My Bible Journey
I was asked recently what version of the Bible do I recommend. Hmmm, that’s a good question. When I was a little boy my Mom gave me a red leather covered King James Bible (KJV) with a zipper and a dangling cross. I loved the Bible and read it many times although I didn’t know [...]
