Glimpses bulletin #35: Young Mary Jones' Bible made a difference

This is a great story of how one young person's desire for a Bible, led to a whole movement that provides Bibles for millions of people. I believe that every Christian church should give away Bibles freely and generously. If Jesus and his teachings are really as important as they suggest, if we really believe the Bible is in some way the Word of God Almighty Himself, then every Christian church should have them available. They should all be working together on this project and there ought to be a massive publicity campaign. Churches ought to have reputations with everyone in their community that, "If anyone wants a Bible, stop by a church. They're free there with various sizes, styles and translations." I have Bibles available at every worship service. If anyone from the North Country is reading this and you want a free Bible in a readable translation, and/or you want to be involved in a thought provoking Bible study — contact me immedately or stop by ¡alive@5!. I'll make your wish come true!
