Christmas Gift Guide: Bibles

 
You can never lose purchasing a Bible for someone. These days it is fairly easy to find one that will meet your needs and your pocketbook. There are several things to consider while shopping for one. I consider the binding for one thing. Is it leather, is it hardcover, softcover, etc. The possibilities are endless. Then there is translation--King James version, New International version, and many others. You really have a lot to consider age, audience, type--amplified or study Bibles come to mind here.

 When I was a little girl I don't remember there being so many choices. I myself am a new found fan of The Message translation. You really can find one out there that fits your needs or the needs of the one you are buying the Bible for. Listed below are a few I have reviewed either recently or over the years past. If you are interested in any of these Bibles I have included the link for you to learn more about them. Merry Christmas and have a Blessed New Year!
