When I learned of the ESV Journaling Bible from Crossway, I eagerly awaited it’s arrival! With the wide margins, this Bible is perfect for adding your thoughts as you read the verses on each page. I know that I have some verses that I hold dear to my heart as they spoke to me during different times in my life… I look forward to using this Bible and having the room to journal my thoughts about different things I am going through and how the verses I just read apply to my life at that moment.
I like the hard bound style of this Bible. If a Bible isn’t leather, I would prefer it to be hard bound. My initial thought to the overall aesthetics of this Bible is that it seemed a little small for writing in… but after using the Bible to journal every night, the size of it has not bothered me as I assumed.
What I love about the Bible is that the Word of God is new and relevant every time you read it! The same verse can have a totally different perspective depending on what you are going through in your life. This year, I will be using my ESV Journaling Bible to allow the Spirit of God to show me where I need to improve, to encourage me during times of struggle, and to bring me closer to God.
I highly recommend picking up the ESV Journaling Bible and starting on a path that will lead you closer to God!

I don’t journal in my Bible right now- but I’m intrigued by it! I’ve tried the coloring and meditation practice, and I love it!
No, my bible is so tiny! I make notes but they are always on separate papers and never keep them together well…this would be perfect!
I don’t really journal, but I do take plenty of notes and underline. This Bible just might persuade me to do some journaling though.

I just recently learned about journalling bibles and love the idea of them.
My son is the one that is always writing in his bible, this would be good for him.
I don’t currently write in my Bible, but I think this a neat way to engage in the Word and stay focused.
I keep a separate journal, but this would be perfect to write for insight while reading my bible.
I do not but would love to start to journal while reading the Bible to help learn and gather information and thoughts.
I have never had a journaling bible.. This sounds very interesting and would like to win one!
I don’t have room to journal in my Bible, but like you, I have verses underlined everywhere. This Bible would be so helpful because I could add little notes to the margins and when I go back to re-read verses or chapters in various Bible studies, I would have my previous notes available. This looks like a wonderful Bible!
