My regard for the ESV translation is very high. The rest of my review will be to this individual product. This is a simple bible, small in size, it has a nice leather feel too it, easy to read print because unlike trade Bibles, the paper is of high quality, so there is a crispness to the words. It is not a study Bible, it has very few references, if this is your first Bible purchase, I would recommend the ESV study Bible. This is a great size to throw in your bag, car, or pocket if you have cargo shorts like mine.Great quality, great stuff.
