ESV Single Column Journaling Bible (TruTone, Chestnut, Leaves Design)

Bible Journaling is a game changer in my personal walk with God! I am addicted to finding and recording my own cross-references, margin notes, excerpts from trusted commentaries and more throughout this Bible format. As such, my memory has been exercised and I’m far more able to find particular references when I need them. The act of writing something out, or “decorating” text with a box or colored pencils is now my favorite form of meditating on God’s Word.While this particular Amazon purchase was given as a gift, I’m now about 2.5 years into my personal copy of this product. Hubby and I read through God’s Word cover to cover every year and my copy (a treasure!) now contains my notes/annotations throughout using pen, colored pencils, post-it notes, extra pages glued in, washi tape, stickers, etc. Good news: The cover, binding, and pages are holding up quite well!The product pairs well with:* BIC 4-in-1 pen or similar 6-in-1 products with finer tip* A good set of Colored Pencils (preferred over highlighter pens; no bleed through!)* A generous Bible Cover with pockets for my “go-to” tools* A “Mr. Pen” ballpoint pen for Bibles* A book light (Yes, sometimes the font feels too small … especially before my cataract lens replacement surgery)* Post-It Notes in smaller sizes. I use these to capture the “quick thought” or even questions. These then beg for attention later when I have more time to ponder, organize my thoughts and prepare my long-term response.I do hope you might enjoy the journey of Bible Journaling!

This is by far the best Bible I have owned. The print is big enough for me (a young adult) to easily read, the cover is soft and easy to clean, and the paper is good quality. Of course, there is some ghosting when I highlight, but that is impossible to avoid. The paper is as thick as possible for a book of this size and I'm pleased with how it stands up to my excessive writing and highlighting.I've owned this Bible for nearly 4 years now and it has stood the test of time quite well. I can't say enough how much I adore this Bible. The cover is beautiful, simplistic, and gender neutral, so it's perfect for everyone!

Great bible for everyday use. I love the simple but cute design on the cover. It's floppy which I like when I'm studying the bible as it stays open easily and I don't lose my spot while I'm taking notes or looking up further information on a passage I'm reading.

Really love this Bible. Just getting into journaling/drawing so the wide sides are perfect!

For the price and greate quality bible which has note writing area to add either during sermons or at bible study.Also came in 2 days after I ordered it. I will recommend to other church members or same denomination of ESV bible usage church. Hallelujah! Amen! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cover: Really nice and well made. The leaf details give the front of the Bible a cute design and some texturePages: Good, a little bit thicker feeling than other Bibles I have had. However, so far I would say writing does leak/ show through. So if that's a really big pet peeve for you then this Bible may not be it. Or you can just get types of pens that may not show through on the other side. Also, I like how the pages are a bit more "yellow" than just bright white pages.Writing: Definitely small! If you need a medium to large fount, I definitely don't recommend this Bible for that purpose. I do like how it is one column. It makes reading the Bible feel more like a novel, which is strangely a plus for me. It's also super nice how all the chapter section headings are all on the same side, so you can easily find something if you need it.Extra: There are no extra maps or even chapter introductions. Just a plain Bible. It does of course have little footnotes. But if you want a Bible with maps and a little more explanation for the chapters and texts, I recommend getting a study Bible instead. (Plus if you are a new believer or new to reading the Bible, I highly recommend a study Bible as they explain soooo much and makes understanding a lot easier).Shipping: Came SUPER fast through Prime. And it came out of the package perfectly. However, I did find it strange that it was literally just the Bible thrown into the package. There was no bubble wrap or extra protection.All in all: Great Bible and great shipping experience! Definetely recommend!

The book itself is beautiful, and there is plenty of room for notes. However, the print is very small, making it difficult to read for very long without straining the eyes. If you have vision problems, you might want to skip this one for an edition with a more comfortable font size.

The media could not be loaded. Bible in a convenient format, without comments, wide fields to leave notes
