Enduring Word Bible, The: English Standard Version

I wanted an art journaling bible in my favorite translation, the ESV, and gratefully found it in this bible. It has the words of Christ in red as well. The font is readable and the pages are nice. The artwork is beautiful, containing highlighted verses in pretty fonts, ready to embellish any way you choose. I will say the artwork is not as fanciful as some coloring bibles out there, as compared to some NLTs, but that is a bonus for me. My intention is to use this as an art AND study/prayer bible and the artwork is not so overdone that its overwhelming, even taking over some pages. For instance, the artwork on the Chapter pages is an artful header, still leaving room for notes on that page also, which was so important to me. I want to be able to note certain info on the title pages and here there is room left for me to do that. Also, I can embellish the the other highlighted verses with my own drawing, coloring, and art. There is also plenty of room for study notes and prayers. It is truly a blessing to own. I hope you are blessed by it as well.

Wow! This Bible is amazing! I have seen other coloring bibles and the font was too small (even the "large print"), the paper too thin and at times, the illustrations too small to color in. This Bible has a readable font (with words of Jesus in red), incredible illustrations and paper that is thick enough to color and write on without bleed or shadow (I haven't tried watercolor, gesso, marker or stamps, so, I may update this review at a later point). I highly recommend this Bible!

Value for money

I love this Bible! I did a lot of research on different sites because I was looking for a journaling Bible (ESV) that had the words of Christ in red. This was the only one I found that offered both. The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.Pros: Journaling linesChrist’s words in redSewn bindingSlightly thicker pagesSingle column layoutPretty pattern on the outside edge of pages (see pic)Lays flatCons: Cover is a flimsyJournaling lines are smallPages are ONLY slightly thickerOnly one page marking ribbonOnly comes in one color with no cover optionsThe illustrations are not as elegant as I would like
