Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by our friends Crossway. They are giving away 5 prizes this week, and each of those prizes will be a copy of their new ESV Reader’s Bible.

Readers BibleThe ESV Reader’s Bible was created for those who want to read Scripture precisely as it was originally written–namely, as an unbroken narrative. Verse numbers, chapter and section headings, and translation footnotes are helpful navigational and interpretive tools, but they are also relatively recent conventions. In the ESV Reader’s Bible they have been removed from the Bible text. The result is a new kind of Bible-reading experience in a volume that presents Scripture as one extended story line.

On the top of each page a verse range is included for orientation. Other features include a single-column text setting, readable type, and a book-like format. The Reader’s Bible is a simple but elegant edition, and is perfect for devotional reading, for extended Bible reading, or for focusing on the overarching narrative of the Bible.

  • Black letter text, with no verse numbers or footnotes
  • Single-column, paragraph format
  • Two ribbon markers
  • This Cloth Over Board edition is packaged in an attractive slipcase

We can and should plead our case before the Lord, for…
