Book of the Year: ESV Study Bible

Congratulations to the folks at Crossway. The ESV Study Bible has been announced as the winners of the Book of the Year (2009) by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.

You should also check out the winners in the other categories.

While there are a number of attractive editions of the ESV Study Bible available, it is a rather bulky book and therefore not suitable to carry around. If you're looking for a handy edition to take with you everywhere you go, the best edition is the ESV Study Bible offered by Olive Tree Software on iTunes for the reasonable price of $29.99. It's the only version I own, and the great thing about it is that it fits in my pocket.

Kings

There's a new NBC series called "Kings" based on the story of David in the Bible. I haven't seen it yet (I have it taped), but anybody who's interested better hurry up and watch it because it was a ratings bomb, despite some positive buzz. There's apparently 11 more hours of the episode already filmed, though how long NBC will leave the show on the air is an open question. I hope to have a review of the show after I've seen a few episodes.
