Best of 2024 🏆 Top 10 Bibles of the Year

[@rosa632]

My husband gifted me the ESV Spiral Bound Journaling Bible Set. He received a great deal @ $75 for the set. I’m looking forward to reading through and writing down my prayers in them. I plan to pass them down to my children. I would appreciate hearing more about the translations in the coming New Year. Thanks for sharing all you do, Tim!

[@22prathu]

Tim, please do video for the upcoming bibles of 2025, from different publishers..

[@TNMedic25]

He will be should be one of his next videos and one of his 1st for the new year.

[@raykoehler5234]

Someone didn't watch the video 😂

[@22prathu]

​@@raykoehler5234 no brother, I already posted this comment yesterday..

[@joshuagarza0623]

Yes, I would like the NRSVUE review

[@Jwyatt132002]

Just bought my first Schuyler because of this channel. Can't wait for it to get here. Thank you for all that you do. Hope you have a blessed New Year.

[@Mike_W78]

Thanks for a great year of bibles. It’s fun being part of the community as it grows. Love the passion and desire to share the word of God with the world. One day maybe I’ll win won of those beauties. Here’s to many more years.

[@Manateesmile66]

That green Schuyler PSQ is beautiful! Humble lamb is my favorite. Because of your channel, Tim, I will be anxiously awaiting my new NLT SonRise in 2025. Happy new year🎉❤🌟🙏🏼

[@jasonmathews8741]

I have the NRSV and the Humble Lamb KJV. Happy New Year and thanks for bringing the Holy Bible to those who are seeking.

[@tabbylynn4130]

Again Thank you to all donors and Mr and Mrs Wildsmith. I’m so sorry about your fur baby. God bless you both, donors and everyone who reads this. This is such a heart warming channel. I pray everyone has a blessed , safe New Year.

[@ledonnawallace2062]

I just found your channel this year. It has been a blessing to me. Thank you for explaining the differences in translations and formats and publishers. It has enriched my Bible reading and study so much. We are planning a day with the Bible at my church because of you where we’re going to share your bookand some things that people can look for to help engage with their Bible more. Thank you for that inspiration. God bless.❤

[@DeweyLewis4JC]

The LSB PPR is my favorite from this year! The Trinity Knot design is my favorite!

[@Elisa-b3e]

Gave myself the Oswald Chambers Bible for Christmas 💙🎄🎁

[@DanielSteel1999]

God has truly blessed us with so many great Bibles, from cheap to premium! May 2025 be another great year for Bibles! My favorite of the year was the KJV Lion Refresh. I love the improvements!

[@joyg7575]

That was great! I think I would pick the CSB single column in the slate for my #1 of all your picks. Thanks for another great video!

[@ChrisSheridan-k9z]

Soooo many beautiful bibles this year !! Thank you for bringing them to us. Same favorite for me - a beautiful bible!

[@erlyne0]

My favorite of the bunch is the ESV spiral journaling Bible. It's a great layout for study notes, art journaling, and more.

[@GINZO4849]

My favorite and daily reader is the Holman OC MUFHH CSB. I have MUFHH but I forget to read it. Now as part of my read through I have it and never miss a day. The Bible is beautiful and so well made. I love it! I wouldn't have found it without Tim. Thank you Tim and many Blessings throughout the New Year. You are a national treasure.

[@logiberra418]

My favorite bible this year is definitely the refreshed NKJV Shepherd FY. It is absolutely beautiful, and as you say Tim, it draws me in to reading Holy Scripture!

[@jacksonbooth2462]

Hi Tim, Love your channel and feel blessed to actually own and use the 4 of the 5 Bibles you have vertically portrayed behind you on your left. They are true masterpieces.

[@betanine]

Thank you for your channel, Tim. Your channel encourages me each week. Unlike tech videos that leave me feeling a need to acquire what I don’t have, your videos give me peace, reminding me that we have access to God’s message to us. There are amazing publishers making beautiful Bibles and one day I will invest in one. But today, and each video reminds me, it’s all about God being available for a personal connection with me each day. The words don’t truly do justice to the encouragement I get. Thank you.

[@armandocastro4548]

Thank you, brother!!!! Have a blessed 2025!!

[@dedmanraizd]

For translation Tuesday reviewing the updated edition would be a good video 👍🏼

[@lizardwanderer]

We love you and Becca! Thanks so much for all the cool info and fun!

[@BackSeatDriver68]

The blue goatskin LSB PPR (just like the one you showed at #8) is my favorite daily-carry Bible. The CSB Oswald is the most beautiful new Bible layout and presentation I’ve seen this year. Gotta love the unique copper look. The one I’d suggest adding to your list is the Allan 1863 Longprimer Sovereign Desk Edition in Purple Highland Goatskin over hard boards with purple antiquarian style page edges. She’s a beauty!

