Just this week a 93 yr old lady inquired about getting a Talking Bible.She said her eyes were tired. She wanted her favorite King James Version. I told her we had a KJV Talking Bible with one of the finest narrations done by Don Wagner. We never got to talking about costs.
I picked one up in the office for her and showed her how simple it was to use. I said, “Just push any of the buttons and discover how easy it is to move from book to book or to select the book and chapter you want to listen to.” I told her, “You cannot break it, so don’t be afraid to experiment with those few buttons.”
Before I left, she said, “I’ll be making a contribution for the ministry.” Jokingly, I responded to this friend saying, “And I’m going to be worrying every night about your doing this.”
Guess what! Two days later, there was a note in my box with a check made out to Talking Bibles for $500.00. A couple of days ago, she told me how pleased and happy she was to have her own, personal Talking Bible.
Yes, for anyone with tired eyes for whom reading has become more difficult, a Talking Bible is the answer. You can request either the KJV or the ESV narrations of the entire Bible. I love them both.
I hope you’ll pray for the ministry and help with finances. Your donations mean someone, unable to read or blind, will receive a Talking Bible in a requested language. This is a marvelous gift for a Christian in an oral culture who wants and needs a Talking Bible to grow close to Christ and to be equipped to share the gospel with others, winning them to faith in Christ and growing His church. Thanks be to God for such a time and opportunity to be faithful in His mission to make disciples of all the nations.
One can donate on line, www.talkingbibles.org or you can send your contribution to Talking Bibles International, PO Box 906. Escondido, CA 92025. Feel free to call 1-800-318-7262 for more details.
Because they need to hear,
