I love the ESV student study bible tru-tone plum, it can be personalized and is incredible! One of the reasons I love this Bible is there are 900 "Did You Know?" facts, 120 Bible character profiles, and topical articles. It also features a glossary of key terms, more than 80 maps and illustrations, an extensive concordance, and 80,000 cross-references! The illustrations are incredible! I cannot even begin to tell you about some of the maps and the one of Herod's temple is great- I wish I could add pictures to this review! I only wish I had one of these years ago for myself when I was young, as it brings so much more information to the reader!

I bought this for my daughter and I loved it so much that I just got one for a very special young lady who is graduating High School as a gift. You will not be sorry about this purchase! For this review they wanted to know if it met expectations? YES- above and beyond for the value and price of this Bible!!!!

side note, I had a problem with the cover of my daughters Bible and they immediately took care of the issue- great customer service! This earns them 5 stars!

We purchased this Bible for our grandson, who serves our nation in the Armed Forces. We like the softcover option because he can bring it with him wherever he is delpoyed.

We both have hardcover, large print ESV Study Bibles as well. This Bible is exceptional in every respect.

We were hoping to purchase the ESV study Bible, (leather-like bound, $23.99) for our Son and daughter in law before the free shipping offer ended, but time ran out.

I'm confident that the Lord will provide another opportunity to purchase this Bible for them in His perfect will and timing, or provide for them in another, even more perfect way!

Thank God, and Christian Book.com, for making these Bibles available!

Blessings,

This is the second ESV bible I got during college. Since I wanted to grow in my understanding of the Scriptures even more, I decided to get a study Bible that contains commentary. This Bible has been fantastic! The layout is great and easy to follow. It's now my go-to Bible!

For quality, it's great. The pages are very thin but not so much that the text on the other side makes it hard to read. I've seen other Bibles where it's hard to read the page because you can see the other side through it. The commentary font is small. It's easy for me to read but might be harder for folk who can't see small things. It's kind of standard in size so easy for me to put into my bookbag and carry around. I prefer hardcover books yet, even though this cover isn't technically hardcovered, the faux leather on it has been holding strong and is flexible yet thick enough that I feel confident that it will protect what's inside.

For product value, it's great! I haven't even begun to utilize the extra parts in the front and back such as the colored maps, glossary, Ethics, and Concordance sections. Just with the commentary alone, it's been awesome! I wish I would've bought this sooner! For any other young Christians trying to grow in their understanding of the Scriptures, I would definitely encourage you to buy a student study Bible of some sort (even if it isn't this one)! I considered it an investment into my spiritual growth and I've never regretted getting one!

I hope this review has been helpful. God bless and stay curious! ;)

My son, who is working full time and is trying to complete his college degree, has a lot on his plate. I wanted to get him this Bible, so he could stay encouraged in The LORD; so, when I saw it on sale, I immediately ordered it for him! It is exquisite and TRULY a wealth of knowledge. I am considering getting one for myself, it is SO wonderful. Easy to read font, and just a privilege to be able to present to my son. BEAUTIFUL cover and perfect size. SO glad that I ordered it!

I bought this ESV Student Study Bible in chestnut for my college-age daughter for Christmas. She was very happy with the product. I think it's a great size for her to carry at school, and yet it still has quality study notes. The pages are not edged with gold or silver as many Bibles are (they're plain white), but she liked it anyway. We're very happy with our purchase!
