ESV Scripture Journals pair the text of individual books of the New Testament with lightly lined blank pages opposite each page of biblical text. This allows readers to take extended notes or record insights and prayers directly beside corresponding passages of Scripture. This edition features the book of John, and is thin and portable-great for personal Bible reading and reflection, small-group study, or taking notes through a sermon series. Currently, we are concluding our studies in the Gospel according to John. After March, we will begin a new study in the book of 1 Corinthians. You can purchase your books by clicking on the link of the book titles: JOHN 1 CORINTHIANS
