I've just come across another source for the Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible. Scripture Truth Book Company has a fantastic price on the loose leaf style version.
You can buy the complete 14 volume New Testament set directly from the publisher's website at a cost of $42.99 each or $514.99 for the set. To this you must add $54.95 in shipping and handling. Total cost for the NT set would be $569.94 from the publisher.
However, at Scripture Truth Book Company, the 14 volume loose leaf set costs $28.95 each, which totals $405.30. The great news is that there is no shipping or handling for orders over $100. Therefore $405.30 is your total price.
That's a savings of $164.64 !
Let's go one step further. If you wanted to order the 14 volume New Testament set, plus the 7 volume Old Testament Pentateuch (Gen-Deut), the cost is $764.98 for the 21 volumes, plus $94.90 shipping, for a total of $859.88 (from the publisher).
However, if you order the same items from the Scripture Truth Book Company, the cost is $28.95 for each loose leaf volume (21 volumes in all) for a total of $607.95. Since no shipping is added to the price, your total cost is $607.95, which is a savings of $163.05.
Another way of looking at it is this - for $607.95 you get (in the loose leaf format) the entire 14 set of the NT, plus the 7 set Pentateuch NT set from Scripture Truth Bible Company.
For $569.94 (only $38.01 less), you would only get the 14 volume New Testament see (loose leaf format) from the publisher.
I am only unsure of one thing. The Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible comes in either the King James version or the NIV. Both are available from the publisher's website.
I am unable to tell from the Scripture Truth Book Company's website, which translation they are selling.
I'd rather purchase the KJV; however, at the price of $607.95, I'd 'make' myself get by with the NIV.
On another note, Scripture Truth Book Company also has the 3 volume hardbound New Testament set available for $224.99. That is a fantastic price as no shipping and handling would be added. At ChristianBooks.com, you would pay $279.99 for the set, plus $22.40 shipping, for a total of $302.49. That's a $77.50 savings right there. From the publisher, you would pay $339.99 plus $18.95 shipping, for a total of $358.94. That's a difference of $133.95 between the publisher and Scripture Truth Book Company.
Whether you would buy the individual paperback versions, the 3 volume hard bound version, or the loose leaf version, you'd be making a good investment with the collection, regardless of the translation you buy. (NOTE: NIV version is always slightly higher than the KJV).
A 3 volume hardbound set is very convenient. You'd have the entire New Testament collection in a smaller package. It comes in a slipcase for a very nice presentation.
However, there is a lot to be said for the loose leaf version. As you come across other related items, you can just xerox, 3 hole punch the copies, then place directly into the loose leaf. It makes it a little more convenient, from my way of thinking.
I'll advise when I hear back from Scripture Truth Book Company as to the translation they are selling at that price. All prices quote above are for the KJV. If the Scripture Truth Book Company is selling the NIV version at that price, the savings would be even more.
