Where do you get those Bibles?

Sometimes I get the question, how do I get the Bibles. Sometimes people want to help. 

I have a couple of suggestions.  Foolproof, even for the cynics out there: I put up a link, you buy the Bibles and ship them to me.  Guys seem to like this best (you'd think the women would want to shop, but nope, it's the men).  I end up with a nice box on the porch, which gets handed out shortly. 

Here's the link, you want "The Invitation" - These are the backbone of my Handouts.  40-50 cents each.  A little goes a long way (I love that) and they're pretty and the recipients love them. http://www.lifeway.com/Keyword/hboi?Sz=20&type=products&sort=pop

Option 2: you call my local Lifeway and tell them you want to get me some "Invitations", they will do it over the phone and call me to come pick them up.  I know this works, a lady did this about a year and a half ago.  I got a phone call and a nice sack of 40, which didn't last long. 

They are open 9-9 every day but Sunday, of course.  Phone: 281-894-9561  Tell them they are for "Heather the crazy Bible lady" or something along those lines.  They will know. :) 

Daring option: send me a check.  I will buy Bibles and hand them out.  That takes a lot more faith, and frankly, I wouldn't send a check to a stranger, but some people do and I am always supercareful with God's money.  God will whip my butt and show every misaccounted penny to everyone in the universe if I screw up, so I won't.  If you do send me money, let me know how you want it spent.  "Regular, Spanish, or Kids". 

Let me clarify.  If I have a sum of money it will probably go to Invitation New Testaments.  I can carry a lot to the handout on public transit, they are very affordable, the recipients like them, and almost everyone can read them. 

I can get whole Bibles from my church, although from what I heard I have pretty much annihilated their stash.  I need to talk to the pastor about that. 

Spanish: I have a lot of Spanish recipients.  Recently a lady sent me some money.  I spent $50 of it on a case of 50 Spanish NT, and handed out virtually the entire case in one handout.  Huge eagerness for God.  Lots of fun Spanish things here: Spanish goodies   I have handed out a lot of those little Gospels of John (the 30 cents each one) and the New Testaments (probably a couple hundred at least).   

You know, what the hell.  My name is up there: why not the address.

If you are led to buy something, just ship it there and I will find it in my porch shortly, then you can read all about the ensuring handout. 

Last but not least, kiddie Bibles.  I love the kiddie Bibles, but they cost 4x the cost of an Invitation and I have to pay shipping. Parents adore these.  You would not believe how many scary looking people are almost in tears at the thought of a children's Bible for their kids.  They love it.  Kids love them.  But, like I said, they ain't "cheap" in my book.  Definitely on the wish list, though.
