This is my first Humble Lamb bible. I have a couple premium bibles from both Schuyler and RL Allan, and this one is right up there with those two publishers as far as high-quality bible construction. It’s my first compact premium bible and was at first a little worried about the thickness of the text block. However, with the slightly thicker Meritian goatskin leather covering the block, I had no worries. I loved the feel of the pebbly but smooth surface of this goatskin. After working it in, this bible is very pliable and manageable for a thick compact bible. I also love the color combination of the lunar yellow against the black accents of the leather liner, the black ribbons and the black page gilding. Yellow & black has always been my favorite color contrasts.
I always give personal names to my bibles and journals, and this one I decided on ‘Beatrix the Blessed’. If you google the name, it is associated with the words “Voyager; Traveler; Blessings”. It’s also a reference to a name of a female character from a secular movie that uses the same color combination along with a samurai sword…lol. Although the movie is far from a Christian one, the image of a character in yellow/black carrying a sword reminds me of the scripture verse from Hebrews 4:12, as the Word of God being sharper than any two-edged sword. Love the fact that the words “The Word Of God” is also present on the spine of this bible!
