Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: First of all, the ESV is simply a great translation. It is really faithful to the text, but easier to read and more stylistically elegant than the NASB. I just made the transition to ESV from NIV.Now, I have gone through the NIV One Year Bible probably three or four times. It really is a worthwhile experience. If you struggle with having a regular Bible study time, using the One Year will keep you on track. Plus, it enables you to get through the whole Bible without bogging down; many people just start from Genesis and lose it somewhere in Leviticus. Leviticus is important (all scripture is God-breathed) but perhaps not as immediately relevant to the Christian today. This way you read it and something from the New Testament. In short, I have to agree with the above reviewer. This is a great Bible study system with a great translation. If you are used to NIV (or some other translation) then the reading the ESV is a way to make the Word (and the Gospel) seem fresh and new. Grace and Peace to all of you!

Summary: Exceptional devotional - exceptional translation
Review: I found this book extremely useful in my daily devotional time. The selection of an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, a Psalm selection, and a Proverb selection is ideal. The English Standard translation is outstanding in its accuracy and readability. The selections are short enough to be read in fifteen minutes or less. It will not replace your current bible, but I highly recommend it to anyone.
