Just plugging for Local Church Bible Publishers.
I’ve yet to pull the trigger and order one but have heard nothing but good things about them. They are a Dispensational KJVO outfit but the Bibles, the plain reading Bibles, are still worth having a look at. If you are not interested in owning a copy of the Authorized Version the video is still interesting to watch. You can see how much work goes into a good quality Bible.
Just a quick note:
The WRB has been pushed back until late summer but they will accept pre-orders. The hardback versions are $24, and the calfskin edition is $80.This info is from Trinitarian Bible Society USA.Phone:(616) 735-3695 ♦ Fax:(616) 785-7237email: TBSUSA@sbcglobal.net
I’ve tried the “Horner” reading system in the past without much luck but lately I’ve been all over scripture, reading different sections and just digging in. I downloaded the bookmarks again for Grant Horner’s Bible-Reading System and will try it again, trying it out for a month as he suggests and will report back.

KJV still going strong. It’s ranked in the #2 spot for dollar and unit sales.

I rewrote the information sent to me:
TBS is planning to produce 2,000 Westminster Bibles for the first printing, 1,400 in hardcover and 600 leather editions. The 1,400 hardcovers will be split up into 700 black hardcovers and 700 in a multicolour design. The leather editions will be offered in black only. The printing of new Westminster has been postponed until the first quarter in 2012. If this first printing goes well the second printing will offer more variety in numbers of Bibles produced and a variety of bindings.
As reported on the Puritan Board
Quote, REFORMATION HERITAGE BOOKS is excited to announce the planned publication of a new study Bible. Amid the vast array of study Bibles written in the past century, there has not been a single Study Bible using the beloved and trusted King James Version written from a sound Reformed perspective. The KJV Study Bible for Personal and Family Worship (KJVSB) will promote the preservation and use of the KJV while leading the reader into a deeper and richer understanding of the Word of God.
One of its unique strengths will be its focus on personal and family worship. Each book will begin with an introduction that will give not only a clear synopsis of the book, but also will explain how the book fits in the redemptive history of Scripture. In addition to highlighting key interpretational issues and explaining archaic words, the KJVSB will strongly emphasize the application of the Scripture to the heart and life. This “head-heart-hand” focus will speak to both the intellectual as well as the experiential needs of the reader. Unique to the KJVSB are the recommendations and pointers for personal and family worship at the conclusion of every chapter.
The planned publication date for this quality Study Bible is the Fall of 2014. Dr. Joel R. Beeke will serve as the General Editor, Dr. Michael Barrett as Old Testament Editor, and Dr. Jerry Bilkes as New Testament Editor. The following contributors are committed to write on various Bible books: Dr. mark Allison, Dr. Charles Barrett, Dr. Michael Barrett, Dr. Joel Beeke, Dr. Jerry Bilkes, Rev. John Greer, Rev. Pooyan Mehrshahi, Dr. John McKnight, Rev. Alan J. Macgregor, Rev. Maurice Roberts, Rev. David Silversides, Rev. John Thackway, and Rev. Malcolm Watts. All of these men are Reformed in their theology, appreciate the experiential tradition of Reformed theology, and use the KJV in their own pulpit and teaching ministries.
The financial undertaking to produce this study Bible is substantial. To bring this massive project to reality will require the constant prayers and financial support of God’s people. To launch this project we need to raise $250,000 in donations; the remainder of the needed money will come from the actual sales of the Bible when it comes out. We are grateful to report that a generous anonymous donor–for whom we thank the Lord–is willing to match your gift. Thus, if the Lord enables us to raise $125,000, the remaining $125,000 will also be given. In other words, if you give $100 it is as if you are giving $200. If you would like to be a part of this worthwhile project through your donations, please send your gifts to Reformation Heritage Books, 2965 Leonard NE, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49525.
The TBS catalogue has been update. You can read a little blurb about the Westminster Bible here.
I just received the disappointing news that there has been a hold-up in the production of the 25UC’s (Westminster Bible) and it is now expected no earlier than late July.
