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.

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.
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.
I’ve been waiting for this Bible for a long time. I heard about it early in the year and I’ve been anticipating it ever since. The ESV Preaching Bible Verse-by-Verse edition is a single-column verse-by-verse ESV from Crossway. Crossway produced a single column verse-by-verse edition of the ESV back in 2011 and it went out of print and has been somewhat of a unicorn in the Bible community. People have been eagerly anticipating the return of a similar format. Does it live up to the hype?
I won’t lie. I’m a fan of most everything Crossway does. They’ve gotten some pushback after moving their premium production to China, but by-in-large, I’ve still been a fan. One Bible that I’ve seen taking a lot of shots is the Heirloom Single Column Personal Size Bible. I think a lot of the hate going Crossway’s way has been undue so I wanted to form an opinion for myself on this Bible. Thanks to my partner, Westminster Books, I’m bringing you this review today.
I love Cambridge Bibles and they make some of my favorite editions! The Topaz and the Clarion have become favorites for me and so I'm excited to have the opportunity to review another Bible from them. Today I'm reviewing their Wide Margin Reference Bible. The particular Bible I'm reviewing is the ESV in Black Goatskin and Red Letter. I should also note that the edition I'm reviewing was printed in 2019 and uses the 2016 ESV text. They make this Bible in a plethora of options including Goatskin and black letter, hardback, and calfsplit. They also make it in several different translations.
It takes a lot for a Bible to blow me away these days. I’ve been privileged to get to check out many of the nicest Bibles out there. I really thought I had just about seen and experienced it all. When I first heard about Cambridge’s new Bible, I figured it would be much of the same things I had seen and experienced. All of that changed when I finally received a copy to review. The Topaz blew me away. It set the bar higher for what a premium Bible should be. I was honestly pretty shocked. What makes the Topaz so great? Let’s talk about it.
I’ve been hearing a lot lately about verse-by-verse Bibles. If you’re not familiar with verse-by-verse Bibles, the unique thing about them is that each verse starts on a new line rather than being laid out in paragraph form. This is especially useful if you’re leading a Bible study or preaching because you can locate verses quickly and easily. You don’t have to be a preacher or leader to enjoy this layout, though. It makes for a unique reading experience where you can clearly identify each verse.
