Bible Bookmarks – ESV Schuyler Quentel
Here is a copy of my bookmarks in excel format. The page numbers can be changed and then printed out. I used an inexpensive laminator to create a bookmark that would last.

How to measure typeface fonts in a Bible (or any volumn)
Choose a column that contains the same spacing for each line from top to bottom
Measure baseline (bottom of font) from the top line to baseline to last line in millimeters
Divide mm height by number of lines
158mm / 59 lines = 2.678mm
Convert mm to inches
2.678mm / 25.4mm = 0.1054 inches
Convert inches to points
0.1054 inches x 72 = 7.5888 point font
[Reference: 72 points per inch and 25.4 mm per inch]
Schuyler RSV Quentel with Apocrypha
182 / 45 lines = 4.04mm
4.04mm / 25.4 = 0.15923
0.15923 x 72 = 11.8 point font
(Includes the leading or space between the characters)
Published font by Schuyler: 10pt Milo
The smallest font that I am able to comfortably read for extended periods of time is 8.2pt on 8.5pt Lexicon as published by Cambridge in the ESV Diadem edition. However I prefer the example from above as published by Schuyler in the RSV edition.
Here are some examples of Bibles I currently own
Cambridge NRSV w/apoc = 9.3pt
Cambridge ESV Diadem = 8.4pt
Cambridge Topaz = 10.5pt
Schuyler ESV Stridon = 11.1pt
Schuyler RSV Quentel w/ apoc = 11.4pt
Crossway ESV Study Bible = 9.9pt

Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh recites Bible verse to open press conference after playoff win
The Baltimore Ravens are hosting the first conference championship game in Baltimore since 1971 after Lamar Jackson accounted for four touchdowns — two throwing and two rushing — in a 34-10 victory over the Houston Texans Saturday.
The game was tied at 10 at one point, but Baltimore won with 24 unanswered points. After earning a playoff bye, emotions ran high in Baltimore’s locker room, and it was Jackson’s second playoff win.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh opened his postgame press conference by reading a Bible verse. “Greatness, power, glory, victory and honor belong to you, because everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you. The kingdom belongs to you, Lord,” Harbaugh said, via OutKick NFL insider Armando Salguero, reciting 1 Chronicles 29:11.
Harbaugh’s quote came a week after C.J. Stroud, the quarterback Harbaugh’s Ravens beat Saturday, gave “all glory to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ” after the Texans’ playoff win over the Cleveland Browns. Stroud’s comments were edited out of a post on X, formerly Twitter, from the official account of NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”
Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb criticized NBC for the move. “It’s very lame. Players always express that as well, and to have that cut out is truly … it’s disrespectful,” he said. “There are a lot of people out there who are Christians and believe in Jesus, and those who don’t believe in Jesus, still, they don’t feel like that’s disrespectful to them.
“For NBC to do this … they really have to go back … and evaluate themselves. They have to get this thing corrected because that’s definitely not the direction it needs to be going in at this point.”

Schuyler 2024 Roadmap
From the Schuyler Announcement: Schuyler will be introducing the NLT PSQ this year as well as the NKJV Stridon. We will also be introducing more of our aniline calfskin options: desert camel, chestnut, tuscany, saddle brown, siena, olive green, Prussian blue – as well as our faithful black pearl and black goatskin options!! These will be available throughout our line of Bibles. The newly designed ESV will have an apocrypha option as well. This is going to be printed next month. We will also be collaborating with Crossway to produce more Heirloom Study Bibles and perhaps more Heritage editions!
As is often the case, inflation is putting pressure on our prices, as well as the fact that our Bibles are made in the Netherland and Germany (with French paper). The Bible craftsmen and materials in these countries are the best in the world, but they come with a corresponding price tag…
We truly appreciate our Bible community. The Word is such a gift to this generation. We hope that we steward this gift wisely since in our present darkness, the LIGHT that the Word produces is critical and consequential.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

I spent a good portion of my time in the month of December 2023 researching bible reading plans and could not come up with a happy medium or compromise with everything I was seeking. After careful consideration and planning, I produced my own custom Bible reading plan that is constructed precisely the way I like it.
CHRONOLOGICAL NEW TESTAMENT
This plan is unique in that it combines several different approaches to a reading plan as follows: First, I wanted to read the Gospels in chronological order. There are several planes out on the internet that accomplish this, however, I wanted the New Testament to be of a different structure than the Old Testament. I used the Bible Reading Plan Generator to assemble the passages for the New Testament. This generator offers the user several different options to obtain the plan that fits best. I compared to other chronological reading plans and many of them chopped up the chapters into verses like this popular plan found at the back of the ESV Study Bible.
Bible Reading Plans for 2024
This is the Daily Bible Reading Plan that is published in the ESV Study Bible by Crossway. Similar to many plans, it provides for reading the NT and Psalms twice a year while reading the OT in a year. The plan is broken up into 4 sections:
- Gospels and Devotions
- Chronicles and Prophets
- Psalms and Wisdom Literature
- Pentateuch and History of Israel
Every day of the year, the reader will read a chapter or so from 4 different sections of the bible. The list is numbered rather than dated to accommodate for a missed day or needing to take a break.
