I looked at their site and I think they could really use a new (or better) colour scheme. They're mixing so many colours (some of which clash) that it doesn't look appealing. Remember also to keep the same colour scheme all throughout the website.

On their products line, instead of having a colour and a size for each individual thing (clothing), they should have a "combo box" which lists all the variations in size. Instead of listing all the colour variations as well, they should just have a little box with the colours available in them and if they click on them, it will change the colour of the product you're viewing. It'd also be nice if they could see more detail on the products themselves.

The website also looks very small on larger resolutions.

Other than that, everthing else looks pretty solid. It has good content (especially the "Our Story" link).

For advertising, I think they'd be smart to make a video of their outdoor product actually being submerged in water / get mud on it/ ect... and put it up on a popular video site like YouTube or Google Video. In the description they could tell where to purchase at.

I think the webpage could be better designed - a lot of empty green space doing nothing, which could show us close-up pics of what the Outdoor Bible looks like.

The idea is good though, and I think would be very appealing to young Christians doing out-of-doors pursuits such as living in tents on mountainsides. Good to being able to share God's Word around the campfire at night without worrying about flimsy pages being torn or muddied when the book is laid down.

We have friends who are at this moment midway on a journey from Europe to South Africa, and calling in on mission villages and friends along the way - they would have had a use for a rugged bible I am sure as they go from parched desert to monsoon mud in their valiant old four-wheeler and seek the face of the Lord in the sticky bits.

Thats a great suggestion.

They already have video on how to use it. It's here: http://www.theoutdoorbible.com/t-video.aspx

As a Pastor and Red Cross Chaplain Responder, the Outdoor Bible would be a godsend to our Chaplain Team... you see, we respond into post hurricane devastation areas and other natural disaster areas to provide spiritual comfort to victims, their families and to the first responders who must deal with the injuries, destruction and death. On several occasions responding into the devastation areas caused by Hurricanes Ivan, Dennis and Katrina, our conventional Bibles have been subjected to sand, flood waters, debris, fuel spills, humidity, lingering thunderstorms and rain, and have literally fallen apart. What a joy it would be to have a Bible that is substantially immune to these destructive forces. It would allow us to be able to accurately quote scripture to those who are truly in need, rather than trying to piece together the remnant pages of a nearly destroyed conventional Bible. We thank the publisher for providing this truly amazing Outdoor Bible, not only to those who are involved in outdoor recreation, but to those of us who assist others under some very severe conditions. God Bless...

I think this Bible is a fantastic idea; especially for our family. Our church uses the NASB translation.
This would be fabulous for our daughter who has been known to leave books outside, on more than one occasion
I also would think that it would be really good in order to take when we do day trips, the beach, pool etc. Places I would normally not take my Bible for fear of water saturation and or rough handling.

The one thing that does not appeal to me about it is the separate "volumes", fine if you are doing a Bible reading on your own, but not very conducive for trying to do any sort of "study" or referencing within the Bible itself, having to open each individual volume for one verse or two, would make me less likely to want to use it.
