5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful

a. · 17 July 2011

This is a beautiful edition of the ESV Bible - bound in soft, brown leather. The format and layout is different to other Bibles I have (text format is in paragraphs across the page, rather than in columns), which seemed strange to me at first, but I have grown to really like it. The text size is ok and this version seems to have achieved a good balance between font size/size and weight of book. I love the way that each book of this Bible has an introduction and explanation - very helpful for a novice like me. My copy has travalled in my bag a fair bit over the last few weeks since I bought it and I am pleased to say it has stood up to my (sometimes) rough handling. This may sound a strange thing to say, but it feels lovely to hold as the cover is so soft and it is the type of leather that I could imagine will wear beautifully over the years. I am very pleased with this Bible, as it was exactly what I had been looking for; it has become one of my most treasured books already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good translation; nice to hold and read

T.A.o.S. · 10 February 2012

I love this version of the Bible because of the principles which governed translation. However, it won't work for everyone as the language is somewhat stilted, a result of the word-for-word style translation (the NIV is more towards the thought-for-thought end of translations; the NLT even more so). So, if you struggle with finding the Bible incomprehensible, then this might not be for you (go for NIV or NLT - the latter had a great committee of translators and is very readable!).But, if you know you like the ESV translation, then this Bible is a nice one. It feels good to hold; the size is great. I bought it for my husband and I'd really like one the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bible

This Bible is the perfect size for taking with you, and it is fully cross referenced. The Bible text is single column. Be aware that the cross references are the same as those in the ESV Study Bible (Personal Size) so you don't need both if you are only looking for a Bible with cross references.I still use the NIV for day to day reading, but the ESV is quickly becoming my "literal" translation for comparison.

The intricate design on the front of the book and the silver edges of the book make it even more special. And as my first bible I am more than pleased. I would definitely recommend this !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Lovely

Really lovely bible. Cover is really pretty and a great colour, bit more green then picture but love it all the same. Sliver edge pages add extra to book. Pages are not devided into colums which I really love. Great concordance too.

Un format bien pratique

t. · 24 August 2017

C'est une ESV classique, avec un texte sans référence. Le format de cette bible est bien pratique à transporter dans un sac, de plus la couverture est très agréable tant à la vue qu'au toucher. Le design reste cependant discret car il ne paraît pas être une bible.La police de caractère est de 8 points ce qui rend le texte facilement lisible.Le prix est très raisonnable.

We have a winner!

A. · 31 January 2014

Affordable, high-quality Bibles have become rather rare in recent years. Besides having issues with the quality of construction, they often come with manufacturing defects, such as torn or wrinkled pages and faded ink. I am thrilled to announce that this particular Bible from Crossway has solved these problems.This is not a large Bible, but neither is it a compact version. It is just the right size between the two extremes. The cover is of a quality that could easily pass for bonded leather; in fact, there is a small blemish on mine that makes it look even more like real leather, though I am sure that this was quite accidental. The gilding on the pages is bright, even, and without blemish. It comes with a single ribbon marker as well.The pages of this Bible are thin, but the print is even and sharp throughout the book. The line-matching format goes a long way toward reducing the distracting effects of bleed-through of text on the opposite side of each page. The font is attractive and formal, but it might be a little small for people with less-than-healthy eyes. For those with normal vision or low-powered reading glasses, however, it should not be a problem.The translation itself is the ESV 2011 Text Edition, which is considered an accurate "essentially literal" translation that is ideal for serious biblical studies. It is, however, best suited for readers with a high reading comprehension level and an appreciation for fine literature; it is not an ideal translation for the very young, or for people who speak English as a second language, or for readers who want a more relaxed reading experience. For those who love fine poetry, the ESV is unequaled except, perhaps, by the KJV of 1611.If you are looking for an affordable, high-quality Bible with an equally high-quality translation, you cannot go wrong with this product. It is truly a cut above the rest within its price range and worthy of a five-star rating.

Perfect personal size bible....

Great quality beautiful gift ESV Personal Reference Bible

The cover of this is such a beautiful quality. Feels like super soft leather and very pliable. Gold edging on the pages is also beautiful. The pages are initially all kind of stuck together at the edges by the gilding but they come apart very easily and without damage. Such a lovely, quality gift for a first time bible user to experience.
