There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation.
We see Bibles in every bookstore; Bibles of every size, price and style. There are Bibles in almost every house in the land. But all this time I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
