ESV Staff Favorites

December 14, 2021

Crossway ESVStaff Favorites - Our Personal FavoriteEditions of God's Word
only one that needs no caveat. In a year filled with uncertainties
Josiah's Picks - and have always tried to emulate his example unsuccessfully. I’d partially fill
ESV Proverbs Daily Wisdom“If you’re like me, it can become easy to read the Bible (especially Proverbs) like an extended Twitter feed–we skim, get the gist, and move on. But God’s Word is meant to be savored; to soak into us over minutes and hours rather than seconds. The thoughtful design of this edition divides Proverbs into 365 sections, one for each day of the year. The result is a format that invites you to stop, focus, and spend more time contemplating the text. It goes a long way to preventing a ‘newsfeed approach’ to reading. It’s an excellent edition to keep on your bedside table, read over dinner, or gift to a child heading off to college.”
ESV Bible with Creeds & Confessions“We liked this Bible so much that we made our own custom edition. The historic statements of the Church teach us humility as we read the Bible not as individuals, but as a united body of believers past and present. They give us hope by reminding us that what we believe does not change. This edition, with notes by Chad Van Dixhoorn, allows Christians of the present to actively read God’s Word along with the “cloud of witnesses” from generations past. “
Alfie's Picks - ESV Personal Reference Bible“I don't remember the number of these that I have given away when out doing evangelism with the church. The single column format is unintimidating to people who have never read a bible before and it is small enough that I can have a spare one in my back pocket when I have given the first one away.”
ESV Gospel Transformation Study Bible “This is the Bible I use for family worship. On the evenings when I am worn out and too tired to share something helpful from the text, the notes for each chapter are helpful pointers to Christ. It has served my family very well. The single column format is also a delight to read from.”
ESV Journaling Bible“I have had this Bible for years and have found it to be very versatile. It's portable but readable, and good for personal devotions as well as taking notes while studying and preparing to teach and preach. ”
ESV Story of Redemption Bible“The layout of this Bibles makes it easy to read and the notes are very helpful without being intrusive. The notes do a great job of orienting you to where you are in the history of redemption and helping you to understand how what you are reading fits in the overarching story of the gospel. It's great for both new and seasoned believers. ”
Unfolding Grace: 40 Guided Readings Through the Bible “Beautifully produced with excellent devotions. This 40-day reading plan guides you through the story of redemption in a tour through Scripture. Every time I glance at this on the shelf, I want to pick it up and start reading again.”
ESV Personal Reference Bible“This is the perfect teaching and preaching Bible. It's small enough to hold open in one hand, with an easy-to-read single-column layout, and thousands of cross-references. I can't recommend this edition enough.”
ESV Bible, Classic Thinline Edition“I love this thinline Bible. I purchased this Bible a year and a half ago with the hopes of no longer needing the Bible on my phone at church and small groups. It has met that need by being both portable and durable enough to share space in the bag with the crayons and markers. It has also become my go to for morning devotions and assisted me in creating a ‘seamless hand-off experience’ between Sunday and Monday-Saturday reading.”
ESV Value Thinline Bible“This Bible is the one I have given away the most. I carry one in my slightly large purse and have had opportunities to give it away. It's beautiful, easy to read, and it's affordable enough to replace if I give away the one I have on me. I also recommend this Bible to churches a lot for gifts for Baptisms, welcoming new members, or for high school graduations. The 10 diverse cover options allow for a fun personal touch, particularly for gifting.”
ESV Study Bible“I received my first ESV Study Bible as a Christmas present back in 2008 and have enjoyed it from the beginning for the integrity of the study notes, the ease of reading, and pleasant format. I use it regularly for teaching preparation and daily devotions. I have lost count of the number of times I have recommended it for Christians looking to better understand the Bible and the times I’ve bought it for gifts. It’s been 12 years since I was introduced to this study Bible and it’s still the best all around Study Bible that I have ever used. ”
