Spiritual Warfare Bible
This is an excellent Bible. I like the leather cover and the 3 black marker ribbons. The text and font size are just the right size. And of course, the commentary on spiritual warfare is thorough, but not overly scholarly, and the notes are included throughout the Bible so they are not overwhelming. I would definitely recommend this Bible to anyone.

Spiritual Warfare Bible
The day it arrived I read the introductory notes. That is the key to understanding a topic of which I am familiar but would prefer to ignore because I am afraid of the truth.

My new armor
I have wanted this for a long time . I just got it for my birthday and its even better than I had imagined . It feels soft yet durable, and is THICK. I has a ton of pages ( 50 or more not sure) from the actual Manual for spiritual Warfare , and has several breathtaking pieces of art as well. Even if you dont own the smaller manual this gives you the main points of that book but in big print and on glossy paper. It is the revised stand version of the bible but with many tips that honestly may save your soul. The print is large and black. Easy to read. Jesus words are in red. It is a joy to read. Its bold and heavy. When I hold it , it feels powerful. I love the little extrs touches such as 3 ribbons for page marking, and really nice sparkly silver on the edges of the pages. Gives it a look of steel. Honestly , you cant go wrong with this edition. If you are looking for a bible that is big, bold, unique, and has extra tips to defeat the evil in your life, look no further

A Good Bible with Larger Print
This is a very beautiful Bible with a very good typeset and font size for folks getting a little older. The whole Bible is beautiful and the inserts around spiritual warfare are helpful and beautifully illustrated. There are also 3 ribbon markers, which I find very useful for daily reading and prayers. Overall, this is a very good Bible and wonderful for reading.

My favorite bible for study.
It had been a while since I got a new bible. Once upon a time I had shelves full of them. And my wife insisted I stop buying more. But this year I got two new bibles. And I could not be more thankful. I received this one and the New Testament and Psalms for Men. Both are from Saint Benedict Press. And both are excellent resources. I picked this up to be a new bible on bedside table. This is a beautiful bible. And a very important resource. This volume combines the RSV-CE with excerpts from The Manual For Spiritual Warfare by Paul Thigpen. Over the last 40 years I have owned many bibles. Catholic bibles, evangelical bibles, mainline Christianity bibles. This is one of my favorite bible ever. The bible text is normal thin bible pages. And the inserts are full color on glossy pages. Some of the sections have between one and three topics. The specific inserts are: Scriptures for the Battle Know Your Enemy Know Your Battle Know Your Commander and Comrades Know Your Armor Keep the Enemy Out of the Camp The Our Father is a Battle Cry Know Your Weapons Church Teaching About Spiritual Warfare Confronting the Devil’s Power Words From the Saints About Spiritual Warfare Spiritual Warfare in the Lives of the Saints Prayers for Battle Spiritual Warfare Topical Index of Scripture This is an excellent reading bible. The margins are narrow but the line spacings are ample. You can easily underline or write notes in this bible if that is what you do. The bible also has 3 built in bookmarks. If you are following the bible in a year plan with three sections a day it works perfect. I believe that if you only add 1 more bible to your collection you cannot go wrong by picking this one. This is an excellent resource for all Catholics, and really for all Christians would benefit from this bible.

A Must Have!
This is seriously the best Bible I have right now! It has a nice cover, with silver edge paper, and 3 ribbons. Its large in size. The paper is nice and the inserts are even better. The photos in this Bible are not photocopied, they are high end. I am absolutely in love! I originally seen the inside of this one on Instagram but I wish theyd show it on the website too for those who arent on social media. I can not express enough how much I recommend this!
