Some Cuh, like the irony of stealing it, somewhat of a turn on I guess
in a weird way. Kinda the double turn on, ripping off one from someone
that would give it to you for free. The best selling and most stolen,
go figure. Ha! That silly ole' book.


My son had a personalized Bible stolen from my wife's car. *It was the
only item of value in the bag the thief grabbed, and it served him
right :-)


Now that would be pretty upsetting, I've never owned one that had my
name on it - that would be pretty cool.
FWIW I have two of them (not counting my tiny one) - the one with the
morrocan leather that is a normal size Bible and I have a big study
edition with of course bigger lettering and plenty of notes and such
that really help at times in making sense of particular verses/chapter/
books.

Here is kind of the sad part. At my age, I have never physically
opened up my own wallet and paid for my own Bible.head bowed ;-) )
Both were gifts. Maybe three years ago I looked into buying my own
Bible. They have come a long way, with better guides/ Scofield notes
and concordances and cliff notes / glossary and Indian paper (which is
GREAT paper for a Bible IMO)....better than even my study one. So I
knew what I wanted and talked to a Bible Bookstore and explained
"exactly" what I wanted and I wanted one in the brown morrocan
leather. I was floored by the price/prices depending on particular
'extras' that I feel are very nice and very helpful....things that to
me are a must have and they were going to have too order it for me.
The price if I remember right was $237.00

I know I have spent way more than that on just one radio or
accessories for our hobby, very sadly I didn't buy it. Doesn't speak
too well for my character I suppose, I know this much though - I will
buy that Bible before I buy another radio that costs even close to
that amount.
