CSB Pastor's Bible, Black LeatherTouch, Black Letter, Presentation Page, Single-Column, Pastoral Helps and Study Tools, Full-Color Maps, Easy-to-Read Bible Serif Type Imitation Leather – October 1, 2017

The Pastor's CSB is perfectly formatted and constructed for pastoral ministry.Three ribbons are a really helpful feature that I really like because it allows me to mark places in both the OT and NT as I progress through books with one extra ribbon to mark places as I move around the Bible.The size is about the same as my Wide-Margin NASB, and quite a bit bigger than my compact NIV.The margins are not as wide as my NASB, but they are wide enough to make clear notes.The box it comes in is of good construction and I convert the box into a carrying case so that my Bible doesn't get crushed in my backpack or satchel while out doing meetings.The one downside that I've noticed is that the construction in the binding is already tearing a little bit - keep in mind I travel and am in my Bible constantly everyday: I read on the bus while on my way to visit people, I read at meetings, preach from this Bible, study from this Bible (it probably gets 20 to 30 hours of use every week). So this is heavy usage, but it will probably require a rebinding at this rate in 2 to 3 years (I'm ok with that).And the translation is remarkable! My translation combo is the NASB, CSB, NIV, and I am so very happy to have the CSB as one of my primary translations. The consistency and clarity of this translation is incredible. I've found that this Bible is frequently more accurate than the NASB and often as clear as the NIV. You lose some of the underlying structure preserved in the NASB (which is why it is "clunky" reading), but it is easier to spot the translation decisions than the NIV.Lastly, the pastoral helps are good quality and non-intrusive. I like that the "special event" outlines are in the middle, and that the articles are in the back. I have enjoyed and been challenged by the articles. And the "go to passages" have given me something to think about in my pastoral counsel - sometimes even challenging me to think deeper on certain passages about how they can be applied to different situations.

This booklet is so great. Very understandable and tells of the wonderful story about David.

I'd like to see the CSB, or any others for that matter, written in the style that this is, but be a study bible.

Great quality. Very good source for young pastor

This Bible is very nice print and easy to read. My only issue is the cover cracked easily and early into my use of it.

I purchased this for my husband, and he loves it.

I got this for my Hubby who is a pastor and he uses it for Sunday sermons.Has a nice smooth exterior and sturdy binding, the multiple ribbon page markers make it convenient.

Beautiful Bible. Highly recommend.
