Research by Christian booksellers Assoc. and Zondevan Publishers indicate that the average American Christian owns nine Bibles and is actively in the market for more. That statistic troubled Christian resources international executive directore, Fred Palmerton, whose organisation recieves more than 250 letters a month from pastors and Christian books. "Every day more than 122,000 people become Christians and most of those people are in Africa, Asia and South America" reports Palmerton, who serves as a volunteer. 'They're attending churches where even the pastors have no Bibles. In our country, the church isn't growing so much, but the pile of Bibles on every Christian's bookshelf surely is".
Bare your bookshelf website has been set up to enable Christians with surplus Bibles, commentaries etc. to send them to under-resourced Christians in the developing world.
So if your not emotionally attached as I am to my 2 bibles and 1 childrens bible it might be a good way to clear some room.
