Getting ready to purchase my first ESV translation Bible and am considering a couple choices*, one of which is the Single Column Journaling Bible, large print edition ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, Large Print, Mocha Bonded Leather
Although I wish the font was a bit larger (9.5 pt) for my aging eyes, I love the single column layout, which seems to keep me a bit more focused than the two column layout of most Bibles. While I've underlined some here and there in my Bibles, I've never really taken any notes as the pastor or my brothers in Christ have spoken (or thoughts have come to my mind). Growing up it was like "the Bible is sacred and we should never deface it." But now, for my spiritual growth, I feel like taking notes is a must for me.
Can anyone recommend a pen, or pens, that write smoothly and do not bleed through to the back of the page? Is there something I should be specifically looking for in a pen that makes it better geared towards writing in the Bible?
* I've also considered this wide margin Bible because it offers some writing space to the sides with a larger font (11 pt) and more helpful information at the bottom of the page ESV Large Print Wide Margin Bible (TruTone, Brown/Cordovan, Portfolio Design)
Thanks for any and all input/advice you can send my way!!!
