This Classic Edition of the Large Print Compact is set apart with a handsome duo-tone bonded leather binding in a format that strikes a marvelous balance between being easy to read and easy to carry. This Holman CSB also slips nicely into a coat pocket, briefcase, purse, or backpack and is a perfect gift for a person on the go who wants to keep the Word on hand at work or wherever they are. The Holman Christian Standard Bible is already being recognized as a model of precision in translation. The result is a translation that is both highly accurate and readable. The translation philosophy employed by the Holman CSB translators is optimal equivalence, more accurate than a thought-forthought translation and more readable than a word-for-word translation.
