ESV Journaling Bible Review - Comparing 7 Journaling Bibles

[@tescilleriser]

Great review! Almost 3 yrs go, I found the Crossway single column ESV journaling Bible by accident for $15 on clearance at a major Christian bookstore. I immediately began using it for sermon/study notes. It has filled up quick! I bought the Interleaved edition a few weeks ago. HUGE - I agree it is a stay at home bible...Beautiful. I'm not a journaling artist. I just like my notes in my Bible instead of floating around on scraps of papers. Loved your review

[@davidscheurer1715]

There are quite a few bible journal reviews on youtube and I just want to thank you for making the most thorough, descriptive, and CLEAR video out there! It's easy on the eye and truly the most helpful. Thank you!

[@davidscheurer1715]

Oops, just realized I am logged in as my husband. But anyway, thank you! haha

[@crystalbirmingham2402]

I am just getting into the ESV and I have yet to purchase one...have a digital ESV on my tablet and love the translation!! I currently use a HCSB for journaling simply because that is the translation I use with my everyday Bible. This video review was a great help to me. Thank you for taking the time to review these for us and for all of the time you spend on the journaling challenges!! God bless!!!

[@billiebun3122]

Thank you! I live on an island and was trying to look at online pictures to figure out which one would work for me but most of the sites photos were completely not helpful. Your video was! Thank you very much!

[@caphilliips]

I have the first one that you use on your videos this year. I love that one because of the price and it has everything I need.

Awesome review of journaling bibles thanks for sharing

[@KateStones]

Thank you for this review! I've got the ESV Interleaved Bible, which is a wonderful Bible. However, I'm finding it very difficult to do art in it as it does not lie flat when open. And it weighs 1,87 Kg! But it will be the perfect Bible for studying & note-taking.

[@clonefourteen1]

question: are there any esv journaling bibles with the words of Jesus in red? all other versions of journaling bibles have it.

[@clonefourteen1]

thanks; its the most important feature to me.

[@ing-mariekoppel1637]

I always return to yr fantastic reviews when looking for diffrent types of Bibles. I prefer line-free bibles for I find the lines are too far apart. I want to write more tightly.

[@bobrouse8634]

Thanks for your video. With your help, I just purchased the Crossway ESV large print journaling bible in black. I was also glad it is hardcover per Crossway's webpage. I love hardcover bibles. Now to figure out what type of pen, or grade of pencil lead to use.

[@SusanHilesArt]

Hi Rebekah. My favorite is the double column black cover bible you showed first. It's my first journaling bible, so it's special to me. My second favorite is the bible with the brown cover with the leaves on it. I just love the feel of the cover. And my third favorite is the interleaved with the leather cover. It's so expensive I am intimidated to use it! 😆 Thanks for sharing! Sue

[@rebeccaengebretson964]

Wow, what a great video. Thanks for going through all of them. Very beautiful. I am receiving the ESV single column for Mother's Day. I ordered both the single and double column, and returned the double. I prefer the longer length and reading the single column.

[@CalmVibesVee]

You are so helpful. So many to pick from.

[@kerimarie5834]

Believe it or not I have all the bibles you showed in this video, Addicted? yes I am lol! But I love everything about bible journaling! I actually have 2 of the Real Leather crossway bible, and they truly are keepsake/heirloom bibles, and the leather is soo sooooo nice! so with that said, the all leather bible is my favorite bible!

[@lilycarbajal6693]

Hey! Keri Marie, quick question how much did you pay for your leather journaling bible?

[@toris7805]

hoping I get my bible journal soon. I keep trying to purchase one but they either don't carry it in certain Barnes and nobles or they are sold out. this video makes me want one even more! kind of a bummer I cannot purchase one online, it would be a lot easier. Thank you for posting this, I now see I have a lot more options than I originally thought! how exciting!

[@davewood1523]

I love to journal in my Bible but I have a loose leaf bible that use, I can photo copy the page I am studying and I always use a pencil as I do make errors all the time. Love your blog and Thanks for letting me reply.

