A book for the ages

The Amazing Bible

The Bible is unique. It was written over a period of 1600 years by about 40 human authors most of whom never met each other. From the time it was first published, there had been vigorous and hostile efforts to stamp it out. Enemies of the Bible [with full backing of the powers that be] burned every copy they can find and killed anyone who possessed it. Yet the Bible endured and has become the bestseller of all bestsellers! World sales of the Bible exceed 100 million every year! The latest survey (done in 1992) indicates that over 7.5 billion bible copies had been printed and distributed. Already translated into more than 2000 languages and dialects, many more translations into other languages are in the works. No other book comes close. Truly amazing!
