Bible Covers: The Perfect Gift For Christians

Scott Marshall - Cards & Gifts Specialist

Struggling to think of a Christian gift for your friends and loved ones? Bible covers are an excellent present to protect something as precious as their Bible from getting all scuffed and dog eared. Bibles and Bible covers make great gifts for Christians, so let’s jump into everything you need to know!

What Is A Bible Cover?

A Bible cover is like a book cover for keeping your Bible safe. You’ll find a vast range of Bible covers to suit different needs, in different sizes and with different features. Some will be simple designs while some will be more artistic, and adorned with a popular Bible verse.

Why You Need A Bible Cover

If the person you’re buying a gift for takes their Bible to and from church to follow along with sermons, or attends a Bible studies class, then a Bible cover is a fantastic gift. Pairing a Bible cover with indexing tabs and Bible highlighters (designed to not run through the thin pages) makes for an even better present.

Plenty of Bible covers come with extra little pockets and features to hold your pens, pencils, and notecards so that you can take quick notes during a sermon.

Maybe you have no interest in taking your Bible to sermons or Bible studies classes, you just read your Bible at home. Is a Bible cover still for you? Absolutely! Many people invest in a beautiful, high quality Bible that they cherish for years to come. But keeping it protected from wear and tear (especially if you have young children) is a challenge. That’s where a Bible cover comes in. You’ll extend the life of your Bible, keeping it looking and feeling like new for years to come.

Different Types Of Bible Covers

There are plenty of different types of Bible covers and cases available on the market. It’s easy to feel a bit of paralysis by analysis and have no idea where to start. To make it simple, let’s break down the different features you’ll find on Bible covers and see which one is right for you.

Size

The obvious starting point when choosing your Bible cover is the size. You want a Bible cover that doesn’t leave too much space for your Bible to rattle around, but not so small you need to cram or squeeze your Bible in. Our range starts with small covers for Bibles up to 23x16x4cm, up to our extra large covers for 28x20x5cm Bibles. If you’re unsure what may be right for you, don’t hesitate to call our team, who’ll be happy to help you find what suits your needs.

Cover Material

Our Bible covers predominantly come in one of two cover types. Imitation leather or canvas. Imitation leather tends to feel a bit more sturdy, but is often more expensive. It’s a classy look that’s perfect for protecting your Bible. Canvas covers come in a range of designs, with our most popular being brightly coloured with a small Ichthus Fish logo, a nod to the early followers of Christ. Whilst often cheaper than imitation leather, these covers are still sturdy, durable, and more than fit for purpose.

Extras

Some Bible covers do exactly what they say on the box - they protect your Bible and nothing more. This is fantastic for some people who prefer a minimalist design and want to reduce any clutter. Others may prefer a bit more utility from their Bible case, with space for highlighters and notecards, and we cater to that too. There’s no right answer, it’s a case of choosing the Bible cover that fits your needs.

Cover Design

As with Bibles, and journals, there’s such a range of options out there when it comes to how your Bible cover looks. Anywhere from a low-key, brown leather look right up to a bright cover adorned with a Bible verse can be found. Whether you want something that’s fit for purpose to protect and carry your Bible, or a statement piece proudly displaying your faith and love for the Lord, there’s bound to be something for you.

Can You Get Different Bible Covers For Men and Women?

While there’s no such thing as a Bible cover for a man or for a woman, many of our covers have a specific audience in mind. While we have curated certain ranges of Bible covers for women and Bible covers for men, don’t let that stop you from choosing whatever you most like the look of. After all, most of our designs are unisex.

Where Can I Buy Bible Covers?

While Bible covers aren’t found in every WHSmiths or Waterstones up and down the country, they’re not as hard to find as you might think. Here at Eden, we have a massive range of over 300 Bible covers for you to choose from.
