Free of Verse Numbers and Footnotes, This ESV Bible Provides a Sleek Reading Experience That Places the Emphasis on the Words of Scripture
The ESV Reader's Bible was created for those who want to read the books of Scripture as they were originally written. Verse numbers, section headings, and translation footnotes are helpful navigational and interpretive tools, but they are also relatively recent conventions.

Pages include the book of the Bible and chapter numbers in the margins for orientation, as well as a single-column text setting and readable type, all in a book-like format. The ESV Reader's Bible is a simple but elegant edition, perfect for devotional or extended Bible reading that focuses on the overarching narrative of God's Word.

Life can drain us. Some days deplete us of energy, time, ideas or support. We try to renew with rest, play, family or retreats - but ultimately, it is God alone who can restore us. The book of Ruth is a story of restoration. Naomi finds herself emptied of all she loved, but that's not how the story ends. You are invited to spend time with the book of Ruth. It is a story of redemption for men and women who long to be restored in life and faith.
