ESV Pew and Worship Bible, Large Print (Black)

I purchased this English Standard Version bible because I read it is one of the most accurate word for word translations of the Bible. The same is said for the NASB translation, so now I use these two bibles for my personal bible studies. I really like the English Standard Version translation. It is very clear and easy to comprehend. It is also quite different from the NASB in places, not in context so much as in specific word choice, which I find very helpful while studying the Bible. The other thing I really like about this specific bible is that it is a version made for the pew’s in church, meaning it is a sturdy hardback, with larger print. It is easier on the eyes, particularly in the early morning or evening. And, I like this translation so much I find myself using it more than the NASB.

I like the fact that this Bible is large print. I take it to church as it is easy to see and easy to use!!

Beautiful Bible, great quality.

Great value for a lightweight Bible with decent size print font, easier to carry around than many options. Front cover is nice.

I am a person with diminished vision, having had nine surgical interventions in my eyes. For that reason I have difficulty reading the standard print, (10 Point print), of my old Bible. In fact, I have to use a magnifying glass to do so. So I decided to order a Giant Print ESV Bible, with 15 Pt. print size, which Amazon offered on a Pre-Order basis. Two days later they advised me by email that the Bible ordered was no longer available. That left me in some desperation, as I needed an urgent solution to my problem. The only alternative I could find is this Large Print ESV Bible. I was hesitant to order it because it has a 12.75 Pt. print size, which in reality is only 50% greater than that of my old Bible. But I finally decided to take a chance with regard to it's adequacy for me and ordered it. I also specified expedited shipping because I live in Colombia, South America. The Amazon estimate of earliest delivery time was 10 Days. I was delighted when it arrived, delivered to my front door in 11 Days! Also the Customs Authority here did NOT demand payment of Duty and Value Added Tax, which was an extra bonus. The Bible, it's Box and the packaging were all in perfect condition. Opening the Bible I found, with much joy and satisfaction, that I could read the texts easily and comfortably with my normal reading glasses. So, my anxieties regarding the print size were exaggerated. The Bible itself is of high quality and finely crafted. The paper of the pages is thin, very white and of traditional bible quality. When reading the texts, I am not conscious of any bleed-through of the print. The type face is excellent, uniform, fine and of great precision. The page layout is spacious and uncluttered, which makes it a pleasure to read. The binding is sewn and the Bible lies flat when opened. The Leather cover is of excellent quality, flexible and good to the touch. I can recommend this Bible to anyone, but particularly to those who may hesitate to buy it because of the print size. I am a first time buyer and congratulate and thank Amazon for the efficiency and quality of their service.

I love this Bible. It is true to color and beautiful. The cover feels soft and is flexible, not plastic-like or stiff-feeling. However, I don't think I was actually sent a Large Print version of it. I don't mind and didn't personally need the text to be large. I purchased this as part of a gift for a church ladies' Christmas party gift exchange. I liked it so much that I got my own gift! If it had been taken by someone else such as an elder lady, it might have been an issue that this wasn't, in fact, very large print. I no longer have the box this came in, so I can't double check, but either this is not the large print version OR it is just not very large print compared to others also advertised as such. I haven't been highlighting or writing in this Bible yet so far, but the pages look and feel thick enough to handle it if a Bible highlighter were used. Overall, this Bible is my daily reader and very loved.

Beautiful bible!

Great Bible for a gift. Large print was smaller than I expected. Luckily, it was for a younger person with better eyes than I. Beautiful design on the outside.
