About Us

We are believers of the gospel of Jesus Christ and

for many years have had a burden for the truth of the gospel to be told, read, and spoken as Jesus and the apostles did so that any who believe will receive eternal life.

When we received this Bible after the death of John's grandmother, we discovered the signature of his great grandmother Lizzie S. Fawcett and the year 1889 on the inside cover. After a little research, we were very pleased not only to know more about family but in the process learned the value of this Bible as well, (not in monetary means but in wealth of information). Nothing is more valuable than having the whole Bible, with nothing changed or omitted, so we can study God's word to the fullest.

We want to plant the seeds of God's word and spread the gospel to all who are the seeking the truth. May the Lord bless you in your studies.

2 Tim. 3:16

Bible

As you can see by the picture on the right this Bible has two inner columns of text and two outer margins of references with translator notes, etc. I chose to format the text by using one column of text and one column of references. In this Bible, the reference numbers will start with 2 somewhere in the margin and continue to the end of that margin then start over at the top of the next margin. Because my format is different, there are some places where the numbers are right next to each other ( i.e. 2 followed by another 2). Since the volume of references is for the most part abundant, this does not occur often and will not be confusing as to which reference belongs to which verse.

The Bible Helps is a great resource for extra information that is not as well known and will add tremendously to your study. This Bible is extremely fragile rendering it impossible to scan each page so in order to preserve this information, it was necessary to completely retype everything as well as reformat the charts. Though I have been one person typing and proofreading, etc. to acheive this goal, I have not been alone in this endeavor. My husband's support and knowledge in computer technology has proven to be priceless and it is ultimately with my Heavenly Father's help that it has been accomplished.
