New ESV Student Study Bible

There are more Bibles available than ever. There are Military Bibles, Bibles for hunters, Just for Girls Bibles and on and on...

We are often asked what type Bible we recommend. While we embrace and use many different versions within our student ministry there is a great one that we want to make sure you know about.  We are in the process of writing our own Sunday School curriculum. We have encouraged our writers to use the relatively new ESV(English Standard Version) Study Bible. It's unbelievable the amount of information, maps, word studies, and charts that are included in this study Bible.  ESV is the version that our pastor and student staff primarily use.

This is how the ESV's website describes it:
The ESV Study Bible was created to help people understand the Bible in a deeper way. Combining the best and most recent evangelical Christian scholarship with the highly regarded ESV text, it is the most comprehensive study Bible ever published.

The ESV Study Bible features more than 2,750 pages of extensive, accessible Bible resources, including completely new notes, full-color maps, illustrations, charts, timelines, and articles created by an outstanding team of 93 evangelical Christian scholars and teachers. In addition to the 757,000 words of the ESV Bible itself, the notes and resources of the ESV Study Biblecomprise an additional 1.1 million words of insightful explanation and teaching-equivalent to a 20-volume Bible resource library all contained in one volume.

Well, now they have a student version.  Lifeway describes it like this:

"Perfect for those who want to learn more about God's word, this Bible includes 12,000 clear concise study notes;120 character profiles;nearly 900 "Did you know facts?", 80 full color maps,80,000 cross-references, and more."

 It's a theologically sound Study Bible for students that is well worth the money! (and Lifeway has it on sale right now)  Great Back to School gift for sure!!