[@marnelagat]

Thank you for this review. I really appreciate this...love it.Awesome

[@betsyforever32]

love this I had to buy a non journal Bible I'm creating it little by little

[@caphilliips]

Please let us know the font size when you have another Bible review. I want to buy from your links to support you.

[@b.6184]

How do the plain white edges hold up over time? Does gold gilding protect the pages or is it more just for looks?

[@user-mq3vy6ov8e]

I love that interleaved Bible🥰🥰

[@rebekahrjones]

Me too!

[@dr.cameliaghita8071]

I love the review . I'm just sad because Crossway doesn't have the leather small leather bible..I'm wondering why. she is so beautiful..

[@z.paulsugasjr.5544]

Thank you for this informative video, it is greatly appreciated. I purchased the ESV Double Column Bible when they first came out & really love it. I especially like the "What the Bible Says About" feature but don't remember seeing that in the Single Column ESV, is it in both? Also, are the Introductions to the Books of the Bible featured in both? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@dianamolinaro4951]

thank you I appreciate it and you too enjoying your videos

[@Preciouschildvic]

I want a journaling bible but with large print, any suggestions? All of these were lovely. I think I liked the antique floral and the leather with the leaves all on the front.

[@momentsoftruth-artandpoetr4616]

do these kinds of bibles have footnotes/references? I’m searching for an esv bible single column large font with space to write but with footnotes/references

[@gordonbusseau9349]

Great review! Thanks!

[@alaorilla9716]

i WISH they made the single column esv the same square size as the double column. :( i have the SRT and it is too rectangular and bulky for me i've seen the esv double column journaling one on videos here and there and really like the shape and small size..

[@christopherchoa]

Thanks for this review! :)

[@samdp7]

Hi Rebekah, thanks for your review. I was just wondering with the interleaved tan bible (the last one), wouldnt the blank page be too thin for writing in pen? They look quite see through so I feel writing on one side will render the opposite useless?

[@ciannacoleman5125]

Always test the pen on a spare page, but the paper is the same as the written pages and is coated to withstand pens, watercolor, highlighters etc.

[@dianamolinaro4951]

thank you I just wonder why there all pre-order and no release date I pre-ordered one awhile ago but am anxious to get it

[@caphilliips]

Can you recommend one that is close to Bibles you use on youtube with a larger print ? The print is tiny on those two or it is to me.

[@trishameloling2367]

no links to the links for these bibles where to buy them especially the one with the leather leaf front

[@MrToemeister]

Rebekah, my sister, ready to order my Crossway ESV Single Column Journaling Bible Large Print (Natural Leather with Flap and Leather Strap) was wondering what sort of fine tip pen to use for notes that won't bleed through, just using for sermon notes? Thanks

[@MrToemeister]

Rebekah R Jones bless you

[@Andrea.Magana]

would you recommend a soft or hard cover?

[@dianamolinaro4951]

I would like to know what to get if you need large print help!

[@Preciouschildvic]

Thank you so much!!

[@kellykagoshima6963]

Do the hardbacks lay flat when open?

[@Angyl2100]

Can u still personalize your Bible if it has a cloth cover?

[@melissahorton6292]

Could you ask the publisher to make an INTERLEAVED Bible with WHITE paper that is THICKER?

[@rebekahrjones]

I hear you on that. Though, the interleaved Bible is already really heavy and could be unreasonable if the paper were any thicker. Crossway use this cream color on all their Bibles... presumably from the same factory. Probably a close alternative would be the Illustrating Bible by Dayspring, which comes in a couple of colors. The paper is white and thicker, with a 4-6 inch margin on each page. I really like mine! Here it is in the various options: rebekahrjones.com/journaling-bible-guide/view-bible-feature/#SPIRAL

[@creativeinspirations7806]

How are you acquiring all the bibles

[@creativeinspirations7806]

Please come to new Zealand lol

[@alwaysamber4960]

I'm pretty sure with all her gorgeous artwork, bible publishers would be more than happy to provide her with the different styles they make for free :-) If I were a bible publisher like Crossway I'd be begging her to use the products they make.

[@creativeinspirations7806]

Yes quite right

[@wendzcastillo7238]

I would like to have one. :(
