Zach, something really cool just happened, and I thought you and others might be blessed by hearing about it! I did not enter your contest to win an ESV Study Bible, partially because I already have two ESV Bibles, one of them being the Reformation Study Bible (which I love), with the notes written by a variety of Reformed scholars and edited by R.C. Sproul. I thought that to enter to win the ESV Study Bible would be a form of "spiritual gluttony,* given that I already have various Bibles in different translations and two ESV Bibles.
Well, this morning, after the first service, in Sunday School class, a brother came in with his new ESV Study Bible. I was telling him that I have heard more accolades about this study Bible than about any other one in a long time.
He then asked me, "Well, would you like one?" I was floored! It turns out that he was given *seven* ESV Study Bibles by a financially very well-off friend who actually helped to *fund* this study Bible! Is that not wild?! He has given almost all of them away to family and friends, and now he has one left, which Lord willing, I will be getting for free! God is good beyond even what we think to ask for in our prayers! :-)

Great idea to promo the blog, Zach. The more I've been using the ESV Study Bible, more I'm impressed with it.
