I have been clicking on “track order” too often than I care to admit. With anticipation like it was Christmas morning, my new Bible arrived. All 4 1/2 lbs. of new Bible. It’s pretty mammoth.
Mark’s all into his ESV app. Not me. There’s something to be said about holding the 4 1/2 lbs. of crisp linen paper bound in soft brown leather that just engages the senses and draws me in. I can’t help but hold it and breathe in that new Bible smell and start reading.
Now, let’s all hope I spend more time actually in this book than the time I spent deciding on it. You know I overthought this one like crazy.
OH I LOVE my ESV bible!! Praise God for His written word!!
It’s soo pretty!!
We are so alike on this end. I love a real page turning experience. The smel of the leather and crinkle of the pages. Yes please. I haven’t read this translation so I will need to hop over to Bible Gateway to have a look-see. I’ve been loving the Message. It’s not what I have memorized etc but love the fresh new perspective when I got burned out. It was just the pick me up I needed. I’ve given several as gifts and worn out one so far.( hoping to get the first rebound) congrats on your new Bible!
