The Humble Lamb Shepherd might be the best NKJV Bible out there. I already had the Shepherd in Sahara Blue Goatskin with the fore-edge gilt 1, which displays Jesus walking on water to rescue His lamb from the wolf. But I had to try the concept of Humble Lamb’s black wool goatskin color way with the second fore-edge gilt option, and it did not disappoint! The black goatskin looks amazing with the full grain leather, you can see the pebbles in the leather so clearly and it’s such a slick look. The white interior goatskin liner looks amazing, in fact I would love to see Humble Lamb try using this white as an external cover. The white liner background looks so awesome as your read the text! It is so unique!
I was surprised, but I liked the second fore-edge gilt even better than the first, which is saying something because Jesus walking on water is my favorite Bible story. The second gilt shows Jesus holding the lamb with His shepherd’s staff held high and a beaming light glowing about Him as He rescues His lamb from 3 wolves. It’s a stunning design that is so beautiful to look at as you read.
The Shepherd sports an easy to read 9 point Milo font, the same typeface that Schuyler uses. The blue accents and blue lettering for the words of Christ in these refreshed Shepherd editions is my favorite colored typeface. Reading the New Testament and seeing all of the blue lettering mixed with the art from Gustave Dore and the white goatskin liner background with the fore-edge gilt makes for an incredible reading experience. Humble Lamb is all about maximizing the reading experience, and there is no comparison out there to reading from a Humble Lamb Bible. It simply draws you in and makes you want to read it!
Humble Lamb also donates a standard Bible to a child in India for every Humble Lamb Bible purchased, so when you buy a Bible from Humble Lamb, you support missions.
These Bibles make for amazing birthday and Christmas gifts. If you gift one of these Bibles to someone, it will forever be remembered as one of their favorite gifts, I guarantee it!
Humble Lamb is quickly rising to the very top of the Bible publishing world. I highly recommend their Bibles!
