Without question I’m a AV guy, I love the King James and have used it for most of my Christian life. It’s the translation I read from on a daily basis, study from, where my devotional reading is found, etc. I have multiple editions of the Authorized Version and love every one of them, even my Old Scofield. The number one edition of the AV I use is the Westminster Reference Bible printed by the Trinitarian Bible Society. I own three editions of this Bible and use them at different times. I find it easier to memorize if I use the same Bible even if it’s in different sizes. I’m making this post so you can see the difference in size between the three editions.

I now have five TBS Bibles in total and each one of my children own and have used the leather Winsdor Text editions. What can I say, these are great Bibles for cheap. The binding is solid, the leather is nice and flexible, even the vinyl is of good quality. I know the Large Print Westmister seems HUGE and it is. When I first opened the box I thought it was way too big to take back and forth to church with me but it is a real pleasure to read from. I type this post up in my very low lite basement study area and have no trouble making out the Bible in front of me. It’s just under a 12 point font but the way the text is spaced, coupled with the thickness of the paper allows me to read from it without issue. This is a text I can read and teach from without any issue and I highly recommend it.
Yours in the Lord,
