ESV Illuminated Scripture Journal: Old and New Testament Sets Paperback – September 30, 2019

The Lord put it on my heart to buy this set. Everything from the boxes to the book design are so beautiful. To be in the presence of the Lords teachings is a blessing. To anyone thinking of buying this collection please do.

I wanted to study the Bible so badly, but my own Bible was getting written all over and I had so many notes I wanted to take, but didn't fit. Not to mention the overload of seeing so much info to read on all pages... I needed to organize the chaos of my mind and start from the beginning.In comes this set. OMG 😲 I am in LOVE!! I started reading from Genesis... now in Exodus. I can write my thoughts as I go, and I only pull one book at a time. Finish one and put it away and continue with the next one. It makes it easier for my chaotic mind, to organize my thoughts, write down my questions, lessons learned, etc... it is exactly what I needed to get me through to read the Bible. I can take the book I am reading with me easily when I got out and have a chance to sit down and read, as it fits nicely into a medium sized purse or backpack.Also, I am able to read more than one chapter at a time now. I hadn't realized that the chaos of having so much information packed on each page was overwhelming me when reading directly from the Bible. These books offer verses on the left side and an empty page on the right side to write down your comments, questions, etc... the blank page has very light dots in a line to help keep your writing straight but I hardly see it, so I have the flexibility of writting smaller or larger than the intended spaces and it doesn't bother me. If you want well defined dark lines to write on, just keep this in mind.Since getting this set, the study of the Bible has been so much easier. It has allowed me to push forward with my goal of reading ALL the Bible in a way that is comfortable and enjoyable for me. Plus the covers and boxes are beautiful.I had seen reviews of people saying that the books had some edges that were not perfect, and yes it has been the same with mine. BUT it is too insignificant and you won't even see it when you open a book and start reading. Highly recommend this set.

These are beautiful! The type face is bigger and the note taking space is amazing! Every other page is a note taking page!!! The paper quailty is thicker which gives them a nice weight. I'll be using them to make art on the blank pages. The actual Word of God is beautifully translated and very relatable in this version. I honestly have a hard time putting them down when my bible study time is up! I would recommend them!

This is hands down one of the best purchases I’ve made on my Christian journey. If you like to journal or break the Bible down text by text, this is an investment to make.

Beautiful and niceEasy to take one book at time to work and other places in purse

I absolutely love my illuminated scripture journals. I wish they were made in other translations as well.

This is an amazing set of books!! Wonderful for the note taker! A couple of small issues are that the books came mixed up in the box, and needed to be sorted into order. Some of the New Testament books are combined since they are too short to be a volume on their own (which is fine), however some of the books that are in one volume aren’t next to each other in the Bible. If they’re going to combine books, I would think they should put books together that are next to each other. Finally, the note taking pages aren’t lined. I understand this leaves the option open for more creativity, I would have just preferred lined pages.

The media could not be loaded. The quality of this set is very impressive! I was not expecting less because online it still looked of good quality. The reviews were good so I had to get on here and make a video review something I don’t normally do. It’s a very heavy set but I’m sure it’s because it’s a lot of books, now I just have to find someplace to put them. You would not be disappointed, the quality of the paper and the print is absolutely wonderful. I really love this set. I highly recommend, it’s well worth the price and would also make a great gift.
