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

I purchased this because I was looking for a brown leather-like Bible and there was a crazy good deal on it. After buying it I read reviews and got spooked because of the comments about the small print. I had every intention of returning this upon arrival and to continue looking for "The One". But, when it arrived I fell in love with it! The cover is GORGEOUS, even more stunning in person, the pictures online do not do it justice! Yes, the print is small, especially for my forty year old eyes, but it's honestly not as bad as I thought. And personally, I think the cream colored pages make it easier to read (in my picture the pages look white, they definitely are not). The pages themselves are a decent thickness for a Bible, they are still see through, as with most Bibles, and will likely have bleed through from notes and highlights. But these things are common with most Bibles and are not deal breakers for me. It is a great size to carry around also, not too thick and not too heavy. I highly recommend getting this version!!

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!

Gorgeous ESV Bible. We are using this as our guest book at our wedding and I was so happy with the size of the margins and easy to read text 10/10

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.

Absolutely gorgeous leather bound. Perfect for wedding guest signing in margins of their favorite verses as a family keepsake.

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

This Bible is beautiful! I love how it's not super heavy duty or big to hold, but the one con to that is it causes the pages to be super thin, Which is to be expected for bibles anyways. But I can only use certain highlighters and ballpoint pens, and it handles that well, But bic highlighters or strong pigmented highlighted or wet pens will bleed through a little bit. I still love this Bible though and already have been using it a lot, And esv is a wonderful translation as well!

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