[@rondiehl7719]

I would like to hear your thoughts on the NRSVue translation.

[@tstudy84]

Yes, I would like a NRSVue review. Cuz thinking of getting the Cambridge with apocrypha

[@dloveofgod8269]

Thank you for sharing your favorites Tim; I would've voted the black pearl cover . Blessings to you and Becca Happy, healthy 2025 🙏

[@patrickhanly7458]

We are close! My favorite premium bible this year is the Schyler ESV PSQ/MSQ in Tuscany calfskin. The ESV is my preferred translation (along with the NASB), and I love the two-column format with bottom page cross references, the unique line spacing that does make it easier to read and I think the drop caps are beautiful. I love the size and Tuscany calfskin might be the nicest bible leather I have ever seen (and I have several goatskin premium bibles).

[@davidkelley8220]

Great video. Looking forward to the upcoming Bibles of 2025 video. Are you going to do a video on the top sold Bibles list of 2024? Appreciate your videos!

[@suedatesman5616]

All of them are great. But I’m with you my number one is the NLT PSQ green calfskin!! It’s perfect!!😊😊

[@ryanmkick]

Interesting, the NRSVue is my clear favorite of the NRSV line

[@airangel2992]

And that’s a wrap! Looking forward to 2025! God bless you and Becca in the year ahead. Thank you for this ministry and for all the wonderful content. Happy New Year.

[@isactoriguevara6030]

KJV Lion Refresh Limited Edition in London Red. Fell in love with it! Thank you for all your videos!

[@Curious2119]

I was able to pickup an LSB PPR 5 solas and I absolutely love that Bible!

[@starinoz]

Thanks Tim. Looking forward to all the good things in 2025. Have a Happy New Year.

[@lizardwanderer]

I got the scripture journals and I love them!

[@EnglishmanInFlorida]

Another very helpful video. Thanks Tim. I think for many, a premium Bible is a one-time deal, so getting just the right one is an important investment

[@67MercuryXR7]

My fav of 2024 was the LSB Portable Paragraph Reference edition. Absolutely love it and it pairs perfectly with the Giant Print Reference edition for home. I may already know my 2025 favorite though, I have a Schuyler PSQ NKJV Saddle Brown Aniline Calfskin Zipper edition on preorder. I think it’s gonna be my #1 travel Bible.

[@CharlesLN]

Mine this year has been the Holman Handcrafted Personal size dual column Burgandy. Though to me this is more of a compact.

[@geoffreyverkade8760]

LSB PPR was my favorite. I got it in the black calfskin and it is a loaded home run. I would probably be most interest in the CSB single column as a second. I did pick up their pastors Bible from a couple years back which is similar conceptually but larger format, and really enjoy the translation and single column approach.

[@Rick-1662]

Have a wonderful new year 👍👍👏👏

[@carmennooner2027]

Steadfast is doing an amazing job. I have discovered that I am enjoying the LSB, perhaps because it's so very close to the NASB. I continue to have the Oswald Chambers Bible in my wishlist, but I haven't pulled the plug yet. I have a Bible obsession (addiction?) so I need to make absolutely sure the Bible I have sitting in waiting is one I am sure I will use.

[@guymontag349]

Good choices, Tim. My favorite Bible of the year is the Cambridge CSB Diadem. I also love the Humble Lamb KJV Lion Refresh and NKJV Shepherd Refresh. I just recently purchased the Cambridge NRSVue in leather that you listed as #10. Since I just acquired it, I haven't read too much yet but it looks and feels wonderful. I'd very much appreciate it if you could review this edition in a future video. Happy New Year to you and Becca!

[@monicaaleixo5378]

Hi Tim, thank you. I always enjoy watching your videos. I have to say that since I started following you I have bought more Bibles than I ever thought I would ever buy. I’m glad I did because each one offers something different and special. My favorite one this year is the Oswald Chambers. Looking forward to what’s coming up this upcoming new year. Happy New Year!!! 🎆

[@JenniferCassidy-q5g]

Another great video, Tim. Thank you. I found your channel because I own several more affordable Bibles in different versions with trutone covers that all fall apart horribly. The covers of all of them peel and flake. Maybe its just me. I was on a hunt for something better and I found your channel. I have really really enjoyed learning from you and have decided I'll just have to start saving my pennies for a premium edition. I think my favorites are the Schuyler NLT or the Holman CSB but honestly so hard to choose with so many publishers doing such great things.

