ESV Journaling Study Bible

If you can read regular print size this is perfect for you and easy to understand. Has tons of charts and resources some I put in pictures. Love the cover it’s hard and with a soft texture and elegant design and look. For people with aged eyesight if you can read it with glasses it’ll be ok if you want larger print search a larger print ESV Bible. This is the first actual study/journal Bible in one and I absolutely love it, tons of study material and notes with helpful resources plenty of note space. The pages are regular thickness no major bleed through with sharpie highlighters or any of my pens I use paper mate felt tip pens. I like this version and the NLT the best and I have CSB and KJV ad NIV and this ESV is clearer than the NIV is to understand and read. Reminds me a little bit of KJV in a clearer language. If you are looking for the go ahead to order than look no farther if this print is easy for you to read it’s my favorite by far and I use this with another Bible or two I have with study notes and different translations to get everything and most days just use the ESV. The purpose was to have everything in one Bible and this delivered my expectations in a study/note taking Bible in one! Everything right there when you open so you don’t have to look in a notebook for notes and makes it easy to reread. Not normally a hard cover fan but this lays flat and is perfect for writing your notes in. I have 1 or 2 others that are hard and this is my favorite out of all of them. Still reading well Go Buy It You’ll thank me later!

I purchased this Bible because I wanted something more than just words on a page — I wanted an experience that would draw me into the presence of God. This Bible exceeded every expectation. It’s not just a Bible; it’s a masterpiece. It includes detailed maps, cross-references, study notes, historical visuals, and even illustrations that show how people dressed in biblical times. The built-in Bible dictionary and reference sections make study easy and engaging, while the large print and beautiful layout make reading an absolute joy. There’s even room to write reflections and prayers — though honestly, it’s so beautiful I’m ordering a second copy just to keep one untouched. From the durable hardcover to the stunning design and attention to detail, this Bible feels like both a study tool and a family heirloom — something worthy of being passed down from generation to generation. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to dive deeper into God’s Word or simply display a Bible that embodies both faith and beauty. I was blessed to find it on sale, and it’s truly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

I adore this study Bible. It has so much useful commentary that helps assess the culture and time period of different biblical encounters. I’ve found it has really helped me read and understand the Bible better. It’s so pretty and such great quality. The margins are also perfect for notes.

This is my absolute favorite Bible I’ve had. There’s so much room to write, but the study notes at the bottom are so helpful when reading. The cover is similar to a suede feel and it looks very sleek and elegant.

The ESV Journaling Study Bible is a wonderful choice for anyone wanting to slow down and reflect more deeply on Scripture. The wide margins provide plenty of space for notes, prayers, and thoughts, making it a great tool for personal study or quiet time. The ESV translation is clear and readable, and the included study notes offer helpful context without overwhelming the text. The build quality is solid, with a durable cover and good paper that holds up well to pens and highlighters. Whether you’re looking to engage more personally with the Bible, take sermon notes, or track your spiritual growth over time, this Bible offers both beauty and practicality. Five stars for a thoughtful, well-designed study companion.

This Bible is exactly what I was hoping for a more!! I wanted a study Bible and journaling Bible in one. And this goes above and beyond my expectations. Lots of study resources throughout and gorgeous maps and diagrams!! The cover is sturdy board with a gorgeous suede feel. I own so many Bibles, many translations so I can cross reference, and this one is one of the most beautiful Bibles I've seen! As for the translation, the ESV is more on the word for word end of the spectrum but still easy to follow and understand. I've read the KJV, NIV, and NLT as well and the ESV is a great in between for those needing something easier to understand than the KJV but less thought for thought than the NIV or NLT. (Look up the translation spectrum for a better breakdown!) Overall, highly recommend!

The cover is simple and beautiful and arrived exactly as pictured. However, it has a suede-like texture that easily absorbs moisture, dust and stains (this is the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars.) I have to keep it in a bible bag/case at all times. I like having the lined margins on every page for note taking. The "study" version also includes tons of footnotes, outlines, maps, timelines, character profiles and explanations for most of the content. Having no prior experience with reading the bible, I find these study notes to be very helpful for understanding the historical and cultural contexts. Being an ESV bible, it is considered a direct translation into English from original Greek and Aramaic texts. It is NOT written in simple English, and may be hard to read for some. The text is tiny - get your readers or magnifying glass ready! The margins and plethora of notes make it larger and heavier than other bibles that I've seen. For me, the extra size and weight is worth it for the additional content.

I compared many different designs of this study Bible before purchasing, and I’m so glad I chose this one. When I received it, I was genuinely so happy 💕 the nubuck caramel cover feels beautiful in person, soft and high quality, and even better than I expected from the photos. The size and weight feel just right, and the journaling space is very practical without making the Bible feel bulky. I always check other people’s reviews carefully before making a decision, and this one truly lived up to what others shared. Just wanted to shout out that my first Amazon order was finally a success! if you’re deciding between different designs, I highly recommend this one

The Bible I use daily for my studies. Thanks to galaxy book store for making this bible available in India which was hard to get in hand.

Lots of room to journal and quality study content. Love the added features like concordance and how to read the bible. Will definitely be getting again!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Nice paper, nice print, nice cover. I was hesitent to use it as intended, then my cat scratched de cover and now the spell is broken. Paper sufficiently thick for note taking. Totally recommend.

Very tactile cover. Comes in cardboard sleeve. Nice illustrations. A good inch space for notes at side.
