can also Google the title and the link will take you directly to the file (or just click the link). SEWING BASICS RESOURCE GUIDE is well worth the download and, as I have done, printing out the 30 pages.

I am not affiliated with Sew4Home in anyway and was not asked to write this review.  The website contains a wealth of information for the beginner as well as an advanced sewer. xxxMarsha L F Randolph

KJV THINLINE BIBLE, LARGE PRINT CLOTH OVERBOARD

Thomas Nelson has just released The King James Version Bible. “Oh!” You might be saying. “They always put out King James Bible, I have one.” But what you do not have is a: KJV THINLINE BIBLE,  Large Print Cloth Cover board in Black/ Gray Red letter edition. And if you like taking your Bible with you to church, or when you visit then you want this. This edition also comes in a green cloth cover, which looks cute but I like this one.

I can tell you that it really is cloth! I got the black part dirty and had to clean it with a damp cloth.

This King James Bible has a classic look to it. I like the weight and its’ clean, nothing fancy, cover. When you open the book the first page is the standard presentation page: to, from etcetera. As you open it up to the books of the Bible you can actually see the words, the font is great. No, I cannot read it without my glasses but I can hold the Book at a reasonable distance and still see the words. What I really appreciate is the ability to actually read the maps! 

I don’t recall other large print Bibles having maps in which you could read all of the places. (Again, no squinty eyes.)

An important note at the back of the book: “The Bible was set in the Thomas Nelson KJV Font, a typeface commissioned by Thomas Nelson Publishers and designed in Aarhus by Klaus Krogh and Heidi Rand Sorensons of 2K/DENMARK.”  Yes, this is a unique font for a very special book and I for one am glad.

This is a very readable King James Version of the Bible that is not oversized.  xxx Marsha L F Randolph
