The NIV Compact Bible is one of the best-selling NIV Bibles. It has a slimmer spine width than the standard edition which makes it ideal for carrying around with you. Extra features include a Bible Guide and a table of weights and measures.
First published in 1979, the New International Version has become the world's best-selling contemporary Bible translation. More than 100 scholars worked for fifteen years to complete it. Their main concern is that the NIV is faithful to the original languages while producing a clear, beautifully written and dignified translation suitable for private and public use. The NIV is sponsored by the International Bible Society who receive a portion of the purchase price of every NIV Bible to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
