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 preaching
No matter what translation your church uses, if you’re a preacher, a good preaching Bible is a must. Typically, I think a good preaching Bible utilizes a verse-by-verse format. Some folks like preaching from a paragraph edition and others who are just reading like verse-by-verse. One size doesn’t fit all, but either way, the NKJV Preaching Bible from Thomas Nelson that I’m reviewing today is worth your attention…
I’ve been really excited about Crossway’s new ESV Expository Commentary series. These are new commentaries with the goal of providing “a clear, crisp, and Christ-centered explanation of the biblical text.” At this point in time, there are seven commentaries in the set and they haven’t been going in order. I’m reviewing Volume IV: Ezra - Job and Volume X: Romans - Galatians…
The Cambridge Topaz has become my favorite ESV on the market. The size is perfect in hand, the page layout is wonderful, and the text is so bold it pops right off the page. Many people get sticker shock when they see the price, but I am here to tell you that if you preach, teach, or just love the verse-by-verse layout, this Bible is worth the price tag. I reviewed the Topaz in goatskin here, but in this review, I get to tell you about the calfskin Topaz, which in my opinion, is right up there with the goatskin, but is definitely easier on the wallet.
I have never used a Pastor’s Bible before, but after looking at this one, I can see how valuable they are. We will get into the features soon, but let me just say from the start that Holman has created a nice bible here.
I’m really excited about the Bible I get to share with you today. Admittedly, it’s not for everyone given the name, but honestly, whether you’re a preacher or not, I think you will really like this Bible. The ESV Preaching Bible from Crossway is what I would almost consider my perfect Bible for preaching
