or is it something that is normally presented to you by someone else?

Not at all. You should pick the Bible that best suits you. The right size, color, readablilty, age group, for study, and one that you can understand.

There are many types of Bibles and I like large print with an explanation of the words of the King James Bible,I also purchased a Amplified Bible and a New Living Bible myself,I was given a small print that I use In church but you need to buy what Is best for you.

Buying a bible for yourself is a good thing. I love comparing the translations. How would someone else know what translation I need or like? I think a gift of a bible is good for a new believer, but after that, if you want to study in depth or compare or whatever, it's perfectly normal to see christians buying for themselves.

It's perfectly fine to purchase a Bible for yourself. What's the alternative? Do without one until someone presents you with one? It makes a nice gift, but buying one for yourself is not a problem, and is something you should do if you don't have one.

Not strange at all! If you would like a very helpful and interesting Bible, pick up a copy of 'The Full Life Study Bible' in the KJV. Very helpful info in there on almost every page. It will surely open your eyes!

It's absolutely fine to purchase a bible for yourself to study. The bible is out there for everyone! I would generally reccomend that you actually pay for it, but I know that my church's bookstore would have people steal bibles all the time... that's a bit weird, but if you pay for it, it's a fantastic resource. Also, there are a number of websites out there where you can read and study the bible.

I would personally not be interesting in having a bible, but I see no reason why it would be strange if you bought yourself a fine bible, or any religious book.

Ask a friend of yours who is staying at a motel to pick you up one of the Gideon's Bibles. They are free, and it's pretty interesting because they have a verse (I think it's John 3:16) translated into many languages.

It's perfectly normal to buy yourself a bible! I bought myself two last year, one's a study bible to help me learn it. :)
Blessings and love

not strange at all as the BIBLE which is presented to you may not be the version you prefer
