As I was reading your web site I saw you are in Sweetwater. Im thinking that is close to Athens where I have a friend who ministers in that area named Phillip Gordon.

I'm about 13 miles from Athens. Athens is my home town. I'm not familiar with Philip. Do you know the name of his Church? Does he have a website?

I'm not a preacher, but my favorite study Bible is one called the Special Study Edition. It's a large print black Bible with a depiction of a sword on the front. I cannot locate the name of the publisher (in fact, the preface is simply signed as "The publisher"), but I think this is the same one.

It looks virtually identical to mine. One thing I love about it is that they've (suggestively) added red letter text to the OT, where God is speaking. Also, there's a vast amount of reference materials throughout, and in both the front and back of the Bible. I also like using the Thompson Chain Reference, as well.

As for my pastor, I'm sure he has a number of Bibles available to him, but when he preaches or teaches, he prefers his iPad.

Nice! I've looked at that one online a few times. I like the idea of red letter in the OT. Thanks for sharing. I've started using a laptop for me notes, but I still like reading from a printed Bible. One day I might be brave enough to try a tablet.

My sister goes there. We live in separate towns, but I'll try to visit there with her.

I don't use a large size print...yet. I do use a Scofield reference Bible. I almost never read or use the notes. It was a gift to me when I was in college. It has lasted 30 years, and hopefully it will last another 30 years.

I bought a Scofield over 30 years ago because my dad had one. I cross out the notes, write notes arguing with the notes and like you just not use the notes! I've looked at getting a new bible but could never decide. I'll use my wife's Thompson chain and I have a paperback NKJV that I like to just read from. I always liked the center column reference. I may someday just get another new Scofield. Any suggestions?
