The NIV Preacher’s Bible (Zondervan, 2020) is the first NIV Bible that allows pastors to be on the same page as their congregations. It’s double-column design perfectly pairs with the Comfort Print® NIV Pew and Worship Bible. While each Bible retains its own distinct font and page layout, each page of these two different Bibles begins and ends with the same word.

“Our aim was to publish a Bible uniquely suited to preaching and teaching,” said Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher, Zondervan Bibles (@NIVBible). “That we could innovatively craft this edition while pairing it to the pages of the Pew and Worship Bible takes the ease of use a step further. It means pastors no longer have to preach from a pew Bible to be on the same page as their congregation. To aid pastors in quickly and easily locating passages as you they, this Bible is set in a verse-by-verse format, rather than a paragraph format. This is the only NIV Bible in which each verse starts a new paragraph.”

The NIV Preacher’s Bible combines elements that are helpful for preaching and teaching: line-matching to minimize see-through; ample margin space; a bold, clear typeface; smooth, opaque paper; and a versified layout to easily find verses on the page. It also joins HarperCollins Christian Publishing’s top-quality Premier Collection, which also features additional Bibles in NIV, NASB, NKJV, and KJV.
