From LoveToKnow Handbags

A purse style Bible cover is a convenient and stylish way to tote your Bible to church, meetings, small groups or Bible studies, and youth group. There are hundreds of styles of handled covers, so there is a perfect look for you.

Advantages or Purse Type Covers

A Bible cover is important – it protects your Bible from the elements and keeps the binding, cover, and pages intact. Not only are the precious scriptures protected, but you may be preserving sentimental value as well if your Bible contains family information or has notes and personal comments in the margins.

Although there are many types of Bible covers available today, the purse style has a particular advantage because it is so portable. Grabbing the handles makes it easy to take your Bible anywhere, and can be big help when you have other items you need to carry as well.
