I just bought myself and a couple of my “brothers” a new English Standard Version of the bible. We have just started studying more together and I thought that it would be good to be on the same page per say. Yes the pun was intended. The chruch in which I go has pew bibles that are the Revised Standard Version which I truly dislike. I think that some one was too over zealous or something and left too much of the real meat out in an attempt to make a better readable text. They strayed way too much and I have recently found out that that version is the highly debated by scholars….well that’s enough for me, and it just makes my case a little stronger. Recently I have become enamored with the truth that is behind the Reformed movement and began searching for a more concise text that read well and followed more closely the original text. Well I came across the ESV and am extremely excited about it. Here is a picture of the one I bought myself:

So this is what I bought myself….isn’t it a great looking Bible!!! I LOVE THE LOOK!

Now I wasn’t as bold with my “brothers” on this and got them more subdued ones…here is what I bought them:

I think they will like them.

Perhaps you should check out Westminster Bookstore. They have great prices on many of the items or Bibles that you may be looking for. I got all three at a really good price and only $4 shipping. Can’t beat that.
