Crossway has released their update the the ESV Journaling Bible. This time it’s a single-column format. With writing space on the outer margin, it is possible to write notes next to the text the note was meant for. The single-column format greatly enhances the readability of the text and notes. See images below from Crossway’s pdf sample. The paragraph format looks nice. This is a perfect Bible for note-taking and personal devotions.
It is available in several bindings and colors.

I really wish there was a bible like this available in the current NIV translation! I’ve searched and searched but can’t find any with margins this wide. The note-taker’s bible just can’t compare when it comes to journaling space. I’m sure if I give it some time, someone will come out with one like this in more translations. Thanks for all your reviews and photos! They’re so helpful!
Hi Jasmine. Thanks for the kind words!
