Why the ESV? The English Standard Version is a Scripture translation that children can read and memorize, youth can grow into as they study the Bible, and adults can cherish for its accuracy and precision. The ESV is both literal and readable—a desirable blend for churches committed to providing theological truth for people of all ages. This translation can be used from childhood through adulthood. Children Desiring God is now providing churches with the option of God-Centered Sunday School curriculum that corresponds with the ESV. This allows children, youth, teachers, and parents to use a version that is both literal and readable together in both adult worship services and children's programs.

Upgrading to ESV
We are grateful for our ministry partners who have invested in CDG’s NIV curriculum. We desire to make it as easy as possible for you to begin using the ESV. We are offering a conversion discount for those who have previously purchased an NIV Teacher Kit or Leader’s Edition and would like to convert to the ESV. These resources are designed to replace the original Teacher’s Kit and Leader’s Editions that are priced at $45 each. Please call us (888.346.4700) to receive this discount; our Resource Consultants will work with you to verify proof of purchase. This offer is not available online.
