I might have to get one of these for my Baptist Brother and White Horse Inn compatriot, Ken Jones.  Those of us in earthquake country in Southern California, would appreciate a "crush-proof Bible," with all of judgment passages highlighted in red.

What well plubshers think of next. I have seen something simular and I tell you that people are not buying them at the House of Bibles.

[R.K.Brumbelow]

So Dr Riddlebarger does that mean its the same if it is Sprinkled or Dunked?

[Paul C. Quillman]

I'll have to ask my brother-in-law about this. He works in the Bible dept at Nelson (inventory control, so he does know about new product.)

I am not suprised by this. Several months ago, Nelson was sold to an investor group, and the guy that ran Nelson for the last several years is now consulting for them, at least through the transition. Bottom line, it looks like a marketing gimmick to me. I wonder if we can get that in a Schofield KJV, or a Ririe NKJV?:)

No Baptist jokes! I'm so proud of you Kim. Such self-control. :)

I need a drought and tornado proof Bible here in Kansas

[Rick B.]

Does it bounce? It looks like it could bounce.

What about the Battlezone Bibles ESV or NLT. They come in a metal case. Look goffy but they may work in an earthquake.

[Terry]

Just as long as it is KJV only and all will be ok!!!!

[Daniel F.]

The subtext of the bible writes, "Easy to read. Impossible to put down."

Well if it's impossible to put down, I sure would hope it would be an easy read. My suspicion is that the water-proof bible will only be offered in The Message version. People have a hard enough time as it is with "Thou, art" language anyways, right? Can you imagine trying to read that underwater!?!? =)

[Brannan E.]

Don't think the Battlezone would be up to snuff--my friend Phil had one, and at the end of its short life it looked like a sardine can that had fallen into a tiger cage.

Phil isn't exactly 'gentle' with his things, though...

Point I made on Slice of Laodicea:

This is the New Century Version. See http://www.bible-researcher.com/ncv.html.

A sample chapter, Romans 1, contains an immediate and fatal blasphemy--suggesting that Christ attained being "Son of God," rather than being Divine inherently. (vv. 3-4) This passage differs strongly from the accepted translations (e.g. KJV, NIV), which almost uniformly use the word "declared," not "appointed."

This is the "Word" contained in this waterproof Bible. Alas that, in their haste to preserve the Bible from water, they expose the reader to eternal fire!

I need to find a waterproof Bible that is King James Version. Does anyone know where I could get one??
