Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Christians who have longed for a more readable literal Bible translation will find much to praise in the English Standard Version. The ESV's translation team of over 100 members has admirably attempted to preserve the stylistic variety of biblical authorship and ease of reading (at the eighth-grade level) despite the word-for-word translation, which historically has resulted in a choppier text flow. Bible study aficionados will appreciate the short introductions to each book, an extensive center column cross-reference system, full-color maps, and a 14,500-entry concordance. The hardcover edition includes the basic Bible frills: a presentation page, as well as marriage, birth, and death registries. --Cindy Crosby --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty much on target..., April 1, 2008

This Bible is just about what I was looking for in a journaling-type style. It's compact, but not so much that you can fit it into a pocket. I can fit it into my large purse.

The pages are kind of a vintage color, which makes it feel a little more worn and not so new. I really like the bright cover, also.

Aside from it's outward appearance, I have found it to be practical, and purposeful. I like to journal alongside of the verses.

There are a few extras as well. A one-year BIble reading plan, a summary of each book of the Bible, and a very well thoughtout explanation of salvation and redemption are some or the suprises that I do like.

I do wish the font was a little larger and that there was more room to journal. Maybe more space between the lines for those of us who don't have small handwriting would be better. Having over "40" eyes is not a plus here !

Overall, very satisfied. I feel that I got what I wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars ESV Journaling Bible, August 14, 2008

By

This review is from: ESV Journaling Bible (Regency Series, Plum, Wallpaper Design) (Hardcover)

I bought the ESV Journaling Bible because a) I did not have this translation and b) I like to write a fair amount in my Bibles and I thought this would be giving me a lot of space in which to do so. I like the translation just fine; it is very concise, e.g., "Get wisdom." The journaling space is on the far ends of each page, with fairly narrow lines in which to write. The print size of the text is also smallish. It is a PRETTY thing and that also contributed to my decision to buy this Bible. If you are hoping for lots of writing space, look elsewhere. If you want average note space and a clear English translation of Scripture in a compact form, this is for you.

This review is from: ESV Journaling Bible (Regency Series, Plum, Wallpaper Design) (Hardcover)

I've just gotten into the ESV version and have always wanted a Bible with room for notes. This is a great edition with a lot of helpful items, like book intro's, a one-year reading plan and a "What does the Bible say about..." topical index. Very well laid out and easy to navigate. The cover is also very attractive, although the color is softer than the picture appears.

On the slight downside, the journaling area is narrow. It provides room for notes on the sides, which is nice, but not enough room for extensive notes or for the kind of journaling I like to do. Still need a second book for that. The print is a little on the small side for a study bible, but not as small as a pocket bible, and I don't find it that bothersome.
