That one looks NICE!!! I love the look of the new Bibles they have today. This one is mine - it's the ESV Personal Sized Reference Bible. It's PERFECT for putting in my purse or carrying around - VERY easy to carry and it's held up great (I have it over 3 years now and have taken it everywhere with me).

Re: history of the term "Holy Bible"

"Holy Bible" can be traced to I Maccabees 12:9 ta biblia ta hagia

Geneva Bible reads "holy books"; anyone have a recent translation—ESV or NRSV—I wonder how they translate it?
