I recently had a chance to see a copy of the NKJV New Testament, Tracing Edition. It's a great idea, honestly - I have always told my students that writing is a much stronger way to commit things to memory than just reading. It's true for German and math (my two main subjects), and it's also true for pretty much anything else. This edition is designed to encourage deeper meditation on Scripture by tracing the words.
The type is a little larger than a traditional Bible, which makes it easier to trace (and also easier to read). It's a handwriting-style font that is enjoyable to follow, and was easy even for me with my terrible handwriting to trace over. There are wide margins, perfect for additional notes (or, if you're artistic like my daughter, for art inspired by the verses). It also lays flat, which means it works for left- or right-handed writers.
The reading plans are also helpful, offering a themed way to dive deeper into the New Testament.
