Customer Reviews
…and I’ve owned a few. I agonized over whether to buy this Bible or a couple of other premium choices. It came down to two and I ordered both. This HIStory Bible came first and I had it for a few days. I loved it immediately, my only hesitation being I really REALLY wanted the fore-gilt version but, alas, it was sold out. I debated waiting until it came back in stock but the bluish purple under gold gilt is equally stunning, especially against the yellow interior (Humble Lamb people: if you have an amethyst with fore-gilt stashed away and you’d have mercy on a poor sinner I’d very much appreciate it—I would write many reviews on various platforms in return!).
Not only is it beautiful, it’s also a pleasure to hold and read. I love short fat Bibles (I had been using a custom self-bound Clarion) and this Bible sits well in the hand, lays flat enough, the column is not too wide, and the easy to read font all add to the reading experience. Also the color in the drop caps and the headings, the art—all of it makes the reading experience a deep pleasure.
When the second (highly reviewed) Bible arrived a few days later I took it out of the box, held it for a few minutes, and then packed it back up for return. There was no contest.
Thank you for the excellent work you are doing Humble Lamb!
This bible is beautiful and the perfect size to carry with me wherever I go!
This is the most lovely Bible I have ever owned. The custom drop caps, maps & illustrations are incredible! The layout is pretty. The font is great. The gold over blue edges add a great touch. The leather looks feels and smells fantastic. The colors are beautiful and the paper is well made.
I was hesitant to buy this edition as I was afraid the 8.5 point font would be too small for my aging eyes. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is easy to read. The bible itself is the perfect size to just grab and read. Perfect for the nightstand for before bed or first thing in the morning reading. The art edge is beautiful and the leather is top notch. There are a couple of typos and random asterisks dispersed throughout the text but beyond those two nitpick it is a fantastic bible.
This truly is a beautiful Bible. I love the size, the layout and of course, the illustrations. I just wish the font was maybe a little bigger...Anyway. I carry it with me everywhere.
