Alexander Scourby is the narrator for the My-iBible NKJV, which released last month from Hendrickson Publishers. The pocket-sized, voice-only player is loaded with the complete text of the New King James Version, which also includes tools to help retrieve books, chapters and verses. The player retails for $49.95 and includes a charger and earbuds, but can also be hooked up to external speakers.  The Danteck Group released NowBible Color—NIV (Dramatized), the newest in its line of NowBibles with dramatized narration, Oct. 1. The Bible, in a personal digital assistant (PDA), features the New International Version text and allows users to read, listen to the dramatic audio presentation or do both. The text is broken down to verse level using the "Quick Jump" navigation tool. The Bible also includes the Smith and Easton Bible dictionaries, an electronic concordance, a Bible promises section and daily reading plans. Features include the ability to highlight, bookmark or record a note about a verse, repeat playback of a verse, chapter or book, an auto-scroll setting for manual reading, a Bible quiz function and large and giant print display modes. The PDA functions include a Micro-SD card slot supporting up to 4 GB cards for additional storage, MP4 and MP3 compatibility for playing media files and personal information management software with contacts, calendar, task, memo, sketch, voice recorder and more. The NowBible Color retails for $179.99.
NavPress commissioned a third printing of The Message//REMIX: Solo (Pink Edition), weeks ahead of its Sept. 15 release date. The Bible, which aims to promote breast cancer awareness and research, was produced to coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. The publisher partnered with CBA to promote the Bible in a Christian retail channel exclusive and with Dave Dravecky's Outreach of Hope for distribution to cancer patients and survivors. The Message//REMIX: Solo (Pink Edition) retails for $17.99.  Reformation Day, Oct. 31, is the official release date for the hardcover version of The Lutheran Study Bible, but Concordia Publishing House began shipping copies in September to ensure early delivery. The new Bible, with distinctively Lutheran notes, is the result of six and a half years of research, writing, editing and design, and includes input from Lutheran contributors from more than 20 church bodies. The Bible uses the English Standard Version translation and has a wealth of features, including 26,500 study notes; maps, charts and diagrams; 220 articles; and 90,000 cross-references. Introductory retail price for the hardcover is $34.99 through Oct. 31. Other editions, including softcover and leather, are also available.
