I pre-ordered ESV Study Bibles for my wife and me on May 19th and have been looking forward to their arrival ever since. We both got the Literary Study Bible and read through it in the first 90 days of this year. I since got the ESV Reformation Study Bible and have been using it in my devotions for a few months. Still, I am anxious to get the new Study Bible. Why? Well, it’s like my wife says: “Mark, you’re a Bibleholic.”
About a month ago, I was notified by my credit union that my card number was found amongst 40+ million numbers that were stolen by some mob in Florida. The FBI notified my CU of my stolen number and the CU sent me a new card with a new number. The problem is that I pre-ordered the Bibles with the stolen number. About two weeks ago, I used the contact page on the Crossway website to let them know I’d need to give them a new number. Evidently the folks at Crossway are so busy getting ready to ship that they have not had time to respond to my message.
So I called today and Denise at Crossway ran the new number and we’re squared away. The new Study Bibles ship the week of October 20th. Mine is calfskin. Did I mention that I’m anxious?
