MY REVIEW:
From the beautiful and sturdy slipcase to the attractive cloth covered hard cover and the gorgeous illustrations throughout, the Illuminated Bible is a special addition for the art lover’s library. This ESV bible is fairly large and heavy with over 1600 pages. While it might not be best for everyday Bible study, I can see spending quite a bit of time viewing and meditating on the special gilded illustrations scattered throughout its pages. Each book of the Bible has a full page illustration at the beginning and other full page illustrations appear frequently. The outside edge of each page has a wide margin. Some of the margins include illustrations of scripture verses. Other margins are blank for your own notes or illustrations. If you like, you can add a touch of color to any of the included illustrations. The cream colored pages are quality paper that is smooth to the touch.
Everything about this Bible speaks of quality and I will be honored to display it on my coffee table so others may enjoy it also.
I am pleased to offer one copy to one of my readers. Be sure to check out my GIVEAWAY HERE.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this Bible provided by Propeller/FlyBy Promotions. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.
This new ESV edition looks so gorgeous—I just love all those gilt illuminations. I’d love to use it during my devotions as a reminder both of God’s marvelous creatorship and of the centuries of believers who have come before me!
