Update on the Top Grain Leather Single Column Legacy Bible

Some of you have been patiently waiting for an update on the status of the Top Grain Leather edition of the Single Column Legacy Bible. Regrettably, there were some production issues with the Top Grain Leather edition that did not meet our high standards*. Please note these production issues were limited to this edition only – the two TruTone and the black Genuine Leather editions do not have the same defects and are available today.

We’ve evaluated the production flaws with our printer and are having the Top Grain Leather editions reprinted as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they will not be available for at least three months. Once we have a firm publication date, we will post it on the Top Grain Leather edition’s product page.

This is designed to be one of the finest Bible editions we offer, meant to last a lifetime, and we were simply unwilling to sell an imperfect product. Please accept our apologies for the disappointment and inconvenience this may cause. If you had preordered the Top Grain Leather edition, please contact your e-tailer’s customer service department for information on how best to proceed with your order.

We look forward to offering this premium product in the coming months. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

*The editions featured in reviews and blog posts on sites such as evangelicalbible.com and bibledesignblog.com were part of a very small shipment of advance copies that did not contain the same defects.

This Christmas Don’t Forget Free ESV E-Books!

One of our primary goals at Crossway is to make the Bible as widely available as possible in all media forms, including e-books. With more and more people trying e-books these days, there’s been an explosion of e-reader devices of all shapes and sizes, for every budget. And within a week or so many will find their way under Christmas trees. You might be giving or receiving one yourself.

If you unwrap an e-reader this year, one of the first things you’ll want to do is start loading it with great content. Did you know the ESV Classic Reference Bible is available for free in every major e-book format?

Download the ESV Bible in the available formats from Crossway’s website, or purchase directly from your e-reader device.* Kindle users can also download the free ESV Bible or the ESV Study Bible ($9.99) directly from Amazon.com.

Whether you receive an e-reader for the first time this Christmas, or have been using one for a while, make sure you load it with the free ESV Bible.

Merry Christmas!

*Note—at the time of this post, due to a glitch in the Nook bookstore, the Nook edition of the ESV Bible was not available for free. Until the issue is resolved, we recommend downloading the ePub file from the Crossway website and installing it on your Nook reader.

*UPDATE: The Nook bookstore has fixed the glitch. The ESV Bible is now available for free.

Video: Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert Discuss “What is the Mission of the Church?”

Join Scott Anderson as he talks with authors Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert about their newest book What is the Mission of the Church?: Making Sense of Social Justice, Shalom, and the Great Commission. This is a two part interview: Part One spends time getting to know the authors and the backstory of this book as well as talking about “higher level” issues while Part Two (beginning at 47:45) spends time talking about more specific topics and questions raised in the book.  Watch the full video or skip ahead to some central themes:

  • 16:57: DeYoung and Gilbert share the back story of What is the Mission of the Church?
  • 22:24: What do the terms “mission”, “missional”, and “missions” mean? Are these terms still functional?
  • 39:39: Should there be a distinction between the mission of the universal Church and the mission of the local church? What is a believers’ individual mission?
  • 47:45: DeYoung and Gilbert answer the question “What is the mission of the church?”
  • 57:10: A discussion on the nature of Jesus’ mission in the world, how it relates to our mission, and why they are not the same.
  • 1:10:40: Why the chapter on Story is so important in relation to shalom, social justice, and God’s mission.
  • 1:16:58: What does Scripture say about social justice?
  • 1:26:53 – The place of “good works” in the church
  • 1:34:08 – Reflection on Jeremiah 29:7 and what it means to seek the welfare (shalom) of the city.
