Agreed, let's all be nice! Thanks for the unboxings and reviews :)

[@timwildsmith]

😉🙏🏼❤️

[@carmennooner2027]

When you do your thorough review, would you please explain what Maclaren is? I haven't heard/seen one before. Thank you. :)

[@timwildsmith]

Yes ma’am.

[@joelfields9807]

Thanks for vids and yes let's be nice...we represent Jesus 😊 God bless you!

[@timwildsmith]

Yes! Thank you!

[@chris12780]

We can't please everybody. Just ignore them. You are doing an excellent job. In our country we have a saying, learn the art of deadma. There are different ways to ignore someone without making them feel that they are disrespected. :) God bless

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks, Chris! Good words.

[@philipmelgren4469]

Another great review, thanks Tim. I really appreciate your approach positive, enthusiastic but your passion for the Lord & the Holy Bible is awesome. Please keep it up. Blessings from New Zealand.

[@timwildsmith]

❤️ Thanks, friend.

[@yeishaadhosein6510]

Looking forward to this

[@timwildsmith]

👍🏼❤️

[@adrianalonzo7973]

Looks like an amazing Bible for a rebind.

[@timwildsmith]

Good idea!

[@caomhan84]

This is surprising. Although I don't think I'll be getting one because according to my research they are 10x7 and that's larger than I'm looking for, you have to applaud Thomas Nelson for always coming out with new stuff. I think this is obviously an attempt at a more affordable alternative to the Cambridge Topaz, and apparently more stuff in this range is coming in just a few months. I just want to see the details on this video of the page layout.

[@timwildsmith]

It’s more like 6x9... very nice all the way around.

[@XSevenSonata]

I think I might get the compact one. The 7 pt font doesn't bother me. I'm just a little turned off that although it is a nice bible, there's not really any features. No maps, no reading plan, no concordance or dictionary. There's ribbon markers and blank pages for notes. The price seems high to me because of this, especially for a leathersoft cover.

[@philipwest4553]

Art gilding has red dye under the gold on the page edges.

[@timwildsmith]

Yep... red under gold!

[@hammerbarca6]

Every time you throw a box I cringe 😂 “don’t hurt it!!!”

[@timwildsmith]

Hahaha!

[@nickvasiliades6408]

Bought the leathersoft for a rebind. I'd say I'm pretty happy with that choice as the block looks identical. Good review.

[@timwildsmith]

For sure... and it has a good sewn binding.

[@mendyhand3895]

I hope the NKJV will put out that black goatskin. I saw they were doing a brown genuine leather with hubs...and hopefully, edge lined. Is the brown leather soft one, paper lined or fake leather? Thx! I’ve been checking a lot for this one. I’m sending my widemargin back. Not great for the type of extensive notes that I take. I’ve been using the Hank Hanegraaff NKJV double column, double margins, end vs. refs. It’s GREAT for notes! Thanks again, and YAY Thomas Nelson. Text not exact page nation as Preaching Bible. 🙏🏻👍🤗

[@timwildsmith]

Yes, there’s a black goatskin edition of the NKJV as well.

[@erinjoy8338]

I’m looking to get a new Bible and had no idea there were so many options for leather/raised spines! How will I ever choose lol. Which is your fave ESV that you’ve reviewed?

[@timwildsmith]

Favorite ESV is Four Holy Gospels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpekdWuinKxkqpY

[@gleasonparker1684]

It is great.

[@timwildsmith]

👍🏼

[@elisavintervejr]

Love if you would review a Humble Lamb Bible someday Tim🙌🏻😃

[@timwildsmith]

Me too!!

[@SmithNomadicwonders]

I need your advice! My husband is deployed and I have two premier bibles myself and wanted to get him one as well to surprise him while overseas! He likes NKJV and red letter. What would be your recommendation???

[@timwildsmith]

The new NKJV Large Print Wide Margin Reference Bible is awesome. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoS0mHqNiK98n9E

[@SmithNomadicwonders]

That’s actually one of the ones I have and I LOVE! It’s a little bigger than what he wants. I went back and watched more of your videos and I think he’ll like the Cambridge Topaz in dark green - he loves army green 😉! It has the main things he wants with the red letter and such. Thanks so much for your awesome reviews!!

[@timwildsmith]

@@SmithNomadicwonders You're welcome!!

[@gunnartesdahl9347]

Gotta love those negative comments LOL. You always do a great job!

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks, Gunnar!

[@garythomas3150]

Great unboxing

[@timwildsmith]

So fun!

[@Buzznee8]

Do I have Question? . After you reviews all of the bibles were sent to you. Do you send back or you keep them.

[@timwildsmith]

Every review is different, but I usually keep them or use them for giveaways. Some publishers send me free review copies, others offer discount, and in a lot of cases I purchase the Bibles.

[@jadedoldguy5233]

My copy of this arrived today (KJV, goatskin). As I mentioned elsewhere, I was surprised to see that it did not come wrapped in paper (like the Nelson Premier series), nor does it come with any type of insert (like those little postcard-type inserts) talking about the Bible. More concerning, my copy does not have that wonderful leather smell (like those Premiers do, or the premier ESV preaching bible), or even the Handcrafted Holmans. This one has a rather harsh, almost chemical smell, which I'm assuming is related to what they used to treat the leather. It's harsh, almost headache-inducing as I have it laying here next to me as I type this. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or heard of similar experiences.

[@timwildsmith]

Hmmm... I haven't had any issues with mine.

[@jadedoldguy5233]

@@timwildsmith - Glad to hear it. I reached out to another reviewer on here who confirmed the odor, stating it does go away. Eventually. In the interim, it really is noxious.

[@darellpeters1037]

The gilting, the gilting! 😱

[@timwildsmith]

Yay!!

[@milesrudduck]

Where are these printed?

[@timwildsmith]

China

[@sylviafriessen9124]

Lol nothing wrong with being a bible "sniffer/smeller" ... In fact that is supposed to be very much part of being a leather covered bible owner.. Now if only TN would come out with this EXACT layout of the NKJV in a size 5 by 7.5/8 and include a good sized concordance

[@timwildsmith]

I think there’s a smaller Maclaren in the future plans!

[@sylviafriessen9124]

@@timwildsmith yes i saw that on christianbook but that is not verse by verse in this same layout :-(
