ESV Super Giant Print Bible TruTone Burgundy - Easy Large Print

In this review of the ESV Super Giant Print Bible the bottom line is simple: this edition is built for readers who need very large, highly readable text. The Bible uses a 17-point type size set on a roomy 7 in x 10 in page to make reading comfortable for people with mild to moderate low vision or anyone who prefers less eye strain during long sessions of study. Our review finds the layout choices, like the center rule and full-color maps, are practical touches that improve directional focus and reference use without adding unnecessary ornamentation.

Key Features

• Very large 17-point type: The oversized font makes verse and chapter reading easier to follow and reduces the need for reading glasses for many users.
• Optimized for low-vision readers: Layout decisions informed by vision experts, such as a center rule between columns, help guide the reader's eye across the page.
• Generous page size: The 7 in x 10 in pages provide more line length and spacing, which improves readability compared with compact Bibles.
• Durable sewn binding: Sewn binding keeps the Bible laying flat over time for reference and study without pages separating.
• Included accessories: A ribbon marker, presentation page, black card for behind pages, and full-color maps add practical value for study and gifting.

Who It's For

The ESV Super Giant Print Bible is best for readers who prioritize readability above portability: seniors, those with visual impairment, or anyone who tires of small text when reading scripture aloud or quietly. It also suits home or church use where a large readable text makes group reading easier.

Those who need a lightweight, pocketable Bible for daily carry or travel should look elsewhere, since customers note the Bible is fairly heavy and wide; likewise, if you prefer ultra-thin paper or a smaller form factor, this edition will feel bulky.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 17-point font significantly improves legibility for long reading sessions.
• Thoughtful layout features like center rules and black card inclusion reduce page show-through and aid focus.
• High-quality materials and sewn binding make it durable and suitable as a gift.

Cons

• At about 2,500 pages and two inches thick, the Bible is heavy and not convenient to carry in a small bag.
• Some readers find the thickness and paper feel thinner or heavier than they expected.
