Your Favorite Bible. - Page 3

My most treasured Bible is an old family Bible. It is large, heavy and cumbersome w/ wood engraved covers. It was published in the late 1860's or early 1870's. It was our Grandmother's, her Mother gave it to her on her wedding day (so it probably belonged to our Great G-Ma first). Inside is recorded our family history ( since 1873) , births, deaths, marriages, etc..... In the back is a small photo album of family long since gone. This Bible was the one as a child, you could look, but don't touch. I cherish it because it represents my Christian heritage.

No and that is a bummer. Thanks for the tip on Bible Scope. Nothing wrong with having 2 or 3 Bibles on the phone. :-)

I found a Bible in a thrift store in Plano TX, paid 50 cents for it I think, in 1988. It had been given to a young Bride in 1917 and has her whole life in it, birth of her kid's death of her husband, death of her son, other stuff.

That is one of my favorites.

I use the KJV as my favorite, but I use the NIV for school (University).

You could try www.olivetree.com

There are Bible downloads, for Blackberry, for purchase and some are freeware. I'm not sure if they are for the 8220?
