Want to be a part of history? To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the NIV Bible, Zondervan has launched Bible Across America, a cross-country RV tour. Two couples will be traveling 15,000 miles across the United States making stops at churches, universities, retail stores and special events where people are invited to contribute a verse to comeplete a handwritten Bible—America's NIV.
Writers of America's NIV will pen a single verse on actual thin-stock Bible paper. Each verse and each page will be published together as a complete America's NIV Bible available in stores nationwide. The Bible will include an unprecedented index of 31,173 contributors, one for every verse of the Bible. Zondervan plans to create two original editions. One original transcript of America's NIV will be offered to the Smithsonian Institution and the second will be auctioned off to benefit the International Bible Society in support of their Bible translation and distribution efforts around the world.
Upcoming stops include Indianapolis (11/1), Chicagoland (11/2 & 11/3) and Minneapolis (11/5). The first Chicagoland stop is in Oak Brook. The second is still to be announced. For details, visit www.bibleacrossamerica.com.
Update: The second Chicagoland stop is at Trinity Christian College.
