ESV Pew and Worship Bible, Large Print (Hardcover, Black)

This book has a format of two columns on each page which I think most bible readers will be used to. Binding and printing are to a good standard. The book size has been criticised elsewhere but it is a standard USA size which I find very comfortable to handle. Most importantly the paper used in this edition is not the thinnest and so the pages do not drag downwards as is the case of many large books. To give a practical example when I held the bible open at John the left hand side of the book moved downwards only a little. Those of us who hand hold the book to read will appreciate just how good that is! As a comparison I have the CEV version and the pages are much thinner and are very prone to slip. So it is a very nice book to read at the practical level. Footnotes and other essential cross references are kept to small print at the bottom of the page so that they do not interfere with continuous reading. I find this a very good translation although to enlarge on meanings I refer to other versions on occasion and it might be dishonest not to admit that. On the whole though it is a good reading version, but I am still not sure that it is 'better' than the Revised English, which I consider is still very undervalued. Nevertheless it is still my 'pick' of the large print bibles of which there are not that many really. One final note is that the text is clear and large of course but the font has 'tall upright character' which I am now settling down to but which I had not seen before. The easy to read properties of this bible are probably going to make it my favourite book.

Good quality, print is large and clear.

Lovely Bible. Easy to read & handle

I am amazed at the quality of this bible for the price. The embossed cover is so beautiful and everytime I hold it in my hands I can’t stop thinking what a special edition of the bible this is.

Love this

Great it’s the Bible. The only downside for me with this one was no marker ribbons, and no words of Jesus in red. My own fault for not noticing before I ordered. The cover however is beautiful, which is what drew my attention towards it.

Satisfactory

My son is very happy with his new Bible. Simple covering and good size print. Would definitely recommend it.

Delivered fast and packed nicely. Love the colour. The font size is perfect for reading. There is a bit weight on it but still good if you plan to use it outside. God bless you!

This is my first ESV Bible and it’s exactly what I am looking for. A good size and great hand feel. Easy to read large font. The gold foil lettering on the front cover and spine looks classy and traditional. Because I like to highlight text, I prefer to NOT have red lettering for Jesus’ dialogue, so I am glad the text is solely black. I love the sturdy hard cover and I’m so happy with this Bible!

This large print pew esv bible is amazing. It's look is pretty classy and well finished. I take a star out just because of the paper quality which is not upto the mark. Other than that this bible is lit... go for it guys!!

I purchased this English Standard Version bible because I read it is one of the most accurate word for word translations of the Bible. The same is said for the NASB translation, so now I use these two bibles for my personal bible studies. I really like the English Standard Version translation. It is very clear and easy to comprehend. It is also quite different from the NASB in places, not in context so much as in specific word choice, which I find very helpful while studying the Bible. The other thing I really like about this specific bible is that it is a version made for the pew’s in church, meaning it is a sturdy hardback, with larger print. It is easier on the eyes, particularly in the early morning or evening. And, I like this translation so much I find myself using it more than the NASB.

The print is big as is stated. It's very light compared to most Bibles. The paper isn't too thin just in case I have to highlight. It got to me in a very timely manner, before Easter! Definitely ready to read!
