So I’m considering buying new Bible. I’m starting to see several people using a pretty nice black ESV. I’ve never used ESV before, so I’m not sure what to think. I’ve always been an NASB, and more recently NIV, kinda guy.
The thing that’s funny, though, is that page at the beginning of every (English) Bible. Presented to [blank] by [blank] on [blank]. Does anybody ever fill this out? I mean, I suppose you do if you give the Bible as a gift. But every Bible I’ve ever owned, I bought myself. Can’t you just see it? Presented to Keith by Keith on Feb. 20. Then I’d add a nice little note. I think you’re swell. Or maybe something like You’re a great guy, enjoy this. Maybe I should get more serious. Oh you wretched sinner, you need this book. Could you imagine the double-take you’d get when you loaned it to somebody else during service and they happen to flip open to that page? It just may be worth it.
