## Introduction of the three Bibles - The idea of having one Bible that meets all needs is romantic, but it is not necessary, as individuals can have multiple Bibles for different purposes, such as reading, teaching, or writing, and this concept will be explored with three [[New King James Version]] Bibles [(00:00:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=15s). - These three Bibles are categorized into a reader, an expositor or teaching Bible, and a writer's Bible, each serving a unique purpose, and they are all produced by [[Thomas Nelson (publisher) | Thomas Nelson]] [(00:01:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=77s). - The first Bible, categorized as a good reader, is the single column reference Bible, which has a clean design with references that are out of the way, making it ideal for devotional reading, and it features a beautiful brown goat skin cover and a single-column text block [(00:02:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=165s). - The single column reference Bible has a paragraph format, red accent markers, and a poetic setting, making it great for reading, and it also has three double-sided ribbons, perimeter stitching, and an edge-lined goat skin leather cover [(00:02:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=170s). - The three Bibles are all part of the New King James Version and are designed to complement each other, with two of them being part of the Premiere Collection, and they will be reviewed and compared to demonstrate how they can work together [(00:01:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=62s). ## Reader Bible - The first Bible is a black letter text with a clear and readable comfort print font, making it a great companion for reading, and it has references on the side, which can be helpful for looking up connected scriptures [(00:04:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=294s). ## Expositor/Teaching Bible - The second Bible, referred to as the expositor or preacher Bible, has a verse-by-verse format with center column references, a beautiful brown goat skin cover, and a thinner design, making it a great layout for preaching, teaching, or following along [(00:05:34)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=334s). - This expositor Bible is a red letter text, which can be helpful for indicating Jesus' words at a glance, and it has a robust concordance and maps in the back, making it a great Bible for preaching and teaching [(00:07:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=420s). ## Writer Bible - The third Bible is the NKJV large print wide margin reference edition, also known as the writer's Bible, which is a verse-by-verse and red letter text with a wide margin for note-taking, a generous margin space, and references at the bottom [(00:07:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=479s). - The writer's Bible has a similar look to the Cambridge wide margin, but with a larger font size, and it would be improved by removing the references at the bottom to provide more writing space [(00:09:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=560s). - The layout of one of the NKJV Bibles is considered beautiful for writing notes, and it has been tested with a Pigma Micron pen, which holds up well with minimal ghosting [(00:09:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=596s). - A useful hack for writers is to test how a certain pen performs on Bible paper by doing a little pen test in the margin of the first page of the concordance, which is located in the back of the Bible [(00:10:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=631s). ## Conclusion and Call to Action - The three NKJV Bibles are considered amazing companions to one another, and they can work well for different applications, such as a reader, a preacher or expositor, and a writer, making them a great setup for New King James fans [(00:11:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=667s). - The Bibles will have links provided below for those who are interested in purchasing them, and viewers are encouraged to like the video, subscribe, and leave a comment if they enjoy content like this [(00:11:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo&t=686s). ## Sources - [website](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLOkdg9FIo?si=Furj9jqC1OKzDmXU)
