Summary: Paragraphs!!!
Comment: I'm so tired of Bibles that have every verse offset. This gets really annoying in the Epistles, especially when the sentence continues through several verses. As well, offset verses are horrible for reading aloud, specifically in public.
Modern versions such as the NIV and the ESV are only available in paragraph format. Would that other publishers would catch on. I own four or five copies of the NKJV, and this is the only one I actually use on a regular basis. "The New Geneva Study Bible" is in paragraph format, but the notes can be distracting for your basic Bible-reading. The rest have offset verses. Blech!
If they would just make the thinlines in paragraph format, I'd have the perfect Bible. For now, however, this edition does it the best. I recommend you buy several; if they wear out with use, you'll always have an extra!

Summary: unique
Comment: This edition of the New King James Bible sort of jumps out of the store shelves at you. It is obviously paperback (though the cover is made of an attractive, sort of nylonish coated paper for durability, and there's also a thick page separating the title page and last page of the book from the two covers which gives it a further feel of being more durable than the average paperback), but for a paperback Bible it's the best of the lot. It's the just right dimensions as well. It has black print, easy-to-read type which is very inviting also. The translation itself is the one many of the King James only types settle for as being the next best thing to the inspired King James. It was translated from the same manuscript sources. (The NIV and the New American Standard Bible were translated from more modern, critically edited manuscripts that many believe distort the actual Word of God in places, but that argument often hinges on very small and few changes.) Some editions of Bibles are just more inviting to pick up and start reading, and this one falls into the very inviting category.

Summary: Affordable edition of a good translation.
Comment: In the realm of Bible translation, the New King James Version is among the best of the crop. Truer to its sources (its main issue being that it chooses not to use the most modern sources available to Bible scholars today) than the popular NIV, and more readable than the New American Standard Bible or the King James Version, the NKJV is simply a good translation for reading or study, and one of my favorites. It is comfortable for those raised on the KJV (people who were have told me so), and at the same time good for those who have not read the KJV since they could read.
The modest Reader's Edition is simple, graphically appealing, and contains a minimum of extra material. It's presented in an attractive, readable font, and is a respectable Bible for personal or study use. If you know someone with a spiritual hunger or thirst, this NKJV may be just the solution, as long as it's taken seriously in regular doses. Worth it all the way.
