Review:
The ESV Illuminated Bible is absolutely beautiful. The pictures online really do not do the gold ink illustrations justice. It looks even better in person. They picked really great verses to feature in the good lettering. Also, the hard cover and edges of the pages sparkle with gold. So pretty.
 
This Bible is perfect for art journaling...or even just writing notes. There is plenty of room in the side columns for both of these tasks. The only con I see is that it is pretty hefty.  Would not be great for on the go, but it is perfect for keeping at home to journal in.
