I’ve reviewed some pretty fabulous products, ones that I’ve been head over heels about. But…
When I learned our family was receiving the Waterproof Bible, I had a feeling we were in for a special treat. My current Bible is really worn, with creased pages and smudges and light stains, so I was really intrigued about this Bible printed on 100% plastic.
The material is both waterproof inside and out? And tear and stain resistant? Really?
Come to find out, thinking it was just special was an understatement – it’s amazing!
The Waterproof Bible Features
I didn’t know what to expect at first and wondered how the pages of this Bible would feel and look like. I even wondered if they would be easy to turn, picturing something as tough and rough.
Here are basic features:
100% synthetic pages
pages are stronger than paper & durable – not glossy, but smooth
and they lay nice & flat!
pages are usable with writing utensils (ballpoint pen, pencil or dry highlighter)
cover comes in variety of colors & can be customized
Bible available in a variety of versions – ESV, NIV, KJV, NKJV, NLT, NASB
Just who could use a Waterproof Bible anyway?
Besides my boys, who were happy to pose — those in the military, anyone who enjoys outdoor activities...think camping, fishing, boating, hunting, and more!…and would like to take the Word along. Or Moms with little kiddos and homes filled with spill-potential just about anywhere.
It’s a Bible made for extreme weather and environments, and an excellent gift-giving idea!
Putting the Waterproof Bible to Test
Yep. We submerged the whole Bible into water! And yes, after wiping it down with a cloth and squeezing it a few times (the water oozed out the sides of the Bible), we laid it to dry. Quickly, within minutes, the pages began to return to normal.
After about 15 minutes, you couldn’t tell it was ever wet. The pages lay flat and everything was dry, dry, dry. Amazing!
My children were excited to prove our new Bible could live up to the claim of being stain-free. We decided on pomegranate juice and orange juice and peanut butter…
Honestly, we all had a hard time at first purposefully spilling stuff on The Bible! :) Around here, God’s Word is given special care and attention. Curiosity won out though, and we were eager to try out the stain-free feature.
The kids had lots of fun making a video (and Mom counted it as a homeschool project). I thought they did a fantastic job!
See how cool? Everything wiped off with NO problem…no stains, no smears, no residue or smudges. This Bible is fantastic! – we’re thrilled to own one. Also check out other reviews from my friends Kim at Not Consumed and Megan at Homeschoolin Mama.
Just think of how you might could use one or gift one to somebody. To sweeten that idea, here’s a FREE shipping code to use when you order a Bible: freeship4 (doesn’t expire until December 31, 2012).
