It took me 81 days to read the ESV StudyBible large print. It was the best experience in reading I’ve ever had. I have never read more than 3 books in a year. Opened my eyes to Christianity and gave me a love for reading. 360 books later since 2020 in the 3rd month of 2024, I must thank this Bible for everything. Happy Easter Everyone!!

I have this is the calfskin leather. I will never need another Bible for the rest of my life. Love this Bible so much! The extra material is so thorough and exhaustive. I like how it has a section on other religions and cults to give an understanding what we as Christians face when trying to witness.

I entirely agree with you! The ESVSB is (I think) my favorite study Bible too, and I own a bunch of study Bibles. We're blessed to have many good study Bibles in the English speaking world, but I think the ESVSB is a cut above the rest. Other study Bibles I like: the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible (which takes us through the main storyline(s) of the Bible), the CSB Study Bible, and the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible (which isn't a study Bible per se but I'll include it since it's so good).

The ESV isn't too bad. It's better than probably most other versions. Yet what I'm convinced is the best, is this one: Do you believe God lead us to be tempted or does satan lead us to be tempted? James 1:13 says, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." But in Luke 11:4, the ESV says, "And lead us not into temptation." But the Inspired Version says, "And let us not be led unto temptation." So, who leads us into temptation? ESV: God. IV: someone other than God. Do you believe someone who humbles himself after committing sin, should not be forgiven? Isaiah 2:9 says in the ESV, "So man is humbled, and each one is brought low- do not forgive them!" But the Inspired Version says, "And the mean man boweth not down, and the great man humbleth himself not; therefore forgive them not." Can you be sanctified without the doctrine of Christ? Hebrews 6:1 of the ESV says, "Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity." But the Inspired Version says, "Therefore not leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection." So, should we just abandon the doctrine of Christ? ESV: yes, it's not important. IV: no, it is important or else Christ never would have taught it.

I’m sorry that you found this to be overly promotional. However in all of my Bible review videos I give my opinion as to whether viewers should buy it or not. Since I only review Bibles that I have personally purchased after researching beforehand, it is likely that every Bible review that I ever do on this channel will end with me encouraging viewers to purchase the Bible.
