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 love this edition. The illuminations are gorgeous. The wide margins are great for notetaking and also making my own drawings.
This Bible is gorgeous! It is a Bible suitable for sitting prominently on a coffee table as in the days of old (my grandparents had a HUGE Bible that had to have been 20 pounds on their coffee table for as long as I could remember).
The cover is a very pretty hunter green with gold floral designs all over the cover, spine, and back cover. Both the dust jacket and the covers of the book itself are decorated with the gold floral designs. The pages are edged in gold as well. The end papers have a subtle design in a nice olive green color...it's a minor detail, but the details are what really make this Bible special.
The presentation page and Title pages are also filled with elegant gold foiling that truly have to be seen to be appreciated. Each title page of each book has a gold design that somehow relates to the content in the book. Throughout the Bible, there are full pages of artwork with a key verse displayed, there are also small pieces of artwork and verses placed in the margins throughout the book, all in the elegant gold color.
Because this is the Art Journaling Edition, there is ample room for Bible journaling in the margins. There are many pages with no artwork and it doesn't take up the entire page, so there is more than enough room to fill this Bible with your own notes and creations. The pages are a bit thin, I wish they were a little bit thicker as some forms of media may bleed through.
There is an index of the title pages in the back of the book, describing the artwork for each title page and how it relates to that book of the Bible. This is the only special feature in this Bible.
The Bible itself is a single column English Standard Version. This translation is thought to be one of the most literal translations of the Bible. It is easy to read and one of my favorite translations.
If you are looking to purchase a gorgeous Bible for reading or journaling, or even a gift, this would be perfect. It is fairly basic in its features but goes above and beyond in its presentation. I love this Bible and highly recommend it!

This edition is stunning. Each book has a custom illustration on the title page as well as other illustrations spread throughout the Bible, including hand-lettered verses written in the margins. The margins are wide and leave plenty of room for taking notes or journaling. Although the pages are so much prettier than my usual Bible, I almost didn’t want to take a pen to it!
Like most Bibles the pages are thin, but it doesn’t seem like it will easily rip while reading. The pages that have the full page illustrations do show through on the back slightly. But the illustrations are so beautiful that I don’t mind.
A single-column paragraph format is used as opposed to the double-column. This is the perfect Bible for reading or taking notes in at church, but it does lack cross-references, so it may not be ideal for in-depth study. The font size is not too small and easy to read, 9-point for those who are interested. The Bible is in English Standard Version which is one of my favorites to study!
I love the research that went into the illustrations and lettering, especially symbols that are relevant to the text.
I haven’t seen a Bible quite like this one before. If you are into Bible journaling you may like this Bible or you may find it too beautiful to mark up. This would make the perfect gift for a loved one.