[@kevin_d_cook]

Thank you for an awesome year of content, Tim!

[@maureenharrah931]

I knew your favorite was going to be the NLT.... I am loving reading different translations through this past year. I think I might like the CSB maroon and grey ones from Holman! I do hope for a Humble Lamb at some point....when the fonts get a WEE BIT LARGER. Older eyes need help. Happy New Year! I did buy Becca's fave this past year and REALLY enjoy it. I see more purchases in the future because I think it is a perfect gifting Bible. I love your channel!

[@Creationhorse]

I think I would like the new Esv Heritage. I haven't gotten one because I have the old version that is smaller. But I think I'd prefer the new one because it has wider margins for some notes.

[@sharonlee2010]

Thanks so much for all you do, Tim! 👍🏼🙏🏼📖

[@davidgoodwin6997]

The KJV lion is my favorite. My wife just got one for Christmas, and it’s amazing

[@joegonzales9053]

Looking forward to another great video! I have no first hand experience with any premium bibles, but my top 3 favorite I have seen on your channel are the Schuyler Stridon ESV in black pearl (Arghhh! lol), The Humble Lamb NASB History in Lunar Yellow, and the Crossway ESV Verse-by-Verse preaching bible in black goatskin. I look forward to seeing you top bibles of 2024!

[@jaybunner87]

I really enjoyed your book Tim! Great job. I learned a lot!

[@timwildsmith]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jaybunner87]

@timwildsmith You're welcome!

[@vsaharc]

Great video! Blessed new year!

[@AriannaBollinger]

That NLT is beautiful!

[@Dr.Mike.Rev.Napier]

Thank you Tim you are amazing

[@kimgoodson1969]

I love the Humble Lamb KJV refresh too! I’ve ordered the NLT from Humble Lamb coming soon!

[@andrewr022488]

I bought the Holman CSB Men of Character Bible in the genuine leather cover and aside from there not being red letter text, I love it! It’s thumb indexed, gives great breakdowns on various male characters throughout the Bible and honestly it is a Bible that just makes me feel happy when I hold or use it!

[@doglover7675]

Congrats to all the Bible winners! I purchased Tim's book. I can vouch for it. Its a fantastic/clear/concise read - I swear I can "hear" Tim reading it to me. No, it is not the audio version. Lol. Merry Christmas, and Happy 2025 everyone!

[@lunalight7358]

Thank You, Tim!

[@debbietanengsy7823]

Love your content!

[@kylespringer4960]

Yes I would like to know what you think about the nrsvue

[@ancientxtitan9313]

Checkout the NIV, Lucado Encouraging Word Bible! I love it!

[@charlesterviel5748]

Thank YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. Happy new year! Ruth

[@JesusLovesYouPerfectly]

i have the refreshed KJV Lion in Lunar Yellow with the Lion-Snake fore-edge guilt

[@juliathomas3380]

Have a wonderful new year!

[@philtheo]

The CSB Single-Column Personal Size Bible in the Holman Handcrafted Collection is truly awesome! 😊There's also the exact same Single-Column Personal Size Bible in the Holman Handcrafted Collection for the NASB 2020 as well which I think is equally awesome. As an aside, I think the NASB 2020 is underrated. For one thing, it is surprisingly (to me) very readable. At the very least, unlike the previous NASB77 and NASB95 which might have been fairly accused of being wooden and stilted, I don't think the charge of woodenness holds much water with the NASB 2020. In fact, though many people compare the CSB with the NIV, or sometimes the CSB with the ESV, I think a more apt comparison is between the CSB and the NASB 2020. That is, the NASB 2020 complements the CSB quite well in that both are highly reliable and highly readable, with the CSB being a bit more on the readable end than the NASB 2020, and the NASB 2020 being a bit more on the reliable end than the CSB, but they both work well with one another. Just my opinion, that's all. 😊

[@richardvoogd705]

One of my new favourites is a CSB personal size single column Bible.

[@Lando_P1]

Tim, I’m going to stick around for every giveaway forever and ever until I win a Schuyler NLT or Humble Lamb NLT. 😊

[@matthewsarahplyler7304]

Great video, Tim! Love your insight! Have a great rest of the year

[@donnastucky5576]

I bought the Blue NLT Women’s Bible-#9 on your list- after you first reviewed it. I Love it!

[@derekgirldad]

Favorite Bible of the year is ESV olive green PSQ ❤ Makes me feel fancy 😃

[@tracil2263]

Thank you Tim for all you do. I love watching your videos

[@scotthixson111]

Schuylers psq's were always closer to compact sized.

[@Tzuriah]

Thanks Tim! Looking forward to what’s coming next year (Lord willing😊).

