I got myself a new everyday Bible for the New Year. The thinline I had been using was coming apart. After much evaluation, I went with the Classic Reference TruTone Chesnut, Eternity Design.
-Although a little bigger than the thinline, it is still small and can easily fit in my computer bag.
-The print is bigger than the thinline (I'm getting old) and much bigger than the attractive Personal Reference Edition.
-It has the center column references.
-The biggest surprise has been how it sticks to our pulpit at Christ Baptist. My old Bible would slide down to the bottom. This one sits right were I want it.
-I love reading in a Bible that has not been marked up and which I'm unfamiliar with where certain passages are on the page. It brings a freshness to my reading. I'm able to underline and circle those things that stand out to me just like I'm reading it for the first time. If you have been using the same Bible for a long time, I recommend getting a new one every couple of years.

"Eternity design" is an interesting way to describe the little doodad on the cover. Maybe it should be named "eternity inside" instead.

I have the same one but not with Eternity design, but it is two tone (like Jonathan's ESV Bible cover but not the big one with the calfskin one).
I got that one on my Birthday in the year of 2007. But I only use it at home when I want to look up the cross reference in that one. I haven't worn out the one that I am currently using and taking it everywhere I go. It is getting mark up but not a lot yet.
I had to laugh at Lisa's comment and I thought about that before I read it. Nothing will last forever but His Word will last forever!

Okay so it strikes me funny that you called yourself old. Dallas and I then must be getting old too. Booo Justin, Boo!
your only old when you have to have reading glasses to keep from carrying a large print edition into the pulpit!
