The Author has really outdone Himself with this updated release of the classic/definitive basic instruction manual for humans. This updated (ESV) release takes the older language of the commonly used English version of the work and makes it very clear, concise, and puts it straight-forward words that are very applicable to everyday Enlish speakers for their everyday life. It's not just a redressing of the older English texts, though. It has been clearly documented by the Author's team of editors and reviewers as they went back to the original languages and manuscripts to verify integrity and best possible accuracy to His intents. I think more than ever the Author's love for his audience comes out in these pages. With this new and updated language I can see and feel His inspiration and desire to show us that love. If you feel disconnected, lost or separated from the Author, this is a great place to start! The Author made a promise-- seek Him and you will find Him, and this book has got to be one of the best places for that reconnection. This particular format (hardback Journaling edition) is fantastic for the studious type who reads something and realizes is interacts and pertains to something else that they've read before. It offers a great huge margin on every page to make those notes so I can flip back and forth and every write down reminders about why I thought it was important. It does sacrifice the font size of the text in order to provide this ability-- so those with eyesight issues may need to keep looking for another format. Perhaps the huge speaker's edition (or pulpit edition) that has larger text-- but I can't be certain they offer the writing margins. They aren't as portable as this one, either. It's both daunting and inspiring to see the wide open spaces just waiting for me to jot down my thoughts on the subject matter I'm reading. Dauting-- why haven't I written something down here? Inspiring-- what great insight will the Author give to me today to write down? The pages are tough enough to withstand pen and pencil, but thin enough to keep the size down. They are also thin enough to be damaged when tossed carelessly into the backpack-- a flip-around fastener on one cover to hold it shut would have been beneficial. I haven't tried a hilighter yet, but I'm confident that some of the newer non-ink ones will at least be fine, and maybe the older style as well.Read full review
Love it! Bought this Bible for art journaling. Absolutely loving this new way of studying the bible. Bringing me closer to the word as I creatively express my feelings on the passages I am studying. It should be noted that the font in this Bible is very tiny, but I find that the font used is very clear, which helps! I would highly recommend this brand of journaling Bible. And I owould highly recommend bible journaling for all creative souls!
And Jesus said: I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father except thru me. John 14:6

I purchased this bible because I don't have any ESV translations. This is one of the newer efforts and I want to use this in my Bible studies. I purchsed this one because of the price. It allows me to put notes in it if I want to or just compare texts, which is my primary purpose.
