The Cheap Seats blog recently got ten copies of the ESV Study Bible (retail $75) to give away.

If you haven’t seen it before, the ESVSB has wonderful study aids for young and mature Christians alike: book overviews and outlines, detailed illustrations, 50 articles, 20,000 study notes, and about 80,000 cross-references. It’s something we’d recommend for every Christian hoping to understand their Bible more, so it’s exciting to have a few to share with our readers. As C.J. wrote in his endorsement, “I can’t imagine a greater gift to the body of Christ than the ESV Study Bible. It is a potent combination indeed: the reliability and readability of the ESV translation, supplemented by the best of modern and faithful scholarship.”

Since the Study Bible was created to serve the church, this giveaway is built around highlighting God’s grace in your particular local church. We want to hear from you about what God is doing. To enter the drawing, just write a note describing what you most appreciate about your pastor or your local church.

Email this note to us and—voilà—you are entered in the drawing.
