Very Approachable and Enjoyable to Read Study Bible
I have toted around an ESV Study Bible for years, and while I love it I have struggled to really get into it. The notes are outstanding and there's a lot of historical context, but it just comes across as scholarly and above the level of all but the most dedicated students. I selected the Jeremiah Study Bible (ESV) for personal reading and study after doing a good bit of research on ESV-based study bibles. I was looking for a resource that was approachable, easy to read and still would take me on a deeper dive into Bible study. I found what I was looking for in this Bible and am very pleased with it.Dr. David Jeremiah is a respected pastor and Bible teacher, known for excellent expository teaching that is approachable and accessible. That style shows through in his study notes. As I read the notes attached to different verses, I get the feeling of sitting in a Sunday school classroom, whereas my other Bible reads more like a college textbook at times. The writing is clean and straightforward, easy to understand and relevant.There are a number of extra study aids included that go beyond the verse notes. These include smaller sections, with "Tough Questions", "Picture This" and other types of content to draw in the reader. There are also some full-page "Essentials" content that gives the reader some important insight into what the Bible is actually saying in context to the time (an example would be the significance of different sacrifices in the Old Testament) as well as why something is especially important.I finally have a Study Bible that is on my level and that I actually enjoy studying. I find myself focusing more and learning more as I read.The binding on this particular volume is a dark blue, almost waxy-feeling leather, that is somewhat resistant to scuff and abrasions though it does get temporary marks when it is laid down on something - I inadvertently laid it down on my desk with a power cord across the desk, and when I picked up the Bible it had an impression of the cord on the cover but it faded out after a short time. The pages' edges are silver instead of gold. The text is printed on the typical razor-thin paper used in a lot of Bibles.The page edges provided a little exercise for me. Many of the pages were stuck together because of the silver coating, and on the day I received this Bible I spent about two hours separating all of the pages. This was a tedious process but time well spent, as not turning the pages during reading is a non-event instead of taking my attention away just to separate two pages that are stuck together.This is the Study Bible I have been looking for. It is easier to read than many others I have tried but it isn't watered down and elementary either. The study notes are easy to understand and don't shy away from some of the more difficult questions that often arise. If you're looking for a good, solid study Bible that you'll actually enjoy reading and studying, this is an excellent one.

Lovely study Bible with great explanatory and doctrinal notes
Lovely bible. The large print is a very large (meaning long, not thick) study bible. I didn't expect that. I rather it be thicker than longer but that's just me. The leather is very soft to the touch. I wish he offered this is King James Version, as that's my favorite translation. Agree very much with Dr. Jeremiah's doctrinal lessons on the rapture, the Church and Israel being separate entities when it comes to the rapture and tribulation, etc. I like that he allows readers to entertain that Gen 6 "sons of God" refer to fallen angelic beings and the mixing with human women, etc. Well worth the $50-60 price tag here.

Large, Quality Bible
Excellent, soft, faux leather cover. Large print is clear and easy to read. Study notes are great and helpful for understanding what you're reading. It's a little larger than I pictured, but understandable with the large print. Dr Jeremiah is a great Bible teacher and pastor and I know this is going to be a great study Bible.

UPDATE
I’m sure this is a wonderful Bible since Dr Jeremiah wouldn’t put his name on anything else, but I wouldn’t know because I ordered a copy on February 25 and was just informed delivery has been delayed til March 5. Anyone else considering this purchase should keep this timeline in mind. I wanted to cancel and buy another edition but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do this. Not happy.UPDATE--Package apparently was delivered on February 28 BUT to the wrong address. The person who received it kindly delivered it to me.The Bible is beautiful! IMO, it has everything you could want, especially the historical info and articlesby Dr. Jeremiah.

God's Word is Life today
This is such an amazing Study Bible. The print is large enough for tireless reading and learning. I'm so pleased with this daily morning read and use it to follow through on my Audio Bible to get a full love story of what God is still speaking to His people throughout the ages, and is alive speaking to us today.

Dr. David Jeremiah‘s large print Bible.
I needed a large print Bible. I respect and honor Dr. David Jeremiah. This Bible has been very practical and useful in my reading of God’s Word. The extra commentary that Dr. Jeremiah has included has been helpful in furthering my understanding of the Bible.
