English Standard Version Bible

Grace Sight #4 is the English Standard Version Bible.

Christians who have longed for a more readable literal Bible translation will find much to praise in the English Standard Version. The ESV's translation team of over 100 members has admirably attempted to preserve the stylistic variety of biblical authorship and ease of reading (at the eighth-grade level) despite the word-for-word translation, which historically has resulted in a choppier text flow. -- Cindy Cosby

The popular Bible Gateway indexes over 100 translations of the Holy Bible. Many churches and Christians are choosing the relatively new English Standard Version (ESV), among all the options available to them (The ESV Bible was written in 2001).   The following YouTube video explains how the English Standard Version (ESV) is trusted by various Christian leaders.

If you wish to share ESV material there are several  unique ways to do so.

1. Create a shortened internet link of any verse of the ESV.
2. Put audio of the ESV on a website.
3. Retweet from the @esvdaily account on Twitter.
4. Play the ESV Listener's Bible in a place where others will hear it.  

Students of the Bible will appreciate the detailed ESV Study Bible.   J.I. Packer edited each single note in the ESV Study Bible and in the following YouTube video he explains his work on the massive project.

Nick Kennicott wrote a blog post on "10 Reasons Teens Why Every Teen Should Use the ESV Study Bible".  In addition, Bob Kauflin of Worship Matters Blog wrote a post on "Ten Reasons Why I Appreciate the ESV Study Bible".  These posts have some very practical reason why the ESV Bible is appropriate for all ages and will likely be treasured for years to come.  

The ESV Bible Online site at http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/ lists many ways to utilize the ESV. To keep up to date on ESV developments follow the Crossway blog and search for specific references to any ESV posts. Next time you need to buy a new Bible consider making the ESV Bible your translation of choice.
