The English Standard Version is a literal translation from the original Bible texts, firmly rooted in the tradition of Tyndale and King James but without their archaic language. First published in 2001, it is closest in style to the Revised Standard Version and is well suited to public reading and memorization. The ESV Wide-Margin Reference Bible is an enlargement of Cambridge's ESV Pitt Minion Bible. The text arrangement and pagination of the Bible text are identical but this edition uses enlarged text, has wide margins for personal notes and is printed on paper that stands up well to note-taking. Another bonus for bible study is a more extensive concordance. This Bible has red-letter text and includes cross-references, a concordance and maps. It has two ribbons and, like all Cambridge Bibles, it is Smyth-sewn for durability and ease of use. It is a superb example of traditional craftsmanship: the pages have art-gilt (red-under-gold) edges; the cover is made from top-grain goatski

《沿著季風的方向》是劉子超的旅行文學代表作之一。他帶領我們前往季風吹拂的國度，在歷史與現實的穿梭中，捕捉這些正在發生巨變的地區的靈魂。在恆河河畔，他在眼中含淚的朝聖者和火葬臺上的黑霧中，體會印度人近乎本能的生命延續感；在緬北金三角，他遇到說話文雅的華僑後人，艱難維繫當地一所中文學校；在泰柬邊境，他探訪被地雷包圍的古寺，揭開一段隱秘的傷痛記憶；在印尼的伊真火山口，煉獄中謀生的硫黃工人向他伸出援手，他意識到人的存在才是爪哇的靈魂。他目睹現代化未能侵蝕的尊嚴感，也看到金錢與愛情的荃球化交換；他見證文明的喪失和苦難的誕生，也頓悟支撐人類活下去的信念。他與形色各異的人物和生活相遇，以富有洞察力的冷靜筆觸，書寫在這樣的世界，還有這樣的人，在這樣地生活。

The Turquoise Reference Bible was originally created in the 1920s and has stood as a superb and well-loved example of classic Cambridge typographic design for ninety years. The text is presented in a large, bold, traditional typeface, with cross-references and the words of Christ while on Earth are printed in red. For this edition the concordance has been freshly typeset, and it also includes a map section and the Translators' preface, their compelling account of the principles underlying the publication of the KJV in 1611. The Bible is printed on fine India paper and fully sewn, allowing it to lie flat when in use and adding extra durability. It has gilt-edged pages and is bound in black calf split leather. The large format, superior materials and manufacturing excellence make this a perfect choice as a Family Bible or a desk or presentation Bible for those in Christian ministry.
