Hey friends Iβve had some folks ask me about some gift ideas for Bibles and books. π π
Hereβs a few recommendations:
πβοΈ π©βπ« π¨βπ« ESV Study Bible: https://www.amazon.com/ESV-Study-Bible-Bibles-Crossway/dp/1433502410/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Esv+study+Bible&qid=1607972797&sr=8-1
πβοΈBible (without study notes). I preach from and (mostly) read ESV. ESV is a literal translation but in understandable language. Itβs not slang, but it is accessible without compromising true meaning. Btw, esv is not the only great translation. Itβs just the one I use the most so itβs my recommendation π https://www.amazon.com/s?k=esv+bible&crid=3QFW75XUG4DX5&sprefix=Esv%2Caps%2C208&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-a-p_3_3
