The ESV Bible (English Standard Version) is an "essentially literal" translation of the Bible in contemporary English. Created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors, the ESV Bible emphasizes "word-for-word" accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning. It is available in hundreds of print editions and free online via mobile app (iOS and Android) and at ESV.org. Since its publication in 2001, the ESV has gained wide acceptance and is used by church leaders, numerous denominations and organizations, and millions of individuals around the world. Crossway offers the ESV Bible for free online and via mobile apps, with tens of millions of users from nearly every country. The ESV Study Bible, with twenty thousand notes and two million words in over 2,700 pages, became a bestselling Bible and was the first Bible to be named the "Christian Book of the Year" by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. The ESV Bible and ESV Study Bible notes have been translated into more than 50 languages. Crossway has distributed hundreds of thousands of ESV Bibles and books to pastors, teachers, students, missionaries, and ministry leaders across the globe, equipping them to learn and share God's Word. 12058422 142923 15618134 Book Publishing Our book department promotes and publishes the greatest news in the world through the medium of printed and digital books.

Each year, Crossway distributes free books to a variety of ministries in the United States and overseas, in addition to funding book translation, printing, and distribution assistance. 934993 17792 883035 Tract Publishing and Other Program Services Crossway is committed to distributing resources that equip the global church for ministry and providing God's word to people around the world.

This information is then compiled, and recommendations for all officers and key employees, as well as a general percentage increase for all other employees, are submitted to the compensation committee. The compensation committee reviews, discusses, has the ability to change recommendations, and then approves the submission, which in turn is brought to the full board by way of recommendation of the compensation committee. The full board then takes the recommendation, has further discussion if necessary, and then approves the recommendation from the compensation committee. Compensation committee members (and any family members on the board) who are also compensated officers are excused from the part of the meeting that would cover any discussion over compensation or bonuses. The decisions regarding compensation are then documented in the minutes.
