My review:
The ESV has become one of my favorite Bible versions. I have a couple different ESV Bibles already, but this one looked interesting, so I requested it.
This is a pretty cool Bible. I am not one to journal in a Bible, but am becoming more and more interested in doing so. This Bible has a lot of room on the margins to jot thoughts or even draw, if that is your thing.
The illustrations are eye catching and adds a lot to the Bible.
The Bible has the look of an encyclopedia, and comes in a matching open end box such as a boxed set of books come in.
If you are wanting a Bible to carry to church, this may not be the right Bible for that. However, if you want a Bible for personal reading and one you can journal and write notes in, this is a great Bible for that.
I was given a copy of this Bible in exchange for my honest review.

I am sorry I missed this giveaway. ESV has become my most used version and I have been wanting a journaling Bible for my personal devotional time. I just found your blog through Ronie's post on FB today and your link to Dead Reckoning. :)
