Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.
All in ESV
I’m not one to write in nicer Bibles, but the ESV Wide Margin Reference Bible just begs to be written in. This may be the first nie ESV that I write in and I’m pretty excited about it. Another interesting feature to notice right out of the gate is that this is one of the few ESVs that has the words of Christ in red. Let’s take a closer look at this unique ESV.
Horween leather is still holding strong in the Bible world! It’s very different from goatskin, but at the same time it’s completely awesome in a different kind of way. Even more awesome has been seeing rebinders get ahold of this coveted leather and go wild. Crossway, however, started this whole Horween craze and they are the pioneers of this Bible cover movement, which is why I’m excited to be reviewing the Horween Heirloom Omega from Crossway.
Logos Rebinding is still fairly new to the rebinding game, but he has been quickly making a name for himself. I reached out to Logos about getting my favorite block rebound—the ESV Preaching Bible Verse-by-Verse—and we talked through the details and before I knew it, I was opening a gorgeous and freshly rebound Bible. I’ve used this Bible pretty extensively and put it through its paces and I’m excited to share it with you today.
I think Cambridge Bibles are some of the finest quality Bibles out there. They also make some unique editions and have a really loyal following. I’m excited to review the Cambridge ESV Diadem today in hardcover. I’ll be reviewing editions both with and without the Apocrypha. The Diadem is highly anticipated as many people have been pleading for a Bible with the same layout as the Pitt Minion and Wide Margin, but at a size in between the two. Cambridge has listened and answered with the Diadem.
The ESV Study Bible has long sat atop the podium as my favorite study Bible on the market and nothing has really come close in challenging its position. It’s filled with features that are unrivaled in my opinion. What makes it even better is that Crossway has released it in a plethora of editions. I’m really excited about their newest offering though, which is my favorite Study Bible wrapped in buffalo leather.
I feel like I constantly rave about Scripture Journals. I find them to be one of the most useful tools for both personal devotion and ministry. I keep finding uses for them and thanks to Crossway, I’ve found one more—shelf candy. The ESV Illuminated Scripture Journal Box Set is a display piece that anyone seeing your bookshelves will immediately notice. Not only are they useful, they’re beautiful.
When it comes to Bibles and design, I think it’s hard to beat Crossway in the innovative category. They do some different things than other publishers and take some risks. I’ve long been a fan of their Single Column Journaling Bibles and they’ve decided to take it up a notch with the new Artist Series.
The Psalms are a gift to the church. In them you find a Spirit-inspired range of emotions. The Psalms are comforting and God exalting. They can be used for prayer, singing, and meditation. Having a great copy of the Psalms can be a valuable resource and Crossway has provided just that with their lovely top grain edition of the Psalms. This edition comes in other bindings, but I will be looking at the top grain specifically.
It’s a joy for me to once again be partnering with my friends at Westminster Books to bring you an exclusive review of the ESV Reader’s Bible, Six-Volume Set: with Chapter and Verse Numbers in Goatskin Over Board with a Walnut Slipcase. This review wouldn’t be possible without the aid of my friends at Westminster Books. I highly recommend you use them for your book and Bible needs.