[@kapirk2244]

Thank you! And Happy New Year!

[@ayetizzo]

Mark Ward has an NRSVue review.

[@biancopus]

Happy NEW year!

[@wildautoharp]

Wow! You really DID have a great year, din'tja? Your #1 was also my #1....but of ALL TIME, and I've been buying TOO MANY bibles of late, so I'm going to stop now. (Riiiight...) But seriously. I was getting a little tired of myself. I have never been a "collector". I was just looking for the one Bible to Rule them all, and found it in the "MSQ"...but in the ESV Edition. And my #2 favorite is the PPR LSV (In Cowhide, for me). So those two will be my go-to's. Anything else I do, I can do in my OliveTree software, which has ballooned to a lot of titles! But THANK YOU for your ministry. I'll keep on watching. My best to you and yours.

[@JBass33]

Thank you for listing the price of the Bibles you are discussing. It is very helpful.

[@Ladydarlene17plus]

Nice collection of your top 10

[@UNAJacob1985]

Humble Lambs Shepherd Refresh is my #1, absolutely stunning.

[@thecinnamontraveler869]

I cannot tell at all that Tim likes Single column hahaha

[@DonnaLamb-y9u]

I am very new to your channel. I came across it by accident while looking at some other Christian subscribers that look at and I’m very interested in finding a good study Bible to be totally honest. I know a lot about the Bible. I’ve read it and read it many many times very familiar with many verses, but never really understood how to study it and put the context in Waze that relate to every day stuff and I was just wondering if you had any suggestions of a good one I have amplified Bible I have many versions because I have studied some of the Bible through college but not the way I want to study it for personal study. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. I found your channel by accident and then really enjoying your reviews that is helped me some. I just wanted to know if there was any other good suggestions you would possibly have, thank you so much and thank you for your content. Enjoy it very much.

[@kaitlinsitton6075]

I would love a video comparing the She Reads Truth Bible to the He Reads Truth Bible. The difference is astounding and belittling to the intelligence of women.

[@saranovaa]

Got the Oswald chambers after your review! My first premium Bible 😊

[@JesusLovesYouPerfectly]

--- Big Hugs --- to both Tim and Becca Wildsmith

[@Matt-hq8nu]

Id like to know how his ordination bible is holding up?

[@kellywade7821]

I love all the Bibles. But when I saw your review for the Humble Lamb History nasb bible, I had to get it. 2020 nasb, not really crazy about, but I love the art. It so handy, I carry it everywhere. I live the layout where you can just continue to read without large breaks on the page. Its just become my best friend. Humble Lamb, if you do a makeover, use the nasb 95 or Legacy PLEASE.

[@MM-jf1me]

I would like to hear your take on the NRSVue -- maybe a "the good, the bad, the ugly" type review? 😂 I think it does a great job getting many things right even as I think it definitely has room for improvement.

[@Tax_Buster]

I was hoping and expecting the premium Ascension RSV-2CE Great Adventure Catholic Bible (2nd Edition) to be in the top 5 especially since it’s the first truly premium Catholic Bible ever made.

[@peterbagler]

Schuyler NLT PSQ in classic black goatskin is my #1

[@davidmason6286]

It’s not from this year, but I love the Evangelical Study Bible in NKJV.

[@brianbennett8294]

Tim, have you done a review on the evidence bible by living waters?

[@subwayjrod1]

2025 Wish list: Anything from Allan ESV in Brown, my goodness it's been a two year drought. Thomas Nelson Premier ESV. TN Premier is my favorite, the blue they used in the MacArthur Study Bible is far and away the nicest I've seen.

[@desireegrosgebauer6526]

I really love my old CSB single column and would love a marbled calfskin,but I believe they shrunk the little bit of margin it had, or is that my imagination?

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

That’s a cool long sleeve shirt, too. Mind if I ask the brand? Thanks!

[@kumquat0910]

I would love to hear your thoughts on the NRSVue on a translation Tuesday. I too am a big fan of the 89 (it's what my church uses) and do not "love" the updated edition...but I don't know if I really have legitimate reasons to dislike it or I'm just uncomfortable with the change to something I've grown used to.

[@flowerlass]

We love you and Becca, too! ❤❤❤

[@sydneygray1331]

Hey there! I am new to your channel but I can’t find it if you have it. Did you ever do a best kids Bible video? Thanks!

[@loristuart7371]

I love the Humble Lamb Bible ❤ I am hoping to save enough money to get one. 😊

[@noahwatson260]

Should I buy an ESV Quentel or is something new coming soon Tim?!?

[@Ladydarlene17plus]

You two are such a beautiful couple...😊
