![]() You can also find any member of the New Testament set for sale separately-here are the links for Luke, as an example: Amazon, Westminster. If you’d like to buy the entire set, check Amazon or the Westminster Bookstore. Crossway has done a great job with this set-I hope they’re working on the Old Testament! They can help us interact with the Bible in an undistracted way. These Scripture journals will serve a great purpose for many people. If you’re studying a book of the Bible in a class or through your church’s current sermon series, these journals make a great place to take notes-right next to the Bible text! These are perfect for archiving and future reference-I’d be much more likely to keep a journal like this and come back to it after a few years (perhaps when studying that book again) than I would be to track down notes scattered throughout the pages of a nondescript notebook. ![]() If every group member had the relevant Scripture journal, I think it would be easy to encourage everyone to do some OIA preparation too. ![]() Everyone would have the same translation, no one would be tempted to quote their study Bible notes, and the volumes are relatively cheap to buy (each of the 19 volumes retail for $5.99, but they can be found cheaper than that online). These would be a fantastic way to get all members of your small group interacting with God’s word. You have plenty of space and no distractions. ![]() Each of these journals would make a great dedicated volume for an in-depth study of a book of the Bible. I can see a number of good ways they might be used. If you’re looking for a good way to combine Scripture reading or study with writing, I highly recommend these journals. I suspect these journals weren’t intended to be opened to the middle before the beginning, so my use could be to blame for this (admittedly minor) concern. The cover isn’t straight and the journal doesn’t close quickly. After opening the Luke volume and doing a good bit of Bible study in chapters 9 and 10, the journal has lost a bit of its shape (see below) when I close it. My only small complaint is about the binding. The lines on the right are printed just dark enough to guide you when writing but light enough to make room for drawing or other free-form methods of journaling. But the Bible text is also printed with roomy margins and interline space, so I have plenty of room to circle, underline, and write notes and questions on the Bible side of the page. There is plenty of room to take notes on the journaling side of the page. This is exactly what one wants in a journal. The journals also lay flat on the first use. But there is no such problem with these books. This is normally a concern about journals for anyone who, like me, uses a gel pen. I love that the paper is thick enough to prevent ink bleeding through to the other side. I’ve really enjoyed using my Scripture journal. I have been using the Luke journal for a few months now, and my daughters have used the Ephesians and Matthew volumes. In exchange for an honest review, Crossway generously provided me with a set of these Scripture journals. The New Testament set comes in an attractive slipcase. The font is large and readable (11.75 point size), the paper is thick and sturdy, and each volume has an inviting feel. The Bible text is printed on the left page, and some lightly-printed lines grace the right page. These soft-cover journals have a simple layout. Available either individually or as a 19-volume set, these books are unique. In the spring of 2018, Crossway introduced the ESV New Testament Scripture Journals. The trend toward producing a Bible for journaling may have reached its climax in the ESV Scripture Journal project. Publishers create wide margins, blank space below the text, or even inspiring art to spark reflection and creativity. These features coupled with captivating cover artwork make each Bible conducive to creative engagement with God's Word.A lot of Bibles have been produced over the past ten years with an eye toward journaling and taking notes. Each artist offers a visual entry point focused on a particular biblical theme or passage, setting a tone of awe as readers engage with the Bible.Įach of these decorative hardcover Bibles retains the features of the original ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, such as cream-colored paper, a single-column page layout, and lines in the margin for note taking. These Bibles feature commissioned cover artwork designed by Christian artists such as Peter Voth, Ruth Chou Simons, and Joshua Noom. The ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, Artist Series is a collection of journaling Bibles meant to celebrate the treasure of God's Word through the artistic talents of his people.
