Tyndale NLT Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition, Large Print (LeatherLike, Teal Blue, Red Letter) – New Living Translation Bible, Large Print Study Bible for Enhanced Readability

I recently decided to become even more officially middle aged by buying large print Bibles to help with the middle age bonus of worse vision than you already dealt with your whole life. It’s great isn’t it? I decided to take the opportunity to try out new translations as well. I still have almost a dozen options in the house between me and my husband’s collections, but they weren’t meeting my want for an easy to *read* and just *enjoy* the Bible more like a general book to read… they feel more like reading a textbook (NASB, ESV, NET, etc) or they have undergone one too many revisions to where I no longer like what’s currently in print (NIV), or just clunky (AMP, KJV). So I found a free online Parallel Bible website and tried a bunch and the NLT kept being the column that I was most enjoying. It was just easy and comfortable and enjoyable but most of all inviting… I wanted to keep reading without effort, it was just different enough to my “ear” to feel new again without being so new/different to feel foreign (like paraphrase translations like MSG, Passion, the original Living Bible). It also didn’t feel like I was being given a simpler translation like I was a kid (NRIV). This was the Goldilocks translation I wanted as my daily bedside reader. I also really like the NLT’s use of subject/transition headings so you can more easily find specific stories/events and have a better idea of when/where is a good stopping point when reading for leisure. I picked this specific edition for when I want to read with study notes or when I’m researching something. It’s been a long time since I have purchased a Life Application so it’s been nice to see all the new editions. The formatting and use of color has made this much easier to find the Study sections and easier to mentally drop in and out of the Scriptures or to visually ignore the Study parts altogether. As for this printing I find the font size to be comfortable to read the text and the notes. The cover is beautiful and feels sturdy enough. The dimensions are a little bigger than anything else I own, mostly in the thickness. I definitely prefer this supported on a pillow or on a table, especially if I need to jump around in the pages. But it’s tolerable in just my hands for straight through reading. You could take this to church but you’d probably want a purse or satchel to carry it around with. if you want something large print to read in church or take on vacation or to take out in public to read I’d highly recommend the larger print options in the Filament version where the study notes are in a phone app so the physical Bible can be printed in smaller dimensions. That’s also a great way to dive in the read without being distracted or overwhelmed or intimidated by the notes (which is a great gift Bible or starter Bible for a new Believer or first time cover to cover reader). The paper is decent enough quality. It’s a little on the thin side to reduce weight and size of the book. Ghosting is not an issue in good lighting and hardly noticeable with a good clip on book light. In bad lighting you may need to lift up the page you’re reading and let it gently fall back into place so it’s not completely pressed into the underlying page, or use a blank piece of printer or cardstock paper (which doubles as a bookmark) as a blotter page behind the page you’re reading if you’re really sensitive to it. I use pencil and Frixion Pastel Highlighters in Bibles and that works well on this paper with minimal ghosting (especially if you overlap coats) but no bleed through (however, erasing Frixion Highlighter causes the paper to pucker and a faint amount of discoloration will remain). I really think they did a great job of balancing out all the possible pros and cons this kind of print edition has to contend with. The cost seems a little inflated compared with the discounts I often see on their similarly oversized Bibles in other editions but in the end I’m still happy with it because the content is worth it.

This Life Application Study Bible is a truly favorable addition to my spiritual practice. The large print makes reading effortless, and the teal leather-like cover is both beautiful and durable. I appreciate how thoughtfully designed it is—from the three-color interior to the way it lies flat when open. The study notes, character profiles, and maps offer deep, practical guidance that helps me apply scripture to everyday life. It’s not just a Bible—it’s a companion for reflection, growth, and clarity. I especially love the red-letter text for Jesus’s words and the single-column format that keeps my reading focused. Whether I’m seeking wisdom, comfort, or direction, this Bible meets me where I am and gently leads me forward.

The box itself came in with some damage in the corner. But the Bible came in great quality & there’s just something about a brand new Bible that gets me excited!!! Let me just say the print is LARGE LARGE. Love that for easy reading and it’s good on my eyes. I love the insight and notes this Bible has. A true life application Bible that helps me apply the Bible to our lives. It also gives context explaining what some Bible verses mean which helps me bc sometimes I have a hard time understanding what it’s trying to say. It also provides references on other verses in the Bible that will give you an understanding on how the stories in the Bible is connected. All is for the glory of God & giving understand of how all these books in the Bible point to JESUS. I like how it gives a breakdown on who the writers & characters of the Bible are and what lessons you can learn from them. I absolutely love this life application study Bible, would recommend it to anyone. Nothing beats asking the Holy Spirit for wisdom & understanding but this is also a great tool to include in your Bible studies.

The best Bible I have ever owned. I will start with the only negative, if you get a large print as I did it is a chunky baby so if you can read the 8.5 font get that, but the information in this Bible is why. It is chalked full of useful information. I got the teal Bible and it is beautiful. Let us start with the information in each book. It says who wrote it, who they wrote it to and the purpose in the writing. It gives breakdowns of what is actually in the book, the main them of the book, a timeline, and a main key verse. There is a cross reference, a concordance, a dictionary and of course in the commentary a lot of life applications. And something I literally love is the personal information on many key people in the books and info on their personalities. I absolutely loooove this Bible I just wished someone could hold it for me while I read it. I broke down and bought the 8.5 font version and more magnification in my readers. This Bible is the best I have owned so somehow I am going to make this work without having to lug the large print. P.S getting old sucks. I can see the kindle version being a good option for those owning a kindle

Large print !! It is so nice !! ❤❤

La taille d'écriture est parfait et bien sûr le contenu :) Super analyse de la bible . Je la recommande fortement

One of the best Bible. There are so many information which helps to know the Word of God much clear and better way. While I read I am fill with joy and it helps me to closer to my Heaven Father. One can spend more time in this Bible.

As described. Excellent quality. It arrived earlier than expected in perfect condition. This version is perfect, I am in now for a month; I read 1 or 2 pages everyday and I love the explanations and the comments about the actual books. I 100% recommend this version for anyone who has tried reading the Bible before but finds it difficult to understand. This is exactly what I needed and it gives me the extra push I need towards a stronger faith.

Beautiful bible. I have bought this for my mum as i have one and she likes the larger print and the life application that is on each page. Its really easy to read and i would recommend to anyone who wants a good study bible! Also it comes in a box so its protected and in perfect condition upon arrival.
