Bible Reading

The ESV Scripture Journals – A Review

Kirk E. Miller

I received a copy of the ESV Scripture Journal: New Testament Set in exchange for an honest review.

ESV Scripture Journals contain the full text of Biblical books alongside lightly lined, blank pages opposite the text, allowing readers to journal, write out prayers, or take study notes as they read scripture.

You can purchase individual volumes of specific books of the Bible at around $5 a piece. Alternatively, you can purchase the full Old Testament Set, New Testament Set, or the entire Bible at discounted rates. There’s also an electronic (PDF) version available.

Kirk and Dan are gearing up to do a short series on Ecclesiastes. But before they do, they wanted to take a step back and ask, “What’s the benefit of getting a Biblical book’s big picture?” and “How do we do that?”
