English Standard Version Journaling Edition Bible

Gareth Russell reviews the Moleskine-esque ESV Journaling Edition Bible, complete with an elastic band.

It even lays flat!

"The Journaling Edition comes in an attractive plain black hardcover, with the only writing and decoration on the cover being some silver writing on the spine that says, “ESV || Journaling Bible || Crossway”. There’s no tacky crown of thorns on this cover or Celtic crosses, instead just a thick black elastic band that provides a touch of decoration. The elastic band is of a good quality too, I was initially concerned that the elastic band would be able to come loose from the cover but upon closer inspection it seems to be firmly attached to the back cover..."

I got this about a month ago. I've used it everyday since. The poeple on staff who came up with the concept love Moleskines and many of them journal. It's seemed like an obvious decision to make.

I think the quality is very close to an original Moleskine. A natural fit if you read a Bible and journal.

I like it! Those margins are huge, for note taking?

Yes, the margins are lined for note-taking (you can't see the lines in the photos, but they're there).
