NIV Jeremiah Study Bible - Large Print Leatherluxe for Daily Devotion

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.
