This is our classic Tiny Bible in the 1995 New American Standard Bible (NASB). The world hasn’t seen a Bible this size in more than a century, and it’s our pleasure to reintroduce it.
We’ve taken everything we’ve learned about miniature Bible making and applied it to this edition. The cover is black sheepskin leather, and the endpapers are Bible end leaves. The gold foil covers are first heat burnished to protect the foil lettering better. It comes with two blue satin ribbons. The head and tail bands are also blue, complementing the interior blue accents on the chapter and verse numbers. We’ve also added ten black-and-white maps at the back.
Tiny Bible makes a perfect gift for your spouse or loved one. It’s the Bible you know your pastor doesn’t have yet. Many buy them to give to their children or grandchildren as part of their legacy. Some bring them on backpacking trips to enjoy the full word of God around the campfire. Some keep them on their coffee tables as conversation starters. Tiny Bible has been consecrated in burial as the cornerstone of church edifices. It has made its way into military bases and prisons. Because it is highly concealable, it can be taken into some tight places.
Magnifying Glass Lens
Each purchase of this NASB Tiny Bible comes with an 8.5x leather-encased magnifying glass, as pictured. With young eyes, you can read Tiny Bible without this (here’s a video demonstrating), but magnification is a helpful assistance to all ages.
Typesetting
Tiny Bible’s typesetting is by Scribe Inc, a Philadelphia-based company that knows the ins and outs of Bible typesetting. Tiny Bible is typeset in a font family called Edita, which we chose after real-life user testing with several different fonts. Edita has a font style that is particularly designed for small font sizes. Click here to view a sample of the first 5 pages of the gospel of John. Note: Don’t be intimidated by the size! In our experience, the desktop browser preview is smaller than actual real-life page dimensions of 1.93 x 1.46 inches. You can zoom in to have a closer look.
Printing & Binding
At this size, Tiny Bible has to be bound by hand which is very time-consuming. At scale, this is almost unheard of in Western publishing houses. After conversations with numerous Bible printers, we’ve partnered with R.R. Donnelley’s Asia facility to print and bind Tiny Bible. It is smythe-bound (stitch bound) and the cover is made in beautiful black sheepskin.

International Shipping
If your shipping address is outside the United States, our store puts the onus on you to pay import taxes and duties at the time of delivery, rather than charging you up-front at checkout, which means import taxes and duties are not reflected in the cost on this site. Our setup is technically known as delivered-at-place (DAP) incoterms. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The software sticker price for intelligently computing, charging, and remitting import taxes and duties is prohibitively expensive at our size.
Return Policy
Due to Tiny Bible’s highly unusual size, part of the binding process must be done by hand which is normally completed by machines. These human factors may cause rare quality control missteps. We stand by our product, and if for any reason your Tiny Bible arrives defective or damaged, you may return or exchange your purchase within 30 days of its arrival. Please contact us with your order number to begin this process.
I bought one over a month ago, got a waterproof SD card case for it, and pocket carry carry it daily. I've been able to strike up several conversations with it, and with the magnifying glass I'm to read it when I'm out and about.
I ended up buying a second one for a friend that loved mine so much! I'd recommend it as a gift for that one person you can never buy gifts for, or if you want something as an excellent conversation starter. Either way, I've been enjoying mine for a while now, and would highly encourage you to buy one :)
I love this tiny bible so much; It’s really great quality and can be read easily with the magnifying glass. I’m so happy that it came with the magnifying glass. The pages and the leather are really nice and it smells good! It was a happy surprise to see that it had 2 bookmarks instead of the usual single bookmark in most bibles. The gold lettering on the front and spine appear to be great quality as well, not likely to rub off easily from use. If this company plans to make any more versions, I would not hesitate to purchase more of these.
Once I came to faith in 2018 I've been on the lookout for portable, physical travel Bibles. I have a fairly vintage out-of-print World Publishing NASB which is just larger than the palm of my hand and my go-to. This Tiny Bible is on another level. This Tiny Bible is beautifully crafted, looks and smells and feels high quality. The font is a beautiful typeset, very little bleed through of the text. My near eyesight is failing and the magnifying glass is such an integral part of the experience for me and it's surprisingly readable, even with glasses. I love that there are two ribbon markers, something that my World Publishing Bible lacks. So glad it's NASB. It will be my new travel Bible.
I love this tiny Bible. It's easy to read with the magnifying glass, and its about the size of an airpod case. The leather feels good and the book is well made, especially for its size. Very glad they came out with it in the NASB 1995.
The Bible I received was of high quality, shipped fast, and was packaged with care. Also, even though I knew I was ordering a tiny Bible, I’m still amazed at how small it actually is! I have enjoyed reading it. Thanks
