Interesting - NIV Bible

grandma2pkmh — Sat, 06 Apr 2019 16:19:00 GMT

I wanted to take a closer look at the NIV Rainbow Bible the Q is selling - F11786 because my granddaughter's was stolen recently. You cannot read any word on the pages even after increasing the image. Why blur them? If you are going to sell it let us see it in full.

@grandma2pkmh I have the KJV (which I prefer~closest translation) rainbow Bible. I am actually on my second one. My DH also has one. We really like them alot and I would highly recommend them.

You may want to check Amazon. That is where we bought ours. They are leather bound. HTH

If you watch the video - you can see close-up images of the pages between the 2 and 3 minute marks. It may be a copyright issue that they can't show the text in photos.

Personally - that multi-color highlighting would drive me nuts, and interfere with my own notations and highlighting. (I prefer the Douay Rheims translation, and have two other translations: the NRSV and the Didache Bble which has commentaries keyed to the Catholic Catechism.)

Something seems to be wonky with the enlarge feature on this item. It has no place for me to zoom in, like normal.

That said, I find the enlarged views inadequate for a lot of items. I would like to be able to zoom in as far as I want. You can only zoom so far the way it is now.

This is an item QVC is selling so I don’t see why it can’t be discussed.

@sidsmom

I am just guessing here, but perhaps because they are actually selling this item.

The greeting wasn't in English ,and I think that was part of the problem. We are not suppose to speak other languages, here. The moderators need to know what people are posting about

@cherry

Ok. And, if I’m not mistaken, didn’t you start that thread?

I thought it was very nice. 🌼💛

We need more good natured blessings like that.

Yes I did @sidsmom and frankly, I was shocked they took it down. Years ago, they were red hot ,about deleting anything ,not posted in English. I hope that was their only reason for deleting that thread...I am only guessing

You're welcome, @Oznell . I wanted to also mention about the colors. They are very muted and don't interfere at all with your reading or note taking.

Well, they have apparenty taken the Bible off as a for sale item. It doesn't come up if you search for it by name, and if you use the item number it says it is no longer available.

Amazon has tons of them in lots of formats, and so does allbibles (one word) which I think has better prices and I've ordered from them before. Good luck!

Christian Book Distributors (CBD dot com) has a huge selection of Bibles - different versions, etc. Their prices are good too.

When I was watching the presentation, they were close to selling out. Less than 1,000 total of all four colors. That could account for why it can't be found.

I really like what they have, but must agree with one of the other posters that all that color was a bit much and would probably slow me down in reading. I'm okay when they put Jesus' words in red in the New Testament, but from the little bit I could see during the presentation, it was a little too busy looking.

Why would you buy a Bible from ANY TV Shopping Channel? Aren't there religious book stores somewhere in your area? Don't some book stores have "religion" sections? What's with the color coding and the rest of that stuff. You can find ANY version of ANY Bible in a store where you can see what you're buying. I'll bet even Amazon has what you're looking for.

@Cats3000 Why do any of us buy anything from a tv shopping channel? Because we see something we want and decide to purchase. It's the same thing as if you are in a store.

The color coding is nice because it defines different topics: God, discipleship, love, faith, sin, Satan, salvation, family, witnessing, commandments, history, prophecy.

That makes it easy to go through and find a topic and read if you for instance want to read about faith or love one day. So it is a great way to just dip in and find verses that are related to something on your mind.

The colors aren't dark enough to really be a problem.

Why not?

I bought a Bible off eBay one time when I was out of town for a few weeks.
