I love the NLT translation。 I read from quite a few other translations， but I am always drawn back to the NLT because of how readable it is， and it is the first translation that I used to read through the whole Bible。 My church also uses the NLT。 So， I was excited to see that Tyndale was coming out with another format of the Filament Bible: a thinline reference。These Bibles are perfect to carry in your purse and bag for church， or wherever else you may be headed。 It is a little bigger than my ha I love the NLT translation。 I read from quite a few other translations， but I am always drawn back to the NLT because of how readable it is， and it is the first translation that I used to read through the whole Bible。 My church also uses the NLT。 So， I was excited to see that Tyndale was coming out with another format of the Filament Bible: a thinline reference。These Bibles are perfect to carry in your purse and bag for church， or wherever else you may be headed。 It is a little bigger than my hand （I have fairly small hands）， and contains the NLT text in a 9 point font。 If that size font is too small for you， they also have a large print thinline that just came out as well （10 point font）， and a giant print edition that is coming out in January （12 point font）。 I have the soft leather-look teal edition， and it has a nice design on the front， with the words "Holy Bible" under the design。 The spine has "Tyndale"， "Holy Bible"， and "NLT on it near the top。 It has a paste down liner， with the same swirl design that you see on the cover。 It is Smyth-sewn， so it lays flat when you are reading it。 It has one single sided satin ribbon in a matching teal/green color。 The pages have really shiny silver gilding。 The text is in a double column format， and it is a red letter text。 What I really like about this Bible is that it is a non-cluttered reading experience。 There is an introduction to the Filament app and NLT translation， and a few fun study aides in the back， but otherwise it is just the text。 That makes it the perfect Bible for reading， or following along with during a sermon。 But， if you want to dig deeper， you have that option because of the Filament app。 You just have to grab your phone or other device， scan the page number with the little Filament symbol beside it， and you have study notes at your fingertips！ The Filament app is free to download， and you get access to 25，000 study notes， over 350 videos， 40+ maps， more than 400 profiles and articles， 1，500 devotionals， and even a library of worship music。 It is everything that you could ever want in a study Bible， plus some！ I especially love the visuals that are included， and the videos from the Bible Project。 The resources in the back of the Bible include a verse finder， and a visual overview of the Bible （includes maps and other graphics）。 Whether you are a new Christian or a seasoned believer， the Filament Bible would make an excellent addition to your library。 It is portable， offers an uncluttered reading experience， and there is a wealth of information available at your fingertips with the Filament app。 If you love the NLT， and want a fresh Bible reading experience， pick up a thinline or large print thinline Filament Bible， or hold out until January for the giant print version。 It will add depth and meaning to your Bible study time！I received a copy of this Bible from Tyndale， in return for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